REIDEEN.

I used to think that stories of high school students piloting mechs and fighting monsters were found in mangas. Surely it could not happen in the real world! Then how is it that I am in a one now?

Perhaps I have confused you so let me start from the beginning. My name is Junki Saiga and as of today morning I was still you normal and ordinary high school student. That's right up till today morning there were no giant robots in my life.

I got a call in school from home, saying dad's things had been found and we were needed to positively identify them at the police station. My dad has been missing since I was little. He is, I mean was an archeologist. He disappeared in one of his digs ten years ago.

Mother, me and Kuruka, my little sister take a drive up. Hopefully we will be able to finally say farewell and give closure to this chapter in our lives. At the police station, mum sees the wedding ring and in a tearful voice positively identifies dad's belongings.

The police officer drives us to Kurokami Mountain where his remains were found. I enter the cave. Maybe I'll better understand him that way as I don't really see him as a brilliant archeologist but as a father who was hardly there. Maybe I'll be able to... wait a minute what is that there? It seems familiar. Something is calling me. I can see it; there is a mech, no two mechs. One a brilliant gold and another black.

I open my eyes and find myself in a tent. Wasn't I in the cave a moment ago? What! I fainted. It's that dream again. What is this in my hand? A golden bracelet, Reideen.

A comet comes crashing down into the nearby dam. A giant mech appears. It starts coming our way. Quickly we must leave the mountain as the dam has also burst. We run towards safety, to the helicopter but I forgot dad's things, so I ran back to get them. I won't make it in time. The water from the dam has caught up with me. I am engulfed in a sea of water. The bracelet glows golden. Fade in, I say and moments later I am in the great warrior Reideen minus my clothes. My clothes! Why am I naked? I can see without my specs! My hand, when I move it so does the hand of this mech.

The mech from the comet approaches me. It punches me and shoots at me. Idiot! What are you trying to do! Don't you know that hurts? So why do I find myself in a giant mech?

Note: Based on the original "Yuusha (Brave) Raideen" TV series by Yoshiyuki Tomino.

reideen = super slow battle animation

super slow ah?
haha...

issit super bored also? worth to give it a try?

the mecha move damn slow la... almost fall asleep watching it. hahaha.

the show is average la. dont expect uber plot or stuff like that. mainly 1 monster per episode.

HMMaster's advice taken....
not taking this anime into consideration

haha...i think i'll skip this anime also..probably just get it for the sake of collection only.

but i manage to finish the whole series

only the second half of the series starting to get better.

So-so lar -- not too good, not too bad. Still watchable tho.

But I prefer the bad guy with the alien cat and his mecha compared to
the main protagonist.
And the mystery regarding the hero's love interest seems to drag on and on and on and on... to reach a predictable conclusion.

haha onli so-so comment or boring one..haha i think most likely i'll skip tis one la.
