Synopsis:

This series is set in an alternate WWII-era universe. The axis and allies are still there, but they are also fighting a race of weird white aliens that come from the sky.

In order to combat these alien nasties, the Allies made a team of giant robots. The baddies (Nazis and Japanese) are working on robots too, but their intentions seem to be more for mass destruction... The robots themselves are really neat. They are very different from the mecha you normally see (Gundams, GunBusters, Evas, etc.). These mecha fit in perfectly with the WWII era, all having big gears and valves and pistons and stuff on the inside. They all have giant generators inside that grind and spark and stuff. It kind of reminds me of Doc saying "It needs more jigawatts!" Trust me, these mecha are pretty neat to behold. The OVAs also have a VERY nice soundtrack. The opener is an awesome orchestral piece that sorta sounds like a train or something (fitting, because the first episode opens on a train). The timpani part sells it, with a rousing "chugga-chugga-chugga" riff.

There were some other nice songs too. There was one where this chick was singing about...like...toy soldiers dying or something. It was nice, trust me. I remember it being in English....I don't remember if it was playing in one of the subbed or dubbed episodes...but it did sound good, even if it was in English. This is probably a pretty confusing write-up. I'm sorry. Regardless, you should check these out. You just might be pleasantly surprised.

THIS IS NOT A DVD!!! THIS IS A 12" LASERDISC AND WILL NOT PLAY IN A DVD PLAYER
