Of Voltes V and Tenchi Muyo - The Story of Daigan D.A.

What do you think will happen if you cross a “Voltes V” – like super robot epic and a raunchy bunch of “Tenchi Muyo”-like girls?

That’s what I did to my very own super robot story titled “Daigan D.A.”

It’s an epic adventure about super robots, sexy babes, evil monsters, mysterious energy beings, space crafts and zany antics.
Set in the advance world of space and robotic technology,
Daigan D.A. highlights the exploits of two sexy Daigan pilots called as “Daigan Ladies” and their unbeatable super robot Daigan D.A.

The story tells of Daigan D.A. a champion super robot and Earth Defender who fought against hordes after hordes of alien armadas.

Numerous alien invader fleet and monstrous evil empires fell before the victorious form of the super robot.

People would cheer, "Nothing can stand against Daigan D.A. The champion of the world… "

But suddenly, a new threat came marching in and put “Daigan D.A.” and the “Daigan Ladies” out of commission.

The new Earth defense group called “The Moon Base Omega” came and took over what was once, Daigan D.A’s turf!

Moon Base Omega is a multi-task Earth defense group equipt with massive starships, sleek fighters, particle cannons and cool mechs. The new group boast of being more efficient and had too many heartrob looking male personels.

Daigan D.A and its defense fortress called “The Sanctuary” was “moth balled”.

Worst, the two “Daigan Ladies” were out of job and was slapped with tons of manufactured cases enough to shove them out of the Earth Defense lime light!

But that doesn’t stop the “Daigan Ladies”;

After 10 years the Moon Base Omega had put the lid on the “Daigan D.A” group, But, the “Daigan Ladies” secretly smuggled the Daigan Cybernaut piece by piece with its “mysterious energy source”.

They reassembled a new “Hidden” Sanctuary,

just before a new horrible alien fleet tries to invade the Earth.

“Moon base Omega” could barely cope up with the war machines of the new alien invaders.

Suddenly, from an unknown source, “Daigan D.A.” suddenly appeared to save the day.

Instead of a thankyou note, Daigan D.A. and the “Daigan Ladies” were hunted down by the elite, space fighters from Moon Base Omega.

This is the start of my own super robot epic, “Daigan D.A.” funny, yet exciting.

I grew up in the midst of the Super Robot Era,
Mazinger Z, Daimos, Danguard Ace, Balatack, Mekanda, UFO Grandaizer,
then later, Voltron, Laserion, Bio man and the Transformers.

But of all these super robots, I am an avid fan of VOLTES V.

The animes of today are a lot bit different genre.

The shows are more populated by skinny, long legged girls in mini skirts, and effeminate looking male(?) characters, who seem to melt the hearts and logic of the female characters.

I do not like this kind of pathetic crap.

Even the so called "new generation" robot shows like "Macross", "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and the different "Gundam" series just wont do.

This so-called new reality in robotic stories seemed so lame.

I missed the time of the Super Robots, manned by Kung-Fuic bodied male characters and sexy ninja like female characters.

Because of this, I created DAIGAN D.A.

My very own super robot story thats based from the old genre of super robot shows.

Or I might say, the return to the more exciting old ways,
where giant, armored robots, patterned to that of U.S. super heroes, with their glossy colored armors of Red, White, Blue and Yellows. Battling against almost overwhelming foes from supposed inter planetary regions.

The clash of these steel titans seem larger than life to me.

With super psedo-scientific powers and a little touch of mild sexiness known to any Japanimation enthusiast that I think, had something to do with the raging hormones of adolecent fans of these kind of stories.

Daigan D.A. focus more on the struggles of the crew of the Earth Defense Fortress called, "The Hidden Sanctuary" (All of them are females) and the constant harrassment they undergo under the group known as "Moon Base Omega", a newly formed Lunar based, Earth defense station. (Manned mostly of male characters)

The mood of the story is of light hearted humor, as novice "Sanctuary" members try to struggle against the pressure of their duties and physical urges.

A bit twist from the occassionally serious VOLTES V.

And because of the "battle of the sexes format" of characters, Daigan D.A. commands an ensemble of funny, sexy and annoying characters.
