In the 22nd century, there are no longer any world wide wars. Instead, small scale wars break out all over the Earth. Meanwhile, a large robot appears who protects the weak. It is called "Dancougar Nova". Some even call it God.

However, no one knows the reason for its existence - not even its pilots.
Then, another robot, beyond anyone's expectations, reveals itself as the true enemy and begins its attack on the Earth.

Dancougar Nova retaliates against this enemy with a power that was kept secret until now.
Will Dancougar Nova be able to save the Earth? The prelude to this explosive confrontation rings out.

As a fan of the original Choujuu Kishin Dancougar series, Nova is a complete dumpster fire. It pretty much ignores the original story of Dancouga. They just used the premise of the Dancouga mecha and some of its abilities. For some of the mecha, they chose to use Mazinger and its brethren as a basis for ability ideas. as in a flying fist attack or a tornado type attack. The final episode was the worst, defiling the original show by claiming they were fighting the original Dancouga which looked nothing like the original, nor had the same abilities. It was just bad.
If they were to remove the Dancouga name from this series and sever ties to the original so that it was a stand-alone show it would be mediocre at best and maybe warrant a five overall rating. As part of the Dancouga line of series, I would give it a two or three at best.

I thought this series was a very good tribute to the original Dancougar from 1985. Rather than simply remake the series they took elements from it, mixed them with modern sci-fi and a touch of political critique and ended up with something I found quite enjoyable. The mech design was quite good again echoing the original though the character design left something to be desired and the background rendering in the last couple episodes stood out a little too much. The opening song is brilliant, something about the instrumental arrangement had me hooked right from the beginning and the ending song wasn't bad either though the "Dancougar Nova" theme which doubled as the cell phone ring of the crew became annoying after a few episodes. The story was a clever reflection of the original showing the slow development of the Dancougar pilots as they work their way to the final battle. Character development is, with 1 exception, decidedly lacking but I wasn't expecting a complete biography for everyone in a 12 episode series so I call it satisfactory. Keeping in mind that this is a tribute to the original Dancougar I thought it was very clever and I definitely highly recommend it to fans of the original. Yatte Yaruze!!

Animation
The animation starts very promising. However, the quality drops rapidly. It's so obvious at the end of episode 6 and you feel like watching a completely different anime, a worst one that is.

Sound
The OP song is nice, and that's the only good part in sound for the show. The rest remains either average or below.

Story
The story starts off rather awkward and very typical mecha show. It has a little comedy in it but not much.

Character
Different characters need more development. It seems like the story follows the characters rather than characters follow the story.

Value
Even if you can endure watching it after the first few episodes, it has no value for re watching.

Enjoyment
There are few moment of comedy that you can enjoy and that is pretty much it.

· nudityNudity is the state of wearing no clothing and exposing the bare skin or intimate parts. NO FRONTAL NUDITY (visible genitals) = 1.5 STARS OR LESS. Especially gratuitous fanservice shows tend to show their characters frequently without any clothes, though often hiding genitals through the means of additions like steam. +
· castno description set
· · strong female leadThe lead female character has a strong personality and plays a part that is not the typical damsel-in-distress role. This is the exact opposite of the “damsel in distress” tag. weightless
· actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting. **+
· speculative fictionSpeculative fiction is an umbrella genre encompassing fiction with certain elements that do not exist in the real world, often in the context of supernatural, futuristic or other imaginative themes. This includes, but is not limited to, science fiction, fantasy, superhero fiction, horror, utopian and dystopian fiction, fairytale fantasy, supernatural fiction, as well as combinations thereof.
· · daikaijuuLiterally translating to giant monster, daikaiju is an element found often in Japanese entertainment. Although usually for the science fiction genre it is also often used in horror, fantasy, mecha, and to a lesser extent comedy. Any monster that towers over a house technically qualifies as a daikaiju. Some anime, usually mecha, will go as far as calling their daikaiju with a specific title. weightless
· · science fictionScience fiction stories usually focus on how situations could be different in the future when we are more technologically advanced; due to either our own achievements or having met with other civilizations whom we have learned from. ***
· · · mechaMecha in Japanese basically means mechanical things; everything from an electric whisk or a car to a spaceship or a robot. Here however we limit it to the more exotic things usually referred to as mecha anime: robots, whether controlled by a human or not, and their ilk. ***
· · · · organic mechaAn organic mecha is a mecha that has organic tissue in its composition. The most prominent historical example is Neon Genesis Evangelion. +
· · · · robotA robot is an automatically guided machine, able to do tasks on its own. Another common characteristic is that by its appearance or movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own. Not to be confused with android (human-like robot). ***
· · · · · piloted robotPiloted Robots are, as the name suggests, robots that cannot control themselves; they need to be steered from somewhere, this can be from a human sitting inside or a remote controlled option. ***
· · · · · super robotThese robots tend to have almost semi-magical attacks, which seem impossible or non-realistic, and/or perform non-realistic transformation sequences where they seem to gain/lose mass and utterly change their form, even if it means making their super-hard armour bend like plastic sheets. **
· Japanese productionno description set weightless
· newNot based on anything, the story is a new work, usually made up by the people involved in creating the anime. Generally if an original work (原作) credit is given, it will be to the studio, or director, or other members of the production team. weightless
· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.
· · EarthThe Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is a ball of hot mud, but on the surface it`s cold enough, so most of us live on it (or are supposed to). To its inhabitants, our planet is their home, so, as a species, we cherish it to the point many cultures even to this day deify it. The Earth is the main setting of most fiction, but many titles are set in other places, such as unrelated fantasy worlds, and in a considerable number of fictional titles the Earth is actually destroyed by invaders. **+
· timeThis placeholder lists different epochs in human history and more vague but important timelines such as the future, the present and the past.
· · futureAnime that fall under the future category are the ones that have a society that could have originated from ours. In most cases it should go hand to hand with sci-fi since we expect the future to consist of advanced technology, however, in the case where it`s explicitly stated in the story that the anime takes place "x years into the future", the state of technology doesn`t matter as long as it`s long into the future. The anime can be set in an alternative universe not tied with our own, as long as it has a futuristic feel to it. This category sports quite a lot of anime, mostly stemming from SciFi, but not necessarily only from there. **
· multi-anime projectsMany anime are created as part of larger projects encompassing many shows without direct relation to one another. Normally, there is a specific idea in mind: for example, the Young Animator Training Project aims to stimulate the on-the-job training of next-generation professionals of the anime industry, whereas the World Masterpiece Theatre aims to animate classical stories from all over the world.
· · Super Robot WarsSuper Robot Wars is a series of tactical role-playing video games produced by Banpresto. The main feature of the franchise is having a story that crosses over several popular mecha anime, manga and video games, allowing characters and mecha from different titles to team up or battle one another. weightless
· TV censoringThe TV version is censored and later DVD/BD releases are uncensored, so the money-grubbing capitalists can make a couple more bucks at our expense. weightless
· disasterA disaster is a large-scale situation that causes great loss of or damage or threat to life, health, property, society, or the environment, irrespective of its source or cause. Disasters have substantial, long-lasting negative repercussions, and great effort must be spent in order to undo or mitigate their effects.
· · warAn armed conflict is the main theme or plays a large role in this anime. *
· militaryThe military, also known as the armed forces, are forces authorized and legally entitled to use deadly force so as to support the interests of the state and its citizens. The task of the military is usually defined as defence of the state and its citizens and the prosecution of war against foreign powers. The military may also have additional functions within a society, including construction, emergency services, social ceremonies, and guarding critical areas. **+
