You can just sit back and enjoy watching the kids bond with each other, having fun and see them fight without needing to worry if one of them will die.

They took some serious efforts to make the adult side characters as sexy as possible without touching the border of ecchi-land.And of course there is a beach vacation to show off their swimsuits and even 2(!) Onsen episodes. Don't know how they got the Dead or Alive body physics into this :D Quality control did a good work there.įor a kids show there is a surprising amount of boob jokes and skimpy outfits, like really short race queen costumes or even shorter panda costumes to promote a panda. There is also enough punch when they shout their battlecries, catchphrases and attacks. The female voices are strong and not a single case of stereotypical meeky-girl-voice-syndrome, too. I haven't found a single one I was annoyed by. The voices are good and are really fitting for each character. I skipped the first two and really digged the third one.Īll of the songs are typically kids songs. The first two songs are very generic, but the third one, the festival dance, is very catchy. All of them involve the Gyrozetters dancing in different choreographies. The Endings: There are 3 different Endings. It wont annoy you, but it won't blow you away either. The song is catchy enough to carry the 51 episodes, though, if you like the style. The Opening: There is only one opening song for 51 episodes with two generic videos for it. I at least have seen way worse examples than this. Unless you hate CGI with a passion you get used to it. The fights are good choreographed, but because of the CGI it loses some of its punch. *Some* still-frames, not that much detailed backgrounds and the CGI-mechas. Or just makes them cuter.īUT you can see where they cut corners to make an extra buck. Each emotion is conveyed convincingly and emphasizes the characters. The highlight are the facial expressions. Everything as expected as from the experienced bunch from A-1 Pictures. Clear style with bright/vivid colors, strong contrasts and good proportions. There is a surprisingly high production value, in comparison to other Shounen titles of this time at least. Each character is distinctive, interesting to look at, sexy or just adorable, without going over the top. They are like the less goofy Team Rocket. All of them have redeemable character traits that makes them the clear antagonist, yet you sometimes just have to root for them. No 'evil for the sake of evil'-BS and no 'I'm evil so I have to behave like a dick'-types either. The villains on the other hand are well made, likeable and most of them have nice backstories. The strong points are their cuteness, the relationships and friendship they are forming. Character progression equals the bonds they are forming, in this case. Sounds like nothing much, but its enough to not getting them stale. E.G: The hot-headed protagonist sometimes is sensible, the smart guy gets hot-headed instead and the dopey girl, who gets lost all the time, has the best idea and saves the day. Although there are quite some amount of tropes involved, they also break them up a bit by shaking up the formula. The main cast of characters are mainly adorable kids. If cuteness and relaxing Shounen battles are what you get off to, this is perfect for you. If a convoluted story is your fetish, you will be dissapointed. In short: The story is the weak point, but there is enough to keep you going. I will not delve further into them here because this is a spoilerfree review after all. While all of that sounds super generic, they do occasionally break up the formula with *fresher* ideas. Inbetween they are doing cute things, have fun and shout about the power of friendship while they fight of the mechas of Xenon once per episode. Pretty sure ExxonMobil and other oil companies are the inspiration for that. Keep that in mind before you ask yourself why the high scores and recommendation.Ī bunch of kids are the 'chosen drivers' of the Gyrozetters, cars that can transform into mechas, and they have to save the world from the evil organisation Xenon, basically World War 3, which is prophesied on the 'Rossetagraphy', and evil corporations. This review and the scores are in comparison to other Shounen titles and kids shows, not common masterpieces.
