Dangard Ace

Dr. Oedo organizes a scouting mission, led by the elite young pilot Takuma (Winstar), to the rogue tenth planet Prometheus as it nears Earth. Approaching the planet in the superfast carrier Jasdam, the crew rescues Captain Dan (Captain Mask), who has escaped from the evil Commissar Krell. The captain assumes duties with the Dangard A robot team, ready to put them through the toughest training in order to save Earth from invasion. Based on an idea by Starblazers' Leiji Matsumoto (reputedly in answer to the giant-robot shows made by his fellow big name manga artists, Go Nagai and Shotaro Ishinomori) and Dan Kobayashi (who appears to have lent his own name to the show and to the heroic Captain Dan), 26 episodes of this series were shown in the U.S. as part of the Force Five anime compilation, and the first 2 episodes were rerereleased on video to capitalize on the new boom in anime. The characters also appeared in an episode made specifically for theatrical release in Japan called Dangard A: Great War in Space (1978). The series was reissued in an LD collection under the umbrella title of Leiji Matsumoto Theater.
