  Densetsu no Yuusha Da Garn Is one of 8 Yuusha series and this series is the 3rd entry. I first entered the Yuusha Franchise by the popular series called GaoGaiGar and Yuusha Da Garn is the second series I watched. So far the Yuusha Series did not disappoint and were very enjoyable. The plot is about a young boy named Seiji who is choosen to be the leader and commander of the earth guardians (who in this case are super powered robots) to protect the world from Orbus a space pirate who destroys planets by stealing the planet energy. Story: The plot is episodic at first butthen it has an overall story that keeps developing. These Yuusha series are aimed at kids and the same goes with Da garn but it has its dark moments also. I believe the theme of the story for Da Garn was to protect the earth and to keep it clean, instead of destroying it like with pollution. The villains are memorable and are not as easy to figure out. The commander Seiji is faced with tough decisions on a constant basis and then has to face consequences of those decisions later on. The battles are not at an epic level as with GaoGaiGar but Da Garn has other stuff going for it that makes up for it.nnThe animation is done by sunrise, I think the anime looks like a mixture of Gundam and Transformers. I really enjoyed the Character Designs but I wasn't a big fan of the Robots designs except maybe one of them. Some of the background scenery was nice because the show would go to different parts of the world. nnnSound: I loved the opening song it is very catchy, I can't say the same for the ending song which I thought was annoying but some people might like it. The Seiyuus were impressive two of my favorites were playing two Rival Robots one being Da Garn and the other seven changer. The seiyuu for Seiji did a great job as well really added good humor to the part. The ending for the last episode is the opening of the anime sung by the cast which I really enjoyed and thought was a nice touch.nnThe characters are easily the best part of the show, you have the young MC Seiji who is mature and immature at the same time. He is on his own alot because of his parents busy work style life so he knows how to take care of himself, he also gets in alot of mischief but is looked out for by his childhood friend Hikaru who is always on her toes to keep him out of trouble. No one knows about Seiji's true identity of being a commander until way later so when he trys to hide this it has some very humorous moments. Seiji is also a very sarcastic and a funny guy he makes for a good mc. Alot of good supporting characters are in…

  Finished watching The Brave Fighter of Legend Da-Garn(8/10). I didn't like it quite as much as GaoGaiGar but it had a much better balance betweeen action, story and characters with some slice of Life segments that give some breathing room to flesh out the characters, which are all very likable and end up playing a big role in the history one way or the other. Except for the douchbag intteligence agent, fuck that guy. Now to wait till it appears in SRW, it's probably gonna have a similar moveset to Fire J-Decker, based around RNG attacks that cover a good distance to poke at the enemies.

  Densetsu no Yuusha Da Garn is the third installment in the eight-part Yuusha series. My journey into the Yuusha franchise began with the well-known GaoGaiGar, and Da Garn became the second series I explored. So far, the Yuusha series has consistently delivered enjoyable experiences without letting me down. The story centers on Seiji, a young boy selected to lead and command a group of super-powered robots known as the Earth Guardians. Their mission is to safeguard the planet from Orbus, a space pirate who plunders planetary energy, leaving destruction in his wake. Story Initially, the plot unfolds episodically, but it gradually weaves into a cohesive, evolving narrative. Likeother Yuusha series, Da Garn targets a younger audience, yet it doesn’t shy away from darker moments. The overarching theme seems to emphasize protecting the Earth and preserving its purity, contrasting with destructive forces like pollution. The villains stand out for their complexity—they’re not easily predictable, keeping the story engaging. Seiji, as the commander, constantly grapples with difficult choices, and the consequences of those decisions ripple through the series. While the battles lack the grand scale of GaoGaiGar’s, Da Garn compensates with other strengths that make it compelling.nnAnimationnnProduced by Sunrise, the animation blends elements reminiscent of Gundam and Transformers. I found the character designs appealing, though the robot designs didn’t quite win me over—except for one standout exception. The background scenery adds charm, with the show taking viewers to various global locations.nnSoundnnThe opening theme is a highlight—its catchy tune quickly grew on me. The ending song, however, felt grating, though it might appeal to some. The voice acting shines, particularly with two of my favorite seiyuus voicing rival robots Da Garn and Seven Changer. Seiji’s seiyuu also deserves praise, infusing the role with humor that elevates the character. A special treat comes in the final episode, where the cast performs the opening song as the ending, a delightful and fitting touch.nnCharactersnnThe characters are undeniably the heart of the show. Seiji, the young protagonist, balances maturity and childishness. Living independently due to his parents’ demanding careers, he’s self-reliant yet prone to mischief. His childhood friend Hikaru keeps him in check, always ready to pull him out of trouble. Seiji’s secret role as commander remains hidden from most until much later, leading to hilarious attempts to conceal his double life. His sarcasm and wit make him a standout lead. The supporting cast adds depth, like the neighborhood police officer whose patrol car transforms into Da Garn, delivering some of the show’s funniest moments. The villains are equally captivating, arriving from diverse origins with varied motives—some even experience redemption. Redlone, a relentless antagonist to the end, remains my favorite. One minor drawback is that while many robots appear, only Da Garn and Seven Changer receive significant development, though the others consistently demonstrate loyalty to Seiji.nnFinal ThoughtsnnI thoroughly enjoyed Densetsu no Yuusha Da Garn, largely thanks to its characters and their interactions. Surprisingly, the humor—despite the kid-friendly focus—had me laughing often and proved universally appealing. If you’re…
