Overview: (Animenfo
Website)
In the
future, age is not a factor to determine whether someone can perform a
certain task or not, but special talent and training. An organization,
Machine Robo Rescue (MRR), was established for robots and children to become
partner and rescue people from danger. Then 12 children with various abilities
were selected and introduced as part of this program: Robo Rescue!
Meet Oozora
Taiyou, one of the children who were chosen as a part of MRR program. After
being late on his first day of training, he went to perform a hot rescue
with JETROBO. However, a mysterious Robot from mysterious organization,
“The Star”(?), appeared before MRR team to interfere with the rescue. What
are the motives of the mysterious organization? And what are their goals?
Life as one
of the children chosen as part of MRR has started for Oozora Taiyou. Bumpy
and hard training is just ahead for MRR team in order to protect many people’s
life! |
Review:
Not to
be confused with the 1986 Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos, although some
of the mecha looks similar, maybe I'll look into that someday. Maybe
the series are related somehow.
I'm not
too sure if I like it it or not. The Mecha designs are good, the
characters are fair, the plot however leaves much to be desired.
They make these talking, living, trnsforming super robots, then it turns
out that only 10-12 year olds can properly pilot them, and they are not
using them to right evil. These robots are to work in high risk emergencies.
The ending credits and the show shows these 10 year olds fighting fires,
doing medivac, and rescue operations. Maybe. it's just me but these
seems something to be very, very wrong in that.
The cast
depite the young age of most of them (and one being a talking dog) are
fairly good, each one with thier own problems and personality conflics,
you know if these chraters were maybe a bit more mature and ten years older
is might just work.
Most of
the mecha is good (Although CG. What, people can't draw mecha anymore?)
There are four main robots and each one has four back up/assistant mechas
when can combine with the main one to become a bigger robot. I have
seen three of the four, Jet Robot (a jet) has four smaller jets,
Police Robo (a police car) has four motorcyles, which makes sense. But
then, Fire Robo (a firetruck) has four amulences! and you just tell that
they are female. That is just strange, the designer must of had a
bad lunch or something.
Then we have the enemy, we have this kid who for some reason interupts
our young heros by sending robots called "disasters" and they are round
balls that transform into similar looksing monsters, then Machine Robo
creates a "zone" which is a self-contanted area to fight in, however for
some reason the area inside the zone is much larger than the zone on the
outside and it almost always looks like a studium, and as far as I can
tell the kids don't pilot it in battle.
I'm none too sure if I will try to watch any more or not....and what is
with the peom after battle? |
