Gekiganger 3 is not really an Anime. It is a fictional series, used solely in the Martial Successor Nadesico. In Nadesico, the otaku watch it all the time as a very old but good mecha series (Heck, it even becomes a major twist in the main story!). Gekiganger 3 functions as a tribute to all 70’s mecha series and is nothing more than a compilation of the clichéd motives they all had in common. So, do not look at this small series as a stand-alone, full story. You should consider it as a Nadesico side-story and a comical representation of all the stuff the old mecha series had that made them lame and yet memorable.
ART & SOUND SECTION: 6/10
Crap by today’s standards… but intentionally (you can clearly see the Nadesico characters watching Gekiganger as a film, to be drawn ok). The animators and music composers did their best to intentionally build a simplistic and old-fashioned atmosphere. So, expect to see every overused attack, scream and visual effect you can remember from Getter 3 and Mazinger. That is as far as it goes (and should go) in this department. Thus, an intentionally medium mark.
STORY & CHARACTER SECTION: 6/10
The same old scenario, all old mecha share: Alien invaders attack the earth and only a huge robot piloted by teenagers (a kind-hearted one, a mysterious type and a funny fat guy) can stop them. There is nothing wrong with a tribute series such as this (again, it is intentionally common and shallow). As a twist, there is a (supposed) stand-alone mission in the second part of the story, where an even more powerful race of aliens attack the Earth and the good guys team up with the bad guys in order to stop them. Again, it uses the scenario formula all stand-alone movies, based on mecha-series had: Better graphics, an alliance between good and bad, more romantic character interaction, new weapons and no ties with the main story. It is a masterful compiling of all you can remember from similar series. So, as a story it sucks but as a reference to the old mecha, it is great. Thus, an intentionally medium mark again.
VALUE & ENJOYMENT SECTION: 8/10
One of the best satires of mecha I know of. It is not as great as Titan Maximum but it still is an excellent add-on to the already great Martial Successor Nadesico.
VERDICT: 6.5 / 10
The accused is found … NOT GUILTY! … He is shallow, but for a reason.
Anime: Gekiganger 3: Nekketsu Daikessen!!

If you have watched Nadesico, you know what Gekiganger is. This is a great show to watch at a convention with a lot of people. I can not explain how cool it was to sing the opening theme and cry when Joe die with hundreds of other people. It not only makes fun of classic giant robot shows, but the movies as well. The first half is compilation of all the clips from Nadesico, while the second half is a new story. This show even has a camio appearence from the Nadesico crew.

11, female, , blue hairThe character has blue hair., brown eyesThe character has brown eyes., catchphraseA catchphrase is a sound, word or phrase commonly used by a person. That may be simply out of habit, or in an attempt to deliver some form of image, like that of cuteness. In fiction, characters often use catchphrases as a way to deliver specific personality traits., childA child is any person 3 to 12 years old. In everyday usage, babies (younger than 3 years old) are also children, but they are tagged separately; they should not be tagged child as well. Once a person becomes 13, they are an adolescent instead., hackingThis character is able to to gain illegal access to a computer network, system, etc., kuudereA kuudere may be cold and harsh at first glance, appearing unemotional and practical, but this is just a facade that protects their innermost, tender, delicate feelings. They avoid the tsundere`s combative and occasionally immature demeanor; rather, they are hard to approach because they are `cool`-headed: often cynical, casually blunt and dismissive. Not to be confused with dandere which is someone being quiet for its own sake, usually associated with shyness., quietCharacter remains quiet. In most cases, speaks only when spoken to., twintailsTwintails are type of hairstyle where the hair is gathered into two "tails" on either side of the head. Twintails may also include a pair hair buns, one bun at the base of each tail.

Genki characters are often slightly, or sometimes very, eccentric, and are filled with confidence and determination, regardless of whether they are competent or not; in fact, they often have little to no actual competence at whatever they generally do., long hairLong hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., optimisticAn optimistic person has a mental attitude reflecting a belief or hope that the outcome of some specific endeavour, or outcomes in general, will be positive, favourable, and desirable., purple hairThis character`s hair is colored somewhere between red and blue., very long hairVery long hair is hair from (and including) waist-length hair or longer., young adultSomeone is generally considered a young adult if they are between 20 to 40 years old.

18, male, , adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., broodingA brooding person tends to dwell upon matters moodily and at length, mainly alone., brown eyesThe character has brown eyes., brown hairThe character has brown hair., chefA chef is a trained professional cook who is proficient in all aspects of food preparation, often focusing on a particular cuisine., pilotThis person controls some kind of flying vehicle., teleportationTeleportation is the transfer of matter from one point to another, possibly a distant one, without application of force, and generally instantly. This contradicts scientific law as we know it, and is therefore nowadays impossible. Sometimes it appears as a paranormal or supernatural ability, and sometimes it is shown in science fiction through technological devices backed up by scientific laws yet to be discovered.
