One of the most electrifying opening of my life. The song is perfect and the animation and art style from another dimension. The last series of cuts with this fascinating acting from the girl drives me crazy. I MUST watch this again. It’s been soooooo long.
all this trumpets in all anime from this era put a very epic and energetic style, those soundtrack are the cherry on top of all those shows without them it wouldn't be the same

In the origin this anime was a new Mazinger adaption based on the Nagai's man...but for many problems with TOEI, they changed Mazinger into a new robot (with aspects of Mazinger and Getter manga)
Liam Barnes, Liam, Dangaioh was redesigned and animated by the most detailed oriented man in Japanese Anime History, The Great Masami Obari, Google him and learn about this GENIUS!!!
OOooooooh SHIT, right in the childhood! I remember taping this to VHS at 2am then sneaking downstairs in my PJ's and duvet to watch Evangelion and martian successor nadesico on syfy in the morning. ahhh those were better, simpler times ( gazes off into the horizon out his window ) xD
thesebster88 Haha, no way! I thought I was literally the only one who remembers this being shown in the early hours (or late at night) on Sci-Fi Channel on a Saturday evening! Long before the days of me going out into the world of clubs and bars this took me right back to my childhood! :D
thesebster88 hahahah I remember I use to creep into my mums room to watch it. she slept quite deep. I remember watching shadow skills, wicked city and many more. good freaking times.
This looks very similar to the Thundercats and Silverhawks openings, in terms of animation styles. Can anyone confirm? I realize they are all japanese animation, but they are super stylized even for "anime" openings. If anyone can recommend any similar openings, I'd love to know about them. These three just set the bar for me.
According to ANN, Masahito Yamashita who worked on Dangaioh OP and ED animation also worked on Silverhawks' OP ( source: www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=4343 )
Dude/Dudette, thanks so much for that. I checked that out and found the Machine Robo: Revenge of Chronos OP (here: th-cam.com/video/xl4IqLfzHwg/w-d-xo.html ), which seems a little lower budget, but hits a lot of the same notes as this OP. Awesome! Thanks.
This anime had great potentials. It's so freaking awesome even today but unfortunately it's one of the many retro OVA with incomplete story. The tv series they released at the '90s was so mediocre and forgetable. For those who don't know, Bangai-O game got its name inspired by DangaiO.
i happens alot, another good example of this is Geppy-X which is a nice(albeit meiocre) getter robo spoof. including the sacrifice a character(in geppy you can choose which of the 3 you lose and gets replaces on "season 2").
I agree. I hate to use this opportunity to shamelessly plug but you seem like someone who might enjoy my channel. We basically do nothing but talk about stuff just like this.
Well, I kind of have to agree with the 6/10. That still means that I liked it (6/10 is a positive score after all), but the story didn't make a lot of sense (Why does Tarsan help them after they betrayed him? Why would Shazaria want to kill Lamba if she didn't do anything, and her father was arguably in the right?) and therefore took suspense out of the scenes. The directing wasn't always on point either, but it didn't bother me too much. The fights and designs are among the greatest I've ever seen, but the series as a whole doesn't live up to them. Once again, I liked it and found it to be an enjoyable watch, but Dangaioh wastes a lot of potential.
Modern anime fans tend not to like robot shows unless: A: They're Gundam. B: They have lots of waifu pandering. Except Gurren Lagannn, which somehow gets all the credit from ripping off Getter Robo and lots of old Super Robots.
I have seen this trend of not liking robot shows, although most of the time they dislike everything except Code Geass, Gurren Lagann and Evangelion (which coincidentally is all the Mecha they've seen outside of Transformers). But I'm going to disagree on your opinion on Gurren Lagann. The stuff they "ripped off" wasn't the thing that made Gurren Lagann big. It was just about everything else. for one, the narrative and its central theme of evolution is genius. They expand on Getter Rays (I'm going off general description I found of them, I haven't seen or read Getter Robo yet) massively by having DNA-based beings be the source of Spiral Energy and introducing the Spiral Nemesis, which can destroy the universe. This, along with none of the antagonists (which all have the same basic goals btw) being villains, avoids telling a black-and-white story and the ending reflects that perfectly: They have found a middle way between the Spiral Nemesis and being enslaved and kept from reaching greater heights. Also, the fact that it features great characters (Simon in particular, but also the antagonists and the fact that most characters fall into the "Kamina" or the "Rossiu" category of philosophy and thinking) with great designs, really well animated action scenes and the classic Gainax sense of humour helped it become popular with hardcore fans and casual anime watchers alike. By the way, originality is not necessarily a virtue. Or are you still reading the Epic of Gilgamesh? Many pieces of art have been derivative (more so than Gurren Lagann was, despite the heavy referencing that comes with being a Gainax show) and are still celebrated as great works of art. Just take sacral paintings such as Madonnas. The "value" (how much I like it, it's subjective anyway) of a work of art lies less in its new ideas, but in how it uses and executes its ideas.
Darkonius I just get kinda salty about modern weebs knowing nothing about the old stuff and praising TTGL (and even a bit of Eva) for being so new and original and different, when their themes and gimmicks had been done before (Evolution rays and anti evolution ray enemies, universe sized robot, ending where all the MCs die confusingly - all in Getter, baby). What I'm saying is I love me some Getter and Dancouga. Ga Keen was terrible and stupid.
I agreee with you there, Record of Lodoss War does have such a great opening, it'd be impossible for anything to live up to it. Anyway! As for Dangaioh, I'd say absolutely yes. The animation is amazing and despite being from 87 hasn't aged a day, not only due to being an OVA but also because the team who made this show clearly cared a lot. The main issue people tend to have with this show is the ending. They only got 3 episodes!! It's a shame because there was another Dangaioh show in the 90's but, it wasn't the same characters and it was also quite mid...
R.I.P. Mizuki Ichiro. You sang a lot of Anime songs I've enjoyed over the years. But this one has a special place among them.
R.I.P He will be missed very much
Omg he actually died?! 😢😢😢😢
probably one of the best ever anime openings
i have a video compilation of mecha animes from the 70s, 80s and 90s, let me tell ya, the genre is filled with "best ever anime ops"...
Absolutely one of the GOATs, so good Ichiro Mizuki doesn't ever want to sing it by himself
@@marcosdheleno share the video
@@marcosdheleno mmmm no, actually most of them were good, other were mediocre, but none comes close to this level of epicness in animation and music.
seconded
Dangaioh's design is truly master-class.
No other anime intro gives me goosebumps the way this one does.
One of the most electrifying opening of my life. The song is perfect and the animation and art style from another dimension. The last series of cuts with this fascinating acting from the girl drives me crazy.
I MUST watch this again. It’s been soooooo long.
It's so hot blooded. I have never seen the whole series and I hope it's as good as the intro lol
all this trumpets in all anime from this era put a very epic and energetic style, those soundtrack are the cherry on top of all those shows without them it wouldn't be the same
why the 80's robots anime is so badass
even the intro is so badass
Gaming Dreamer 80's weren't called the Golden Age of Anime for naught.
Because Obari
@@deksodba and kawamori
including 90's, the 90's carried over the quality of 80's, and the music is not something you would hear much now a days
If this is Haruhiko Mikimoto’s designs, he was responsible for a LOT of the 80s anime stuff we all grew up and love.
IIRC is actually Toshiki Hirano's art.
I like how the vocal harmonies are so prominent. That’s actually not so common for anime songs
I used to have this on vhs, a pirated copy i bought at a comic con. I haven't seen this in years.
This may still be my favorite anime opening ever in a long run of watching anime
the song is powerfull and the animation is great!!
I'm gonna have to second that notion man, It has just about every single thing you could possibly want out of an anime opening.
Man, they dont make nothing like they used to, so much heart was given back then.
The opening alone makes me want to watch the show
welcome to the mecha genre, we have fists that turn into missiles, as well as gigantic mountains of awersome nonsense...
Goddamn I love this artstyle.
I can't get over the honk when he pulls out the sword at 1:05
0:09 That's one tantrum that would take down the whole mall.
Anime de los 80 lo mejor
First time watch dangaioh on DVD theme song was dope I miss classic anime alot
This intro has particularly good sound effects.

