GaoGaiGar: The ULTIMATE Super Robot... (that was FORGOTTEN) | King of Braves Exploration

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 13 гру 2022
  • GAOGAIGAR, more correctly King of Braves GaoGaoGar, is the last entry in the Brave Series, an alternative Transformers series by Takara and Sunrise. What sets GaoGaiGar apart from other super robot shows is the fact that after the first batch of enemies are defeated, the Zonders, the story starts to move forward and bigger arcs are established. And the best part is that there is no trace of cynicism in the dialogue and nothing is ever played for laughs.
    So my friends, I'm Absa, and in this video I'll try to explore how GaoGaiGar managed to make a formulaic monster of the week show into something absolutely entertaining and even inspiring, all while delivering some of the Best Looking Super Robots of the entire genre.

    I've about Gaogaigar during the late 90's though I never got to watch it back then (I don't think anyone has subbed it back then) until the early 2000's. I really enjoyed it and later followed it up with Gaogaigar Final. Yes, I too love the design for Genesic Gaogaigar that I managed to get the it's Super Robot Chogokin toy back then.
    If you're going for some Braves, I suggest look into Brave Police J-Decker. It's a fun show. For non-Brave stuff, go for series like Gunbuster, Godannar, Gravion, Reideen (70's original), Dancouga, Combatller V, Voltes V, Kotetsu Shin Jeeg.

    You should check out the 'prequel' of sorts called Betterman. It's more of a horror/kaiju series with a back story on par with Evangelion. One of the supporting characters became a supporting character in Gaogaigar, and the two leads appeared in Final. While not an actual mecha series, it is part of Gaogaigar, and a tangential part of the Yuusha series.
    Betterman actually aired on G4's anime block in the early 00s, so there is a dub floating around.
    Finally, there's a manga that ties the two series together, and has been partially scanlated.

    The Brave Series had a planned 11th series called Yuusha Seisen Baan Gaan (Saint of Braves Baan Gaan) which was SUPPOSED to become an anime, but instead got canceled, but became a video game instead, donning the name Brave Saga
    I cannot say this enough, but GaoGaiGar influenced the design of Optimus Prime from the anime Transformers Cybertron/Galaxy Force of 2005-06 in fact, one of my fanfic plans has Galaxy Convoy/Optimus Prime become a 10th yuusha/brave member (9th being Baan Gaan) in a similar fashion to the JLA

    As a resident of the UK with access to almost nothing but terrestrial TV while this was on, I had no idea it even existed. Then, last year Super Robot Wars 30 came out, with GaoGuyGar, GaoFighGar, and GaoGuyGo in it, along with King J-Der and Genesic GaoGuyGar. Sadly no robot fighters beside Goldion, but I was intrigued with that. So I watched the show. And... yeah. I could not stop watching until the very end. Hooked.
    On a side note, I got my hand on the RG GaoGuyGar kit just this week and, as someone who loves gunpla, I was very delighted to find out that all the Gao machines can be had seperate from GuyGar if you so wish. Or combined. They transform!

  • @ChaosKnight836
    @ChaosKnight836 5 місяців тому

    I especially love the progression of GaoGaiGar in terms of tech and meaning. Little spoilery, so beware.
    OG GaoGaiGar was developed based on data extracted from Galeon's databanks, which also lead to the development of the rest of the 3G'S arsenal and the self-aware Super Mechanoids. Aside from Galeon, it was all Earth-Tech, though. OG GaoGaiGar was the classic Defender of Earth.
    GaoFighGar was a result from a need for a new King of Braves after Galeon left Earth for the Trinary Star System and as such, pure Earth-Tech (and his Final Fusion Program was written by a genius 5-year old, to boot!). Though he lacked Galeon, GaoFighGar is in fact stronger than the OG GaoGaiGar.
    Then we have Genesic GaoGaiGar, the complete, original form of GaoGaiGar, preserved within the gargantuan G-Crystal, designed by Cain of the Green Planet, the strongest King of Destruction. Genesic, as in, a New Beginning, for that is what comes after Destruction.
    Then, in the novel sequel, we get Final GaoGaiGar, Genesic GaoGaiGar repaired after his stint as a Destroyer being controlled by Triple Zero. Now bereft of the Genesic Machines' AI, Final GaoGaiGar is piloted not only by Gai, but Mamoru, Kaido, Mikoto, Renais, as well as Betterman's Keita and Hinoki, each piloting one of the Genesic Machines (which includes Galeon). With each Genesic Machine being piloted by a different Pilot, Gai can focus on the fight, while his friends handle the gadgets and weapons.
    That, paired with fact that Final GaoGaiGar is piloted not by one, but SEVEN pilots, means that while pretty much everything from Genesic is carried over, Final GaoGaiGar is MUCH more powerful, since he draws on seven times the the Courage that Genesic had at his disposal.
    The name says it all, while Genesic was a New Beginning, Final GaoGaiGar is the one who will end the confilict Earth finds itself in.

    Y'know, people always talk big about Gurren Lagann, but I watched the movie compilation and it didn't quite grab me. It just didn't feel quite right compared to other mecha anime I had watched before that, namely this in particular. I will have to give the T.V. series a shot at some point to give that a fair shake, but I'm not sure how much my opinion will change, since my expectations were set much higher by the way that people talked about it.
    GaoGaiGar is 100% one of my favorite anime ever. I watched clips of it as a child, and then rewatched it fully twice, most recently in 2021, which only affirmed my stance on that. Gai stands as my second favorite protagonist ever, only surpassed by Haku from the Utawarerumono games. I genuinely only have one complaint, and that's the fact that the Zonders give me epilepsy in every episode that they show them off in their lair.
    I've got to get around to the rest of the Brave series at some point. If this anime is anything to base the quality of the rest of the series on, I think that they'll also be at least almost as good as this is. Also, if you like this, you might find Betterman to be an interesting contrast to this, since it's actually set in the main universe. It also makes some scenes in Final make slightly more sense, like what was going on with Mikoto in the last episode. The T.V. rerelease of Final, Grand Glorious Gathering, also does add more scenes featuring more characters and references to Betterman.
    I do also hope that the sequel manga featuring both of those series turns out for the better, considering that I think that the ending of Final was very self-evidently final. Too bad that the English translations for it are taking time to come out.
    Oh, also, give Nobuyiki Hiyama more shonen protagonist roles. No one does it like he does.
