Dendoh's pretty fantastic for a lot of different reasons, and I think we're all going to come to regret not picking it as the favorite series. It's pretty funny without relying on the same old tired jokes. It has a few deconstructive elements without being grimdark. The characters are distinctive and well written. Particularly the two leads, who bicker like an old married couple, but when the chips are down they get poo poo done.

Unfortunately the person behind the series composition as well as several episode scripts for Dendoh, Chiaki Morosawa, passed away earlier this year. Her husband Mitsuo Fukuda was the director and they worked on several shows together. (Prior to this it was Cyber Formula GPX and afterwards Gundam SEED.) Dendoh and Cyber Formula are both excellent shows though and if you like what Dendoh does it's worth looking up at least the original Cyber Formula which is to racing anime what Dendoh is to super robots. It got an official English DVD release though that might be hard to find these days. Dendoh sadly never did.

For instance, I scoured Nico and managed to find the full version vocal of W-Infinity to use later in this. Youtube didn't have it, so I figured I'd upload the thing as it's a pretty nice song. It was IMMEDIATELY content ID'd and blocked everywhere. Not even auto-monetized like Bandai did with Z3's Unicorn BGMs - blocked. Brunom1 fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Aug 18, 2016 |

The Galfa/Gulfer have a pretty similar name to Golion's Galra. It would be amusing if they appeared together and people kept confusing them. But I feel like there was a third villain faction that also has a similar name, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was from... Also... Dendoh episode 2 preview posted:

GEAR Fighter Dendoh. All I have to say about this is...YES! I love this series, or at least as much as I've watched of it and played from MX. This is going to be SO fun. Also, of course Devil Satan 6 has a Scottish accent, he's from Space Scotland, which, alongside Space England and Space Wales, forms Space Great Britain. Throw in Northern Space Ireland, which used to a part of Space Ireland but it split off (literally, they cut themselves off from the rest of the planet, attached engines and left what is now the Republic of Space Ireland behind), and you get the United Space Kingdom. GimmickMan posted:Aqua should hook up with someone closer to her age, like Zengar. Sanger is in his late 20s, Hugo is 19 or 20 and Aqua is 23. No way is Sanger closer to Aqua's age than Hugo. Of course, the OG universe doesn't have the whole "I'm the oldest pilot!" gag since she's not the only one in her early-mid 20s. And that gag is like "The Crusher", it's not gonna go away anytime soon.

Cyber Formula and Dendoh are legitimately excellent shows with a lot of high-quality direction and writing. The fact that Fukuda did such a good job with them is likely part of WHY he was tagged for SEED. According to stories he was apparently going to be the guy set up to do the next Yuusha series after Gaogaigar before it got canned and the staff that was going to work on it got shuffled over to do Dendoh instead. Hisayuki Hirokazu was going to do the character designs (and eventually did when Baan Gaan appeared in video games) and of course is the guy who did Dendoh's character art. Effectively Dendoh is what you'd get if someone is tapped to make a Yuusha show but then not actual use the Yuusha franchise. The end result is that it's missing some elements of Yuusha but still has a lot in common. If you like those kind of shows Dendoh is really close to the top tier.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Was that a motorbike as a unit with seemingly no weapons and Vega just jumping off it to fight? Devil Saturn - and the Gyandolar in general - are not from Dendoh, mind. And he speaks in Kansai, a dialect that's usually localized as a thick US southern accent. Normally, I would simply that ignored it and written him speaking in plain English but since the game went out of its way to poke at his manner of speech, I needed to turn it into something to make it fit. The idea of a Scottish accent amused me enough that I figured I'd go with that.

Some writers are perfectly competent when they either don't have the final say in a story, or have another writer to make up their deficiencies: Gear Fighter Dendoh had that writer, and Seed...well, Seed didn't. Success, sadly, often leads to half baked writers being given power they can't handle. You can even kind of see it, as SEED starts with a pretty basic/competent premise: update the first Gundam series with a modern animation style and better paced/more sympathetic motivations for the protagonist and his rival. It worked, right up until the writers started to add motivations and relationships without having any idea how to reconcile them with the story as a whole (which, unsurprisingly, didn't take long); without someone to do that work for them (or to stop them from adding those problems in the first place), SEED didn't have what it needed to work.

