"Mecha+WTF+OMG=Dangaizer 3+ a hint of loli trash."

After craving for more I sought after the final volume of Dangaizer 3!

The story continues with the Dangaizer trio having just defeated one of DD's subordinates (with dramatic consequences!) and a for a brief 5 minutes - wait make that 15 minutes - is obviously an excuse for the creators to show off their leading ladies in swimming costumes. Not that I'm complaining much ;)

More revelations are revealed as we get to find out more about the enemy - that they are not as 'evil' as the viewer might have thought at first. There is neither good nor evil in the battle for dominance, but rather shades of gray. Interestingly enough a new player is revealed which shocks Hina to the core as it looks very much like herself! She is named Eileen 'The Angel Of Darkness' and is intent on destroying Dangaizer with her oh so superior robot that she keeps mentioning: 'Bloody Kazan'.

But not that we get to see much of it.

Infact, the OVA ends on an anti-climax: We don't get to see Dangaizer battle it out with DD or Eileen's Bloody Kazan although it is implied quite a bit! Maybe a bit of a disappointment to some who were expecting BIG Super Robot battles to finish this great OVA series but I found the ending to be fitting and open ended.

You are left again feeling there should be more - but the company's budget for making Dangaizer 3 probably ran out. :X

Just enjoy for what it's worth: Super Robot Mecha with a sprinkling of fanservice and action! A perfect combination together.

PROS
+ Revelations revealed!
+ Shoujo-ai!!
+ Eileen - she 0wns!

Cons
- Ending may disappoint some.
- Plot holes are left unresolved.
- There is not enough Dangaizer to go around! :x

RATING: 9/10

Very enjoyable mecha-fest!
