08/04/2014 Starbirds is the North American movie smashed together using a bunch of episodes from the Japanese anime T?sh? Daimos. It is some classic Giant Robot anime that unfortunately didn't get much face time in North America. The story is pretty standard for this type of early anime. Alien race invades Earth for some reason, Earth builds or already built a giant robot. Somehow this giant robot helps Earth defeat the invading aliens. This particular mashup of cartoon episodes manages to tell the basics of the series and includes several giant robot fight sequences but when it comes to the "love story" it's really loose and not very realistic. They should have gone with a "really good friends" subplot instead. Starbirds isn't the greatest telling of the story from T?sh? Daimos but it's the only English language version available. Fans of old school giant robot anime should at least check it out but purists will likely stick to the original animated series and leave the dub alone. See more Read all reviews
