Description:

Most mecha teams fight just mechanical and alien enemies; for Dai-Guard pilots Shunsuke, Aoyama, and Ibuki, contending with the monstrous Heterodynes is the least of their problems. The Army is still quarreling with 21st Century Defense Security Corporation over who should control the giant robot. There are endless forms to fill out after every battle and office politics to deal with. And everyone complains about what it costs to maintain Dai-Guard. Like the Angels in Evangelion, the Heterodynes take different forms: the three pilots have to combat monsters that resemble everything from mushrooms to Mylar balloons. They're aided by Domeki's discovery of how the Heterodynes replicate and Shunsuke's efforts to humanize the arch-disciplinarian, special agent Shirota, but these innovations can be used only against the monsters. The off-beat mixture of comedy and sci-fi adventure in Dai-Guard will please otaku in search of laughs. (Rated 12 and older: violence, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon
