About Red Baron

If you are hunting for a new mecha series, Red Baron (レッドバロン) deserves a look (1994). The setup goes like this. What the story covers: In the future, the "Metal Confront" games are the most popular televised sport in the world and many robot contestants compete for the title of Best Metal Fighter in the World. Kurenai Ken, along with teammate Saeba Shoko (who was, at first, adamant), pilots the Super Robot Fighter, Red Baron and enters the contest with dreams of becoming its champion.

From there, he has to, however, face an army of other rivals from around the world including Kaizer. the Tetsumen Tou ("Iron Fist" - a reference to the original Red Baron TV series) doctors, Tiger and ShinRon.

As a mecha title, robot design, combat scale and technical spectacle are the draw. Ken Kurenai (Kappei Yamaguchi) and Shouko Saeba (Rie Iwatsubo) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for fans of giant robots and large-scale battles. With 49 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Tokyo Movie Shinsha is the studio behind Red Baron, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Within the mecha category, robot design, combat scale and technical spectacle are the draw. With a 6.8/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Kappei Yamaguchi as Ken Kurenai, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 1994, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
