I was so looking forward to this DVD. I watched as much of the Teknoman series as possible until it was taken off the air. In Tekkaman Blade II, I found the characters to be highly unsympathetic, espcially Yumi who seemed to be endlessly giggling or suffering the angst of unrequited love. The only 3 characters I cared about were David, Dead End, and D-Boy. The original series drew me in with a fasinating storyline and believeable characters; I cared what happened to the characters, whether they lived or died. I was crushed when the series was taken off the air and am still searching for a place to buy it. So, in short, if you are thinking of buying this because you loved the original series, don't. In this case the sequel does NOT live up to the original.

Ok since I've read the other reviews I thought I write one, and make things a lot clearer.


First off the reason why Tekkaman Blade 2 is so different from Teknoman is because it's the original UNCUT version. And since it's the original version - all of the character names and even the title is different.


Teknoman as most people would call it was once on UPN many years ago. Teknoman is a awfully EDITED version of Tekkaman Blade. Tekkaman Blade is the original title. Also many names of the characters were changed for the edited version. When Tekkaman Blade was edited to Teknoman- many footage was edited out. This ruined the show. Tekkaman Blade wasn't ment to be edited.



Tekkaman Blade 2 stayed to the original, and is by far 100 % better then Teknoman. Or I should say Tekkaman Blade and Tekkaman Blade 2 are better then Teknoman.

Sadly there is no way to see Tekkaman Blade (Teknoman) uncut. So there's only Tekkaman Blade 2.

The series expand from the first generation of Teknoman, which was really good. The problem is that it is very short. Their biggest enemy is one Teknoman that defeated Blade and it concentrates on that one person. There is a lot of room for improvements. Seen it once and 9/10, I won't see again, it's more of a Japanese film with this one. Characters are goofy and do goofy stuff which didn't have that in Teknoman. If you're a Teknoman fan, go for it, but if you love Teknoman with a good story, to hell with this one.

Teknoman on tv is one of my favorite shows. Tekkaman blade II is suppose to be ten years later. But their was errors in tekkaman that is not the same as teknoman.
1. the white teknoman had pegus not the female they did not say how she got it.
Tekkaman is good but teknoman was better in my view. I hope one day soon to see the original on dvd.
I think of them as two fine and different show.
The action is good the story is not as good as teknoman.
I link the improved weapon the teknovolter (sorry about the spellng). It is cool.
I Would like to see more of this series so we can see how all of it happened, but if you take this is new you can enjoy it.
It is worth getting for the action. The story of black sunday is cool as well.
Lets all e-mail as many people as we can to get teknoman on dvd.

It can be a bit confusing if you haven't seen tekno-man (at least when watched in Japanese). Not all the old characters names are mentioned, so you are left wondering who they really are. The character Yumi Francois is the typical air-headed squeeky girl cluts who just happens to be one who gets all the power. If she was not in it I would find it a much better show to watch. It improves when Dead-end enters the story, but it has an anty-climax in only being 6 episodes long. The creaters could have really taken this places. Pitty. :/

To those that were fans of Teknoman a few years back I gotta say the show doesn't even live up to that. To others that saw Tekkaman Blade in full , don't even think of buying this garbage. ...the Tekkaman designs looked pretty fruity and the entire thing came off as one big power rangers... Really I can't put into words how much I really hate this OVA considering the potential it had , it really comes off as no surprise that after this Tekkaman Blade faded into obscurity in Japan.

All the characters in this anime are a bunch of annoying **icks, particularly Natasha. The original Tekkaman Blade, you felt the characters, you understood them, and the story was so deep. Tekkaman Blade II is nonsense, it's just more mech battles and about a military tekkeman academy. There was little point in why they were fighting other than your typical revenge, save the world crap. It gets repetitive, a lot of the characters become **icks especially Star, who makes a return as cheif of the tekkaman academy.

Probably best known to Americans as TEKNOMAN(one of the first anime series to be broadcast on an American network), this 6-episode OVA takes place 10 years after the original TEKKAMAN BLADE television series. The alien forces of Radham have begun another assult on Earth. Now however, a whole division of Tekkaman fighters have sprung up ready to defend the world with their amazing power armor. One recruit into this new army is Yumi, a mechanic who accidently acquired the awesome power of the Volteker Reactor. But with rivalries within her fellow fighters, the advancing alien hordes, and the return of the original Tekkeman, Yumi has her work cut out for her. The animation here is a little better than the original TV series, plus it doesn't suffer from all that awful "edited for television" butchering job UPN did. It doesn't hurt if you have seen some of the TEKKAMAN BLADE series, or even TEKKAMAN KNIGHT(the original anime), but there is still a good amount of action and fun to make most anime fans hungry.

I don't speak english very well so please forgive me.I am from Puerto Rico and i recently buy the original version of Tekkaman Blade uncut with all 49 episodes and in japenese audio with english subtitles in a small video club I don't know how they founded but I must say that is much better than Tekkaman Blade 2.If you want to see how the story continues it's okay but don't expected to be as good because is weaker in a lot of aspects like the plot and the colors are too pink.The original is much more dark and the story is a lot better.

For those of us who saw "Teknoman" on UPN 11 years ago (yes is has been a while), or the original Tekkaman Blade, Tekkaman Blade II comes as a great addition to the series. I highly recommed it to anyone for their anime collection (especially for fans of Guyver and Evangelion).
