Dai-guard has it all. it is very family oriented with giant robot. What more can you ask for. Unlike other giant robot or anime in general, there are no big breasted women or bloody scenes where people getting their body blown up.

Instead it keeps it all real and shows the aftermath of destruction and how fragile we all are. And the character development is extremly well with top notch animation (given it was aired on TV)

I was hooked to finish the series really quick. The ending is awesome. And from a sci-fi geek point of view, this series is even better. It actually explains why only Japan gets all the big bad monster rather than anywhere else. Watch and find out!

dont be swayed by the three star and under reviews given to this underappreciated gem.to tell u the truth i have not laughed this much durring an anime in a while( and i watch a lot of anime.)what truely sets this one appart is the undenieably lively and easy to get humor, sure it may get a bit dry but it is rare. futher more the giant robot battles sem to be a mix of old school mech design with new school animation techniques and directon. characters are not over the top like some of the other show out there and that is defiinitely a plus...............enjoy!

I'm pretty much guaranteed to love any big robot show, but Dai-Guard still suprised me with its quality. I bought this collection expecting something way over the top like Getter Robo, but instead I found myself getting caught up in a show with incredibly likeable characters, great animation, and a lot of heart. The show may be called Dai-Guard, but the show focuses just as much on the people and politics behind the battles.

Fear not, shoujo drama haters: Dai-Guard is free from overwraught tension. It also lacks the seriousness of stuff like Gundam. It knows it's a big robot show, and often times pokes fun at itself for being one, but between all the excellent robot action is a lot of great character scenes that you usually don't get otherwise. That human touch is what makes Dai-Guard special. The entire 26 episode arc had me hooked from start to finish.

Highly recommend for robot junkies who want guilt-free action and laughs, and generally recommended for anyone else who typically doesn't watch this kind of stuff but wants something different in their anime diet. For the price, you really can't go wrong with picking up Dai-Guard Complete Collection.

I've seen the whole series. It's definitely one of my favorites. It has a lot of the usual giant robot anime elements, but it's very different from others you may have seen. Ever wonder what it would really be like if a real company operated one of these giant robots? This anime presents that idea as this old robot is brought online, after a number of years, to combat monsters that start to appear and attack Japan. It has a good mix of humor and seriousness and is worth checking out whether or not you're just getting into anime.

Dai-Guard is a robot fighting alien anime. Beside the fightings, there are some unsolved problems exisitng in the characters. Lots of problems come up, then how can the characters resolve their own problems while desperately fighting the monsters in the story? This is the hightlight in this anime. It is realistic; the life in the story is just similar to what we are having daily. You do not find special power or intelligence in the robots, the pilots or anything else. I give it 5 stars because an ordinary background, characters and other components can lead to such a magnificient story in this anime production.

Dai-Guard is, quite simply, one of the most entertaining series to be included in the "Giant Robot" sub-genre of anime, and is loaded with laughs. While just looking at the title and picture, one may think its just a typical super robot show, it is, in reality, anything but.

In brief, the series is about a huge robot designed to fight invading monsters. However, this particular robot is entirely owned and operated by a private corporation, and is piloted by three of its office staff. Thus, the attacking monsters are just one of the problems faced by the protagonists, as they also have to deal with all the hassles and bureaucracies that come with working for any large company. The vast amounts of humor that comes with juggling two seemingly completely disparate activities, saving the world and dealing with office work, is definitely one of the high points of the show.

Much of the show's humor also comes from the titular robot itself. Despite looking like an archtypical Super Robot, Dai-Guard uses much more "realistic" physics than most other shows in the genre. Thus, the robot is slow, clunky, and a complete hassle to operate. Though it may look intimidating, the problems that plague the machine make it one of the most memorably inept robots to ever star in a series.

Though this does nothing to diminish the show itself, I would just like to mention that the actual quality of this box set was on the poorer side. My copy of the case itself seemed to have been poorly put together, and began to fall about shortly after purchase.

While the series may not have as many memorable, over the top moments as others in the genre, it is just plain FUN. It is sad that ADV's dissolution seems to have resulted in the series going out of print in the United States, but if you managed to get the opportunity to grab a used copy of the set, I highly recommend you take it.

Anime Lovers, Rejoice!!! Finally there's a anime series you can watch with you significant other, or even teens without the embarrassing nudity, sexual situations, strong violence or excessive profanity. It's Dai-Guard!

This is one of the few anime series I could actually immerse myself in. The characters are true-to-life complete with emotion. The situations seem almost realistic, and the comedy isn't really "cartoony". This is one of the best, under-rated and under-appreciated anime series out there. Please give this one a try...it will not disappoint and you can share it with the family.

I had this series for a few weeks and have found it be extremely entertaining.This series is a lot more comedic than serious but it still has some deep plots and a very humanitarian storyline.The story is mostly about
mysterious aliens known as Heterodyne who come on to our plane of existence
and cause untold chaos and destruction hence Dai-Guard was made to fight them but since the Heterodyne have not been seen for years Dai-Guard is retired and bought by a private security company as a advertisement for them.Then the Heterodyne suddenly appear again and Dai-Guard is needed to fight them but since Dai-Guard is now own by a civilian company it rest on the three untrained pilots to use Dai-Guard to fight the Heterodyne.The series well show you how these three pilots have to get use to not only piloting Dai-Guard and fighting the Heterodyne but also having to deal with the envious military brass who want Dai-Guard back under their command and the greedy chair-board of their own company who want to exploit Dai-Guard for their own uses.The set comes in full-screen
video and japanese and english audio.ADV films as usual has come out with some great voice actors for this series as well you have a cast of great voice actors for the japanese audio the picture quality and nice and clear as well so for this price I say try this series out you will nit be disappointed.

Has more of an americanized feel to it, but it is still a very good anime that will not bore you, I would call it a more kiddy evangelion. But still fun enough for teens to watch.