Even then, I don't think Original SEED is THAT bad. It's just bland and derivative and there really isn't any reason to watch it over the original now that SEED's old enough that its animation doesn't look that great either. Most of the worst things about it didn't get offensively bad until Destiny hit.

Most of the worst things about it didn't get offensively bad until Destiny hit. The reason it's just bland is because the executives freaked out and changed the post-Freedom episodes when the writers told them they were planning on brutally killing most of the characters, and maiming the rest. The reason Destiny is so much worse though is because it didn't have the luxury of the basic plot framing that Seed had: because everything was more-or-less original, the worse aspects of the writing came out. thetruegentleman fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Aug 19, 2016 |

Douglas and confirm our mission orders.: “Confirm”…?! You… Douglas can tell from their frowning faces that the two of them have been fighting, though Hugo denies it. He's about to tell them the area he wants them to patrol when an alert comes in from a Federal surveillance plane: unidentified Mobile Suits at point F2309. Bright orders him to try and get an ID and, when he does, Torres is shocked: “Th-this code is… the Death Army!” The footage from the surveillance plane leaves no mistake, as evidenced by Hugo’s shocked expression. Douglas is also dumbstruck, as those units should have all vanished with the Devil Gundam a year ago – the Argama crew was even there to see the Shuffle Alliance end the monster. Hugo is pissed off, wondering if this means the Devil Gundam has resurrected. As he froths at the mouth with rage, ignorant of Aqua’s confusion, Bright orders everyone to battle stations – the Nahel Argama is going to intercept these things.  Mission 5 – A Nightmarish Gundam Fight  Bright is loath to relive this nightmare again and Torres immediately pings the Death Army engaging us. There are no underground heat signatures, meaning the main Devil Gundam isn’t around; Ginga is having a hard time believing the monstrosities ahead are MSs but Hokuto had seen them before on TV. With that in mind, Bright sends everyone forward.  Kill everything, don’t lose the Argama. We’ve land-bound Death Army soldiers to the north plus, and I’m 100% serious about this name, Death BIRDIES to the west. They’re a wee bit bulkier than the mooks we’ve fought thus far but still no threat at all.  With that in mind, Ginga is just in range to showcase his strongest attack. Getting kills with him is necessary for a secret. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIW1-uPU9Hs   Kouji and Ryouma fall barely short of oneshotting others.  How about you, Hugo?        Nope. That’s fine, Light finishes the job. Everyone else is getting closer.  Enemy Phase!   Two Soldiers move after Hugo, their scorching remains resulting in a level up and him learning Spirit.  The last one gets wise and tries someone else.      Just as bad.  The Birdies are a bit smarter, with two hanging back to snipe at Ryouma.  Player Phase!  Then again, that gives me a chance to show off Double Getter Beam so it’s all good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V481hon5v0k  Kouji cleans out the last bird, learning Prevail L2.   : We’ve got more!