When anime was the shit and not just shit!
lmao
In the origin this anime was a new Mazinger adaption based on the Nagai's man...but for many problems with TOEI, they changed Mazinger into a new robot (with aspects of Mazinger and Getter manga)
takes the concept of mazinger z to a new level of epicness.
AIC had one of the best animators in their studio. I wonder where all of them are now
For 1987, the animation is very impressive.
It's just the OP. The actual show is probably much lower quality by comparison. Just the nature of the medium.
Brandon Brown have you even watch the anime??
its still good thou, so i don't what are you talkin about..
@@brandonbrown6922 Actually, for the most part the animation was the same quality. Dangaioh was an OVA miniseries, so had a higher budget.
Liam Barnes, Liam, Dangaioh was redesigned and animated by the most detailed oriented man in Japanese Anime History, The Great Masami Obari, Google him and learn about this GENIUS!!!
This is nonsense. The 80's and early 90's were the pinnacle in animation quality, for both Japanese and American productions.
Belíssima música, abertura impressionante pra tecnologia da época.
80s was soooo rad.
MUCHAS GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR...ESTA ESPECTACULAR
Best joiner mech opening ever... EVER!!!
i never watch this anime but i can see its a truly amazing.super robot wars always introduce a great anime
I have to thank Matt Frank for high lighting this.
este anime es como el asma , te deja a medio respirar cuando tenia para mas
I just found my new anime
Mygod... i watched this anime when i was 3 years old boy!
Любимое аниме детства)))
This is so epic! I need to watch this anime!
OOooooooh SHIT, right in the childhood! I remember taping this to VHS at 2am then sneaking downstairs in my PJ's and duvet to watch Evangelion and martian successor nadesico on syfy in the morning.

