VHS Movie Reviews of Grandizer Robot [VHS]
Movie Review: good old school anime but bad dubbing
Summary: 2 Stars
Grendizer, created in 1975,76, is propably the most popular Japanese animated show on the planet. It had some sucess in it's native land, but the show really took off when it was sold overseas to many countries(I think France was the first to buy the show's rights). It made an insane amount of money for creator Go Nagai (Devilman,Cutey Honey) and Toei Animation (Sailor Moon, Mazinger Z)and It's propably still airing somewhere as we speak.
Although Grendizer is based on the Go Nagai's popular heroic robot manga series, the animated version looks far superior in comparison to the comics. for one thing the show looks more realistic (very similar to the groundbreaking gatchaman series that aired a few years earlier). Toei animation propably decided to dump Go Nagai's cartoony style and went for something more mature more serious in tone.
As popular as grendizer is, it failed to make a real dent in the north american market only gainning a small cult following. Under the title Force Five and a poor english dub the show didn't really catch on. From what I've heard only 30 episodes (of the 76) were to be aired. these factors are good enough reason to see why the show had such a hard time getting good ratings.
This english version is available in vhs casette; only the first two shows in ep playback though.(an earlier casette had two more episode on top of the others) these cassettes are really hard to find so good luck if your interested.
Recently, two beautiful dvd box sets of the show were released in japan that are now sold out( they were limited editions). these are very expansive (500 dollars canadian for one box) on top of that you'll need region free dvd player to play them and there are propably no english subtitles.
