Amazon.com: Masato, the teen-aged hero of this 1988 sci-fi adventure, discovers he was a test-tube baby, created to pilot the enormous mecha Zeorymer. Fifteen years earlier, a renegade scientist stole it from the Hau Dragon Corporation. Yuratei, the head of the company, plans to use it and her other robots to conquer the world and become "Queen of the Underworld." Although she's apparently done nothing for 15 years, Yuratei wants Zeorymer back, and dispatches her henchmen in mecha to capture it. Masato immediately bonds with Zeorymer. Like Shinji in Evangelion, he initially balks at harming the human robot-pilots--then a sadistic alter-ego takes over who gleefully savages any and all opponents. As there are only four half-hour episodes of Hades Project, splitting them between two discs seems a bit chintzy. (Rated 13 and older, but more appropriate for over 16: violence, nudity, torture, sexual situations) --Charles Solomon
Big mechs As title says. good action for the time it was created. it was one of the ones that got me hooked . its been done but its still nice
I can say that its...nice, but not as nice as others... Simple plot, simple story, the entire series is so easy to understand. Also, the fight sequences are pretty pathetic as that there is no hand-to-hand combat, only high energy weapons. Another comment is on the imbalance of the factions, obviously Zeorymer is the strongest. Too little twists...too much wasted time...All of this can be summed up into 1 statement,"What a bore..."
giant mech action If you are a fan of big mechs and Japanese animation, then you might want to check this out. The story centers on a prototype mech that can only be piloted by a two person team, one who actually does the fighting and one who acts as the machine's power source. The other mechs in the film are equally impressive and are operated by thugs trying to get the prototype, zeorymer, back. This film is not in the same style as more recent titles like Ghost In the Shell, but if you like eye-candy, check it out. You might even be able to rent it at your local Blockbuster.
