Dallos English Sub & Dub

About Dallos

Looking for background on Dallos (ダロス)? This action, drama and mecha series by Studio Pierrot (1983) starts out like this. 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.

As things develop, 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 pushed to live it out.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Alex Leiger (Shuuichi Ikeda) and Doc McCoy (Tesshou Genda) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 4 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Studio Pierrot, which means the visual identity of Dallos follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, 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. Voice casting, including Shuuichi Ikeda as Alex Leiger, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 1983, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
