Dokkoida?! English Sub & Dub

About Dokkoida?!

Dokkoida?! (住めば都のコスモス荘 すっとこ大戦ドッコイダー) arrives as an action anime by ufotable (2003), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: The Galaxy Federation Police (GFP) desperately aims to cover-up its personnel shortage with new mechanized ability-suits. Suzuo, 19-years old, desperately needs a job.

Beyond that: Tampopo needs an earthling to fit the prototype of her company's suit and declares Suzuo the perfect candidate! Strong competitors and the wacky A-class criminals fight against our hero in diapers, but they has to not recognize each other out of costume or the test results will be a failure- but it's OK if they all live in the same apartment.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Suzuo Sakurazaki (Daisuke Namikawa) and Ruri Umeki (Rie Kugimiya) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