Also members of the Shuffle Alliance.: Sai, George… why are you here?: Isn’t it obvious? It’s the Shuffle Alliance’s duty to exterminate those abominations, no?: Yeah, that’s why, bro. Still, how about a battle for old time’s sake?: What?!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPU--Qbhoxo : What are you doing, Sai?!: I just told you! Let’s go, bro! Time for a battle – a Gundam Fight!: (He’s…!): What is he doing…? This is hardly the time for that…!: I suppose I will just sit back and watch. And please, do not hold back, Domon. : … Fine. Everyone else will stay out of this.*Domon splits off from Fuunsaiki* : Haaaaaah…! Haah!! : Ok… Let’s do this, bro! Gundam Fight!: Reaaaadyyyyyy!: GOOO!!So now we have to reduce the Dragon Gundam under 50% HP and, like our last Medius battle, no one else can even move. Granted, it’s not like Domon even needs help to do this:   Fuunsaiki Pilot Skills:
Yup, it’s a horse. Not even a cyber-horse or an AI – just a goddamn awesome horse that gets a Mobile Suit and puts on a special suit! Fuunsaiki’s purpose is to serve as a mount for Domon (or Master Asia, in games where he’s around) and help him fly and tear through the battlefield faster. He also provides a slight boost to HP, Armor and Mobility. I think he may serve as ablative armor, taking a killing blow himself while leaving the God Gundam unscathed… but that would require Domon ever being at risk of being killed.   God Gundam (Domon Kasshu) Pilot Skills:
Holy poo poo, this guy’s broken. He’s strong as no one’s business (I’d say strongest Real in the game), has a decently ranged MAPW and is virtually untouchable once his morale gets going. Domon’s stats are, of course, through the roof in all but defense and range – the two he needs the least. The only weaknesses he has are that the God Gundam is rather limited in movement and reach if you’re not using its strongest attack (Fuunsaiki or parts fix the former, too). It can be a bit of an EN-guzzler, too, but his attacks are rather crit-happy so you can go mook hunting with his cheaper weapons. You’ve no reason to not use Domon unless you’re purposefully holding back. Now, just because Domon could beat Sai by himself (again), doesn’t mean we can speed things up for us. I’ll move him a few steps back to draw in the Dragon Gundam. Enemy Phase!  And here he comes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAw84ZkES3c How the usual battle with Domon will play out. George, true to his word, is standing by. Player Phase!  You seem healthful. Would you like to not be?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfQhwWx9sps No introduction needed for this attack, right? And you better the yelling along with Domon! : Oof… You still got it, bro!: …While you’re not as good as usual, Sai. : Heh, heheheheh…: …: Still… I’m really gonna beat you today.: …!: Because I got my hands on… : This wonderful power! : Th-that’s… He’s regenerating?!  : I knew it. You’re…! : That’s right, bro! We’ve DG Cells! : I’m sure you’re also well aware of their magnificence, yes? Hmhmhm.: …: While I know you refused this power once, what about now? Would you care to partake?: Never!: Ho-hum, as stone-headed as ever. I suppose we’ve no choice but to use force now.: Domon! While we don’t know what happened, those two are now afflicted by the DG Cells!: No! That’s impossible!: Huh?!: As that battle raged on, these men took upon themselves the crests of the Shuffle Alliance… There is no way they bowed to the Devil Gundam!: Hmhmhm… I can see why you’d want to think that, Domon…: But we needed power beyond what the Shuffle Alliance offered…: That’s right. All to protect the Earth Sphere, you see.: … : It’s just like before…! And in that case, we should be able to save them in the same way we did back then!: We don’t need to save these two! What I’ll do is defeat them!: What are you talking about, Domon?!: Captain Bright, give your troops the order to attack! : …Are you sure? : Aren’t they your friends? Why won’t you try to save them?!: Again, we don’t need to do that…! : Is that true…?!: Yes. I swear it by my fists! : Th-that’s crazy! If you’re wrong, this’ll end soooo badly! : Nah, don’t worry about that.: Huh?!: The fists are the most important thing to any martial artist and he swore on them. So I believe him.  : Just because of that…?!: (If he’s saying that much, then he must be certain…): All troops, bring down those two Gundams! : R-really, captain?! They’re members of the Shuffle Alliance, just like Domon Kasshu…! : If they’re infected by the DG Cells, then the better option would be to try and rescue them!: No – I’ll take full responsibility for the outcome! Fire at will!Welp, I guess we’re gonna be killing about a third of the Shuffle Alliance today. I hope these two weren’t your favorite G Gundam characters!  