About Fighting General Daimos

Here is what Fighting General Daimos (闘将ダイモス) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, drama and mecha anime by Sunrise and Toei Animation (1978). The premise: The third of Tadao Nagahama's Romance Super Robot Trilogy. (#1: Chou Denji Robo Combattler V, #2: Chou Denji Machine Voltes V) After the destruction of their homeworld. Unfortunately, during the negotiations, the Barmian’s leader, Leon, is assassinated by his second in command, Olban, and the delegation from Earth is framed for the murder.

Further in, in the ensuing chaos, Doctor Isamu Ryuuzaki of the Earth delegation is shot and killed. Shortly after the disastrous end of the talks, the Barmians (called “Valerians” in Starbirds) begin a campaign of terror against Earth, lead by Leon’s son, Admiral Richter. The only thing standing between the Earthlings and annihilation is the transforming, karate-using super robot, Daimos and its pilot, Kazuya Ryuuzaki.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Erika (Miyuki Ueda) and Kazuya Ryuzaki (Akira Kamiya) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 44 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

The adventure focus matters here: exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Its 6.8/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Miyuki Ueda voicing Erika gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 1978, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
