About UFO Senshi Dai Apolon

UFO Senshi Dai Apolon (ＵＦＯ戦士ダイアポロン) arrives as an action anime (1976), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: The story is about 16 years old boy Takeshi who recently formed an American football team at the BlueSky orphanage. One day the game is interuppted by a light in the sky.

Also worth knowing: Takeshi finds out he is the son of the king of the planet Apolon, spirited away to Earth by his father's retainer Rabi to avoid death at the hands of General Dazaan. He turns out to have special energy abilities which can control UFO saucers from under the ocean floor, which in turn can become robots that are synchronized to their movements.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Takeshi (Akira Murayama) and Matsuo (Sachiko Chijimatsu) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Akira Murayama voicing Takeshi gives the lead role a recognizable voice. It aired in 1976, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
