Dallos English Sub & Dub

About Dallos

Dallos (ダロス) arrives as an action anime by Studio Pierrot (1983), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: At the end of the 21st century, Earth had to confront the problem of population increases combined with shortages in resources. Development of the Moon was seen as the way to solve the situation.

Along the way, the Moon's mineral resources reinvigorated the Earth and brought prosperity. However, the achievement of that vision proved painful for those who'd left their home realm to settle on the Moon. One of Man's greatest dreams has become a nightmare for those who have been pushed to live it out.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Shuuichi Ikeda as Alex Leiger and Tesshou Genda as Doc McCoy. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 4 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Studio Pierrot, so the studio's house style defines how Dallos looks and moves on screen. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.9/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Shuuichi Ikeda voicing Alex Leiger gives the lead role a recognizable voice. It aired in 1983, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
