Product Description
It is 2300 AD. 192 years after the world has united, "ORS" (Orbital Ring System) was built 300 km above the Earth. ORS functioned as the center of industries, and provide energy to the Earth. One day, unknown outer animals (or human beings?) attached and occupied ORS. Their next target was the Earth. To protect the Earth, the United Earth formed a special unit, called "Space Nights". During this battle, Space Nights saved one mysterious boy’s life. His name is D Boy who can transform into "Tekkaman Blade". He fought against the enemies for the Earth, and beat them one after another. But there is a strong enemy standing in front of him. This enemy looks just like Tekkaman Blade. What is a secret of D Boy? Why only he can transform into Tekkaman Blade? What is the enemies purpose of invading the Earth?

5.0 out of 5 stars Concluding volume to one of the all-time great anime series., August 22, 2007

By	Skeletor - See all my reviews

Here it is, the final volume of Tekkaman Blade, one of the greatest tragic anime series ever. Uncut, it provides the conclusion that fans outside of Japan have been waiting for for ages. This volume does not disappoint; after the fairly tepid second half of Volume 2, which is episodic and borders on having novelty episodes, we finally get a great concluding story arc that lives up to the promise suggest in the first half of the series. Some of the best episodes in the series are here, including Brothers of Light and Dark and the three episode finale, which ties up all the loose ends in a dramatic, action-packed ending that few series I've seen can match. The final battle between Blade and Evil is done absolutely perfectly, and allows you to truly feel for both characters. An additional plus here is the inclusion of the remaining two OAV shorts that have been near impossible to come by; Twin Blood/Burning Clock and Missing Link. Although these shorts themselves (in my opinion) are not great and really neither fit well into the continuity of the series nor continue it very well, they are nice pieces to have. Slightly weird that both of these are on the final volume, given the fact that there are three volumes and three OAVs, but one can't really complain about that. As with the other two volumes, the menu layout is user-friendly and the package design is fantastic (though it's worth asking why this is the only one to use a black background rather than white... but that's splitting hairs). If you saw Teknoman when it aired on UPN and liked it, or you saw the international version, you owe it to yourself to pick this up to see the true conclusion to this great series. Highest recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tekkaman Blade, September 5, 2007

By	Donald R. Silva Jr. "enjoyment" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have watched all of the early anime from Gundam 0083 to Captain Taylor and Tekkaman Blade (uncut) by far is one of the best older anime.

I highly recommend it to all anime fans. The story line flows well and the fight scenes are excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars A long awaited treasure, June 12, 2007

By	Richard McJordan "Oldest Otaku Around" (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

With the original Space Knight Tekkaman being done by Ippei Kuri, a very Gatchman style... it was very nice to see the retelling of this with updated armor concepts and while somewhat melodramatic at time, a very good story.

The anime is rather dated as typically there was more than one production studio working on a show, so every 3rd or 4th episode would have the same quality.

I loved the show when it originally aired and am glad to see that it's getting brought out for a new audience. Hopefully those who cut their teeth on Cowboy Beebop & newer titles can appreciate something a little older.

I say give it a shot!
