Description In the distant, Earth is under attack by an alien race known as the Radam. Earth's technology is not advance enough to stop the aliens, and they have taken over the Orbital Ring from which all human space flights are launched. Now, Earth's ecosystem is slowly beign changed, and soon, the Radam will attack earth itself. Only one man can stop the Radam. His real name's a mystery even for himself. He's know by two names, however: D-Boy (Dangerous Boy, as named by the Space Knights) and.... Tekkaman Blade! (part of this description was taken from "V*Max" magazine.)
Comments As is common with must America edited animes, Tekkaman Blade was edited and renamed teknoman and showed for a brief time on US soil, never achieving high enough ratings. I've heard the series didn't made a full run of all it's episodes when it was pulled off the air :(. However, the show (Teknoman) was exported to other countries, like Latin America, where it was run from begining to end. the show was aired in Puerto rico but I was never able to tape evrything. On top of that the visual quality of some of the episodes I have is TERRIBLE due to a bad connection between my VCR and the Cable V cable! Back on the subject. The series was Ok for me and it's a shame not everybody shares my opinion. I've grown to tolerate American dubbings for TV but what upsets me is the fact that no company bothers to bring the original version of the series on any format, heving one to rely on bootlegs in raw Japanese in order to see what's missing from the original show.
