"From the first few frames I was intruiged. As the movie continued, I was hooked. This has to be one of my favorite anime series ever. If you like big vacuum tube run mecha fighting against improbable Nazi Super Science, then this is for you. Character developement is generally okay. Obviously it is strongest for our hero, but the supporting characters, particularly the pilots of the Kishin Corps, are well done. The story telling doesn't bog you down with massive exposition, instead it illuminates through snippets and rewards attention."
Classic, Epic, Anime story.. As good as Giant Robo

"This series reminds me a lot of giant Robo; the same anime style, the same type of sweeping, grand storyline. The plot, which takes place in an alternate Earth during World War II, follows the plight of a young boy separated from his scientist father, who is pursued by both a secret organization and murderous aliens! The very entertaining story involves some really good battle scenes involving trains, submarines and airplanes that transform into giant robots. All seven episodes are contained within this DVD collection, which is good because you won't have to hunt down all seven episodes separately. Enjoy."
