Dallos English Sub & Dub

About Dallos

Here is what Dallos (ダロス) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, drama and mecha anime by Studio Pierrot (1983). The premise: 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 world to settle on the Moon. One of Man's greatest dreams has become a nightmare for those who have been compelled to live it out.

With action at the core, 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. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 4 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