ミアかわいいなぁ
You know I think this is the only thing on earth more 80s and Cyndi lauper. It at least reached parity.
I haven’t seen this show but I’ve heard of it, at first glance that first part made me think it’s Charlie’s angels but with mecha

リアルロボット全盛期に作られたスーパーロボットアニメ
Damn that was good!
ミアは今でも通用するキャラデザ
yo that's so sick

For those who don't know, Bangai-O game got its name inspired by DangaiO.
Bangaio spirits, like the treasure games? Oh man, that’s so awesome~
i happens alot, another good example of this is Geppy-X which is a nice(albeit meiocre) getter robo spoof. including the sacrifice a character(in geppy you can choose which of the 3 you lose and gets replaces on "season 2").
Very Nice
もうスパロボ出ねーんか？
Pai Tunder is the best Dangaioh.
Sorry, but you misspelled "Mia Alice". ;p
Well, Mia is ridiculously hot, but Pai is just a whole otherlevel. Just telling on the quality of the fems in this series.
I still think Mia has more balanced skills but, yeah, Pai is OP!
Real shame it got cut short. Who knows what kinds of powers they had planned for Mia.
I agree. I hate to use this opportunity to shamelessly plug but you seem like someone who might enjoy my channel. We basically do nothing but talk about stuff just like this.
ole q grande !!!!
0:06 - 0:17
Do the female characters even need a big mecha to destroy enemies?
That character has super strength to be fair also those guys are cannon fodder in this show lol
yeah, because the enemy mechs are quite powerfull too
bro this REEKS of Ōbari
Earth smile in 80's
That moment when this legendary gets a 6/10 rating according to fans...
MyAnimeList doesn't have taste in glorious 80's anime, so don't be surprised lol
Well, I kind of have to agree with the 6/10.

DANGAIOH!!!!!! That is all.
3 Episodes from 1987 to 1989
Moe ruined all😢
Cross Fight!
PSYCHIC WAAAAAVE!!!
Here bcuz
Iron Saga x Dangaioh Collaboration
So is the show worth watching? It does have a great opening, but then again, so do Cybuster and Lodoss TV.
I agreee with you there, Record of Lodoss War does have such a great opening, it'd be impossible for anything to live up to it.
Anyway! As for Dangaioh, I'd say absolutely yes. The animation is amazing and despite being from 87 hasn't aged a day, not only due to being an OVA but also because the team who made this show clearly cared a lot.

Reason why 80's kids are tall because of Dangaioh waifus
1:23,hey baby. Why not we dump these guys and you and I can talk?
Wait..what do you mean she's...her face says she's wanting it. 0_0

This has romance? this may be wrong to ask, but I do not know because he gave me that impression
Haja Taisei Dangaioh
Pai Thunder was instrumental in my discovery that I was a lesbian, lol! So hot

なんかめっちゃエッチじゃね？
なんなんだよ この投げやりなロボットアニメは？
I think I got a seizure watching this
