( Three Title Clips From Anime Of The Awesome Eighties Behind This Cut! )
The Matinee is the title sequence of Super Robot Galatt, which was among the first "Super Deformed" shows and which followed the equally tongue-in-cheek Daitarn-3 in its time-slot. And it's a good idea for a series. In a future Earth in which a world government has banned private ownership of weapons, a mad scientist receives aid from good aliens who want him to arm Earth against an invasion of evil aliens. So he builds some bizarre little robots who look absolutely harmless. But when the bad guys show up, the robots transform to B@d@$$ Mode with the help of their pilots and save the day.
The second of our Triple Spin is Galvion, an obvious thematic stepping stone for Artmic, which went on the following years to make Bubblegum Crisis, Gall Force, and Megazone 2-3.
The nightcap is Dorvack, which could have been another chapter to Robotech if Carl Macek had been paying attention at the time.
More to come, I hope!