Fuunsaiki can’t scoop Domon up, so he’ll pop Iron Wall and make himself busy for a turn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjyfD3Yl_Cc Everyone else starts closing in. Enemy Phase!  Alright, Round 2. : How could you abandon us, bro? Talk about cruel.: If you really are Sai Saici, then I’d readily risk my life to save you…: However, my heart… and my fists are telling me that you cannot be excused!    “VULCAAAAN!!”  George is done watching, of course. : Domon… do you truly mean to strike me, your friend, down?: Shut up! The George I know has a spirit as noble as a rose! Having let yourself be consumed by power, you are now no more than a pig sloshing in the mud!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4fZwziqdsY  The enemies all close in on us. Player Phase!  Still trying (and failing) on getting the ZZ kids levels.      Roux also kills a Birdie, still nothing. Maybe I’ll try again later, with stronger mooks.  Two birds left.    Now only one. It’ll die in a counterattack, easy.  Might as well send Kouji to have words with Evil Sai.  : drat it, this guy keeps moving all over the place!: What, you think you can take me with the puny UFO? You wanna die?     You gotta be able to hit first, Sai (he had an 8% chance, fyi). Enemy Phase!  George and Sai waste their time. Death Army soldiers still trudging on over from across the map and the Birdie actually decides to just move in. Player Phase!  Hey, they’re finally getting closer!    And boom.  Elle decides to try my patience and fail to kill the Birdie. I would be annoyed but that allowed me to realize that I was wrong: Getter Dragon and Q actually have another combined attack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrL-EC_KS54 About 600 points weaker than Double Getter Beam, and with two less range, but it still hits hard and is absolutely FREE to use! Plus, I think this one looks nicer, what with Ryouma carrying Michiru away.  As I’m sending folks over to kill the remaining mooks, we’ll deal with Sai. : Hah! There’s no way you can keep up with me!: Those who’ve lost themselves to power have no chance of emerging victorious! We’ll make you see that!    : You guys’ve no idea how great this power is!: Strength earned through training is something to be proud of. : But yours came from cheap tricks. You don’t get to be all puffed up.: Well, you sure told me… Guess I’ll have to show you what I’m all about by breaking you in half!   : Come, now… you actually think you can pin me down with these sluggish moves? : Zip it, ya ‘roided-up freak! I’m just getting started!      Sai gets pissed when he loses but Domon tells him to drop the act – the Sai he knows is FAR stronger than this. “Sai” shakes his fist at him and explodes.  Oh, boy, Kaine just got even faster. I’m gonna need to give Tap and Light some speed boosts to keep up. Judau, Roux and Bright reach the zombie soldiers at last and put them out of their misery. Now for George! : You dare face me with such a pitiful contraption? Is this a traditional Japanese Kamikaze move? : Hey, screw you! I’m not about to be one-upped by someone who didn’t work to get strong!   : Keep your guard up, Ryou! Regardless of where his power came from, we’re dealing with a souped-up Gundam Fighter now!: Please. My strength has long since transcended that denomination.: And we’ll still come out on top, so long as you use that strength for your self-interest!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9oE5DpIf5k Heeey, would you look at that. : DG Cells… I refuse to allow such demonic technology to taint this beautiful planet!: Your posturing is so very quaint… However, you will soon learn that ideals, beliefs, love and courage all kneel before power.    : Big time heroes like the Shuffle Alliance resorting to these cheap tricks? How the mighty have fallen!: Bark all you want. My body is currently reverberating under the sweet melody a raw power…: Such sensation is beyond philistines like you!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU-d8KvHFBE No other way to finish this, really. SEKIHA TENKYOOOOOO KEEEEEEEEEEEN!!  George is gobsmacked that Domon could really strike him down without any hesitation. Domon says that there's no way he would hesitate in the first place: even if a doll could imitate George, it could certainly not surpass him. George, as he blows up, has to hand it to his insight.  