About Combattler V

Meet Combattler V (超電磁ロボ コン・バトラーV), an adventure, mecha and sci-fi anime by Sunrise and Toei Animation (1976). Here is the premise in a nutshell. In short: The first of Tadao Nagahama's Romance Super Robot Trilogy. (#2: Chou Denji Machine Voltes V, #3: Toushou Daimos) Thousands of years ago. One group, lead by the scientist Oreana, landed on Earth, but was delayed from their mission.

Along the way, in the early 21st century, Oreana's group reawakens and begins their plan to conquer the Earth. The only effective defense against the Campbellians' giant biomechanical slave beasts is the super-electromagnetic robot, Combattler V and its pilots.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Miyuki Ueda as Chizuru Nanbara and Yuuji Mitsuya as Hyouma Aoi. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. With 54 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
