What can i say about Tekkaman? It truly is one of the classics, while Stage II is not as good as Stage I, it still grips you and makes you want more. Now if only the blasted things would come out on DvD! If anybody knows when, tell me!

This is actually the first real mecha anime I saw, and it's not bad. The plot in this 6-episode OAV series focuses mainly on a large war between the Tekkaman and the Radham space armies, but throws in a few sub-plots involving romance and friendship, making the story appeal to a wider range of audiences. The first three episodes mainly focus on background and character development, and the characters didn't strike me as very likable. Despite the extra fan service scenes, these were some of the less exciting episodes. The series becomes much more exciting in the second half, where a mysterious armored antagonist leaves Tekkaman Blade in near fatal condition. One of the space knights, David, unknowingly befriends the enemy in human form, and both of them are surprised when they learn who the other is. The enemy, Dead, is trying to recreate a horrible massacre from the past which he can't let go of. His wish is that his new friend, David, will kill him in the process so that he can accompany his dead comrades. This leads to a few exciting and powerful events, such as the part where David and Dead stand over the face of a large clock, and David's blade is an inch away from Dead's neck. The clock chimes on the hour and David can't seem to make the final decision about Dead's fate. Scenes like this are what anime is all about.

There are some flaws which definitely detracted from the series, though. First of all, numerous scenes that are supposed to be dramatic are accompanied with corny lines that ruin their overall effect. They could have used a cool line in more than one place. Also, in a few major battles, the explosions are so huge and numerous that I couldn't tell what ... was going on until afterwards when the characters said what actually happened. Both of these problems wouldn't be such a nuisance if they didn't occur so frequently. Even with these problems, Tekkaman Blade shoots right back up with its excellent soundtrack. The opening and closing themes are powerful and energetic. Any fan of mecha will want to take a look.
