Daimos TV Series Review




Daimos


                  Daimos is a Japanese anime television series produced by Sunrise. It never aired in the US, but toys of Daimos were included in both the Godaikin and Shogun Warriors lines. A movie with the pivotal episodes strung together titled Starbirds was released in the US by the same company that released Tranzor Z. 
                 However, in addition to its native Japan, Daimos was popular in Philippines, Malaysia, Italy and France. It ran from 1 April 1978 to 27 January 1979 and consisted of 44 episodes. The name Daimos is derived from Deimos, one of the two moons of Mars. Outside Japan, the show also aired in the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Italy. The first appearance of Daimos in the United States was in the late 1970s as a part of Mattel's Shogun Warriors line of imported Super Robot toys.

        Tōshō Daimos is a Japanese anime television first released on April 1, 1978 to January 27, 1979 and has 44 episodes. Daimos tells the story of Earth being invaded by a race of Winged Humanoids called the Brahmins/Balmians, all due to failed peace negotiations that took a great toll on both sides. The Earth is outmatched, but they have hope in form of the Motion Capture Mecha Daimos, piloted by the Karate champ Kazuya Ryuuzaki. But problems arise when Kazuya himself meets a mysterious girl named Erika, and falls in love... and later finds out that she is the Princess of the Brahmins, and the sister of the head of the invaders, Prince Richter, to boot. 
                   Just like its predecessor Voltes V, Daimos features alien enemies that turn out to be Not So Different, though it still follows the Monster Of The Week formula.

                Tadao Nagahama, who directed the series, is often miscredited as the "creator" of the trilogy. It was actually created by "Saburo Yatsude," best known to American fans as the creator of Voltron. "Saburo Yatsude" is not a real person. Similar to "Hajime Yatate", the name is a pseudonym which refers to the collective staff of Toei Co. The series was animated by Sunrise on Toei's behalf. The first appearance of Daimos in the United States was in the late 1970s as a part of Mattel's Shogun Warriors line of imported Super Robot toys.\
