Daigundâ

This is a kid-friendly anime (PG). So don't anticipate a complex story. However, it performs its job effectively, and when I watched it years ago when I was younger, I became engrossed in the plot. At the time, I hadn't watched the most recent episodes and couldn't locate them online. I was able to finish the series around two years ago when someone posted the last episodes with captions to YouTube.

The narrative takes place in a made-up future in which robots compete in tournaments for amusement. The main character aspires to acquire the Titan Belt by competing in tournaments and become the Pokemon master. His grandfather was a scientist, and he inherited a team of robots from him. At first glance, it seems as though the plot ends there. Later on, though, it becomes clear that a villainous scientist is plotting to pilfer the technology driving Daigunder, the greatest robot ever. The narrative then focuses more on taking down this guy.

The fact that every robot is sentient and has a distinct personality is what makes it great. Like in Transformers, they can morph into different forms and have different fighting powers. They can even merge together to create even more powerful robots, like in Gurren Lagann.

Not bad for a 2002 anime, at least in terms of animation. They could have done better, in my opinion. However, that's the only critique I can locate.

Unlike Pokemon, the tale concludes completely in the 39th episode and feels finished. This is a decent choice if you're looking for a PG show. Every episode is available on YouTube.
