Together with the Pandora dream team of Queenie Yoh and Doug Horvat, the trio must pilot their mechs, with their souls beaming across the time-space mechanism that gives the mechs power and push back evil forces to maintain what's known as the "Last Hope" of mankind. Formerly a scientist working on the time-space mechanics to maintain mankind through the quantum reactor (which is mainly used to regulate time-space control), his ambitious work came with a high cost, one that would take a long period of time to assimilate the full extent of the damage that is the Neo Xianglong crisis.įast forward some years after the crisis, and Leon Lau is called back from exile to help the city of Neo Xianglong (after the rebuilding) to combat the events that have once happened with his major blunder, and also to deflect the evil forces that have culminated to this day, just to see mankind perish under their egoistic dreams and ambitions to see a new breed of mankind under the control of B.R.A.I. or much rather, the B.R.A.I, which are machine-made beasts made out from the cause of biological evolution, was spearheaded from an unforeseen explosion by one man who goes under the name of Leon Lau. Juushinki Pandora is set in an alternate universe where human beings and AI, To be fair, the honest takeaway is Shoji Kawamori's mech designs which still look good.at the expense of other areas of the show that quite honestly, isn't a good sales-pitch anymore going forward. Shoji Kawamori, the creator of the much beloved Macross series of the 80s and 90s, has created another flick to his name, the latest project called Juushinki Pandora, an omage to his works of past of the sci-fi-mecha genre which as of late, has seen much flack due to the many issues with his directorial work. I'm not sure if I'd watch it again, but I certainly enjoyed tuning in for it every week. It can get serious at times, but it never forgets to give its audience a good time. But she's cute, so who really cares? I sure don't.Įnjoyment - I feel like the best way to describe this show would simply be "fun". I could see someone making an argument for how Chloe was underused in the plot. Sound - The soundtrack is serviceable with a few noteworthy songs thrown in during important scenes.Ĭharacter - In this 26 episode show, every character is given some time for development, and I found them all to be likable. The animation is pretty decent for the most part, although I noticed a few problems towards the end. I personally thought it looked fine, but I could see someone calling it overkill. However, there is also a plot that is actually pretty interesting, and it does sort of manage to work in the backstories and motivations of our 3 main heroes: Leon, Quinny, and Doug.Īrt - I think the most memorable quality of the art is how colorful it Story - This is a show about a genius scientist and his pals fighting monsters and bad guys with crazy science powers. So once again here I am, writing a review for a show that I really liked and almost nobody watched. I've always had a soft spot for shows where some nerdy guy suddenly becomes an action hero.
