GaoGaiGar
I did a forum search and was ubale to find anything. Has this series been licensed or posted? I've yet to see the TV eps., but I am really looking forward to seeing the OVA. I just want to see this Lune Cardiff and try to figure out why my friend is crazy about her. Thanks.

Both the tv series and OVA isn't licensed yet in the US. I believe Anime in Action [aia] subbed up to ep30 for the tv series. As for who has subbed the OVA I don't know.

Currently we (AiA) have fansubbed till episode 32 actually. Just waiting on DVDs to arrive to continue. Now, to the best of my knowledge, once we finish TV, we'll be doing GaoGaiGar Final (Not much point in doing the continuation before finiahing the first one).
As for current releases of GGGF... The only one I've ever heard of was ripped Hong Kong DVDs, but that was a while ago, and I think they were only put on usenet. |
GaoGaiGar Appreciation Thread
GaoGaiGar is a favorite show of mine, and Anime-in-Action has been doing a fantastic job subbing it. There havn't been many threads about it, so now that episode 35 is out I figured I'd start my own. :)
The music is excellent, the animation is grand, and the story is far more engaging than such a light-hearted show deserves to be. Thank you, AIA for subbing this wonderful show. Also, Volfogg kicks serious ass. |
Agreed, I am in 12 episodes thus far and AIA is doing a great job, appreciation factor is high on this end :)

I've seen the series before, long ago when digisubbing wasn't nearly as feasable as it is today, but I'm loving it all over again. I can't wait until you guys in AiA get to Final, as I haven't seen that yet, but by all means finish the tv series first.
Apparently Takara either completely or jointly owns the rights to the tv series, Takara made the toy line that went with the show, and their demand is that the show can only be licensed if the toyline is as well. Bad business sense if you ask me, since if the show was brought over here a market for the toys would be soon to follow. Plus GGG could easily be turned into a television series over here. So yeah, the point is the show will most likely never be licensed. |

Currently, only two(that I know of) of the some 8 Space-Police series' have been re-released on DVD and that is Zettai Muteki Raijin-Oh and Hero Ex-Kaizer--supposedly the first series that started the Space-Police saga. The Raijin-Oh DVD Boxset is a monster 10-DVD box which houses all 51 episodes of the original TV series as well as four OVAs produced during and after the initial run. The price... 55000 Yen--count the zeroes--and I am so tempted to actually spend that much :heh: |

Exkaiser is yuusha too :heh:

Eldoran? And Raijin-Oh is not a part of Yuusha. The Yuusha titles are: Brave Exkaiser, Brave of the Sun: Fighbird, Legendary Brave Da Garn, Brave Police J-Decker, Brave Express Might Gaine, Golden Brave Goldran, Brave Command Dagwon, and King of Braves GaoGaiGar (as well as BaanGaan which only appears in the Brave Saga video games). As far as "ancient protector"s go, each series has a different setup for the robots. Some have ancient protectors, some are made by mad scientists, others by corporations. The spinoffs from the Yuusha titles are the Dagwon and GGG OVA's, Betterman (set in the GGG universe about 8-10 years after the series ends), and Brigadoon (set in the GGG universe about 30 years before the series begins). |

On the other hand, you are right--I'm been mixing the Yuusha series--which features self-supporting, sentient robots--with the Eldoran Series, which require pilots. It's no wonder as I watched Da-Gaan and Gunbalger almost back-to-back back then :heh: |

Can someone give me more information on how all these Yuusha shows are related? Are they just set in the same universe? Do they have certain characters that show up in multiple shows or are they all just based on a certain idea but don't have any real relation storyline wise? I'd especially like to know how Brigadoon and Betterman relate because I've only watched a bit of each but they didn't mean to have anything to do GGG except the fact that there's mechs in them.

Wahh! I finally finished downloading the last four episodes, and they're all excellent.

Cosmic Police?

Also, it's pretty important to note that "Brave Of Legend Da-Garn" is not the same show as "Brave Command Daguon". The former is a Captain Planet-esque show from 1992, whereas the later is a show from 1996 that is more like animated Sentai. They are, however, both Brave shows. -Jeff |
Actually, there are links between some of the Yuusha series, though tenative, in the form of cameos.
Spoiler:
So that's ExKaiser, Fighbird, Da Garn, and J-Decker all tied together, oddly enough through Da Garn. Might Gaine is plainly in its own universe though. I haven't watched Goldran so I don't know if there were any cameos there. As far as Dagwon, none stick out in my mind, but it's been a while since I watched it. And lastly I haven't noticed any cameos yet in GGG, but I haven't watched ahead of the fansubs. |

I knew I saw it somewhere and didn't just make it up when I mentioned the Space Police bit :heh: A detailed database may be found here if you can read a little Japanese: http://www.nbn.co.jp/anime-history/index_d.html |
