Dallos English Sub & Dub

About Dallos

Dallos (ダロス) blends action, drama and mecha by Studio Pierrot (1983). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: 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 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. This one is best suited 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

Studio Pierrot is the studio behind Dallos, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 5.9/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. 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.
