My pre-order with Entertainment Earth fizzled out....luckily I have enough air travel miles to go to Osaka this February. Both Yodobashi Camera and Bic Camera have stocks of SOC. As a tourist, I'll get a 5-8% discount by buying a subway pass 8^)

I already have the other two but I actually like the paint on this one even though its not anime accurate. One thing I don't like about the 31V is that the tank treads are too tall and I hate how they stick out too far back in combined mode but I know it's necessary for the tank mode.

i like honestly it will be a great first Voltes V in my collection i want to complete the romance trilogy They keep calling it Romance Trilogy but shouldn't it be a quadrilogy? Why isn't Daltanious included? Maybe Nagahama wasn't completely involved in the making of the last anime? Don't know. I mean, Combattler's in there, Voltes is in there, Daimos is in there. Why not Daltanious? It's the only one I watched out of the 4 (for now) but from what I heard about the other 3, it shares lots of elements and aspects with them, specially story-wise. So, shouldn't Daltanious be part of the trilogy/quadrilogy?

Just that it was not the usual highschool-variety romance thing. More Frenchy romance than Italian or English romance. Was quite deep and extended idealistic variety, and it's not even within the team members themselves. Iirc, the most obvious of which was between the anti-hero and his consort.

The term was used again for Nagahama's works because they were something atypical for SR shows at the time. I mean, what did they have before? Mazinger Z, Getter Robo, Jeeg, all shows which followed a "monster of the week" formula, quite repetitive (and that's part of their charm, tee hee). Then along comes Combattler V and Voltes V, shows with a story to tell, values and morals to teach, just like Daimos did. And Daltanious too. I still got to finish Daltanious (9 episodes to go) but I can safely say that there are deep differences between the SR animes of the early-to-mid 70's and Daltanious, at least story-wise. It's probably the same with the other shows from the trilogy as well.

If I remember correctly, Combattler, Daimos, and Voltes also were a "monster of the week" cartoon, just like all the rest. The ones you mentioned, Mazinger Z, Getter Robo, Jeeg, also had a story to tell. It was about the bad guys trying to take over the world, and the heroes stopping them. Again, just like all those anime - with one exception (of the ones I've seen). Yes, as much as I dislike Gunbuster, I think that one had a different and unique storyline. Unlike all the others, which at the end, all lead to the Monster Of The Week fight. }D

Please correct me if I'm wrong on that. I've never seen combattler but I'm pretty familiar with the other 2 and they both pretty much had subplots that would be considered adult themes. Voltes v's was deep enough that a government thought it could incite dissent and banned it.