Domon takes four levels for a Cheered kill, learning Spirit and Prevail L3. Sai and George dropped a Shuffle Crest (+5 to starting morale) and a Booster.  That’s all enemies destroyed and it seems pretty clear from Domon’s attitude that we were dealing with doppelgangers there. That’s why he fought as freely as he did. Inwardly, however, Domon notes that all this seems to have been orchestrated to draw him out. Bright, of course, has many questions to ask and invites him and Rain aboard the ship.  Back in the Argama, Rain relates how the Death Army first showed up a few days before, in some ruins by the vicinity of Tokyo Jupiter. Why there? That’s what they’re trying to determine – still unsuccessful, mind. Domon says that at the very least, one thing is clear: the doppelgangers were sent to divert their attention away from whoever’s scheming to revive the Devil Gundam. The problem, of course, is that all the DG Cells should’ve been destroyed by Raizou Kasshu, Domon’s father and the Devil Gundam’s creator. The best Domon can tell Kouji is that someone must’ve obtained a sample of DG Cells during the Devil Gundam incident. That wouldn’t be too difficult to do, given how even the Dragonar team saw videos of the Gundam infecting so many places a year ago: the Guiana Highlands, Lantao Island, etc. Problem is, Rain says, Raizou had thought of that and that’s why he released a vaccine meant to trigger apoptosis in all DG Cells. It was with that vaccine that the Shuffle Alliance managed to win that battle… and the new Death Army today seemed immune to it.  In short, these units were made with upgraded DG Cells? Yes and Raizou told Rain that doing such modifications would require some top level tech. That carries a lot of weight, coming from their creator. Vega ponders if the Gulfer could be behind it but, thankfully, Rain and Domon haven’t found any indication towards that. Still, they’re both planning on continuing their investigation and that’s why they wish to join the Nahel Argama crew. Bright is a bit queasy as doing so will mean thrusting other problems into them but Domon is ready to do his part, as one of the Shuffle Alliance. In that case, Bright welcomes them with open arms. Light is a bit curious as to the captain’s apparent familiarity with these two and Bright informs that the Argama had also taken part in the final battle with the Devil Gundam, a year ago. The Nadesico B was also there, along with a bunch of Gundams. Torres is still amazed at a certain stunt Domon pulled when facing the Devil Gundam… but the King of Hearts seems a bit queasy to retell. Rain says that’s a story for another time, leaving with Domon to do maintenance on the God Gundam. Kouji doesn’t know what happened but Bright asks Torres to keep quiet about “that”. Light and Vega figure everyone’s got stuff they don’t want to be spread to the four winds.  : So, Hugo? Are you going to give me that explanation?: …: There was something between you and the Devil Gundam, no? …Did you fight it during your time with the Special Forces, maybe?: And what about the King of Hearts? Do you…: …*People walk over.* : That was close, Domon.  : Hm.: Still, it’s only a matter of time before everyone finds out.: I guess so…: (Domon Kasshu…): (Had he just destroyed that thing quicker, the Cry Wolves…): …: (…No, I shouldn’t resent him for that. From what I’ve heard, the Devil Gundam and DG Cells turned his life upside down as much as they did mine…)*Hugo leaves.* : Hey! Where are you going, Hugo?! I’m not done talking with you!: Do you know him, Domon?: No, I’ve never seen him before.: (Then what the heck is his problem…?)*Panicked running sound.*  : U-um!: Oh… Are you, perhaps, the pilot of that Dendoh?: Y-yes! Ginga Izumo!  : Is something wrong, Ginga? You’re shaking… : I-I’m just freaking out, OK?! The King of Hearts is right here in front of me!! : Hahah… So you want to meet him, hm?: …What do you need?: C-c-c-c… : Can I have your autograph, Mr. King of Hearts, sir?! I’m a huuuuuge fan of yours!: …: Why don’t you, Domon? We’ll all be working together, after all. : In that case, I needn’t do so.: Huh?!: If you’re also a martial artist, then I’m sure you understand. : My crest, the King of Hearts, has already been carved into your heart – as proof of us standing, and fighting, together as comrades.*Domon walks off.  : He’s so cool…!: Sorry, Ginga, he’s just shy. Giving autographs isn’t something he’s used to doing.: “Shy”…? That’s what it was?: Hm. I know how he feels, having been his partner for so long. : (A partner knows how the other feels, huh…?): (But that just feels impossible for Hugo and I…)
