Armored Trooper VOTOMS: Difference between revisions

''[[Armored Trooper VOTOMS]]'' is a 52-episode [[Anime]] series that ran from April 1, 1983 to March 23, 1984, directed by Ryosuke Takahashi. It is divided up into four separate arcs, each one with their own unique mood and setting. Several additional VOTOMS [[OVA|OVAs]] have been created, such as the ''Pailsen Files'', set before the events of the main series, and the ''Heretic Saints/Shining Heresy'', set 32 years after the events of the series, as well as several other [[Short Anime Movie|one-shot OVAs]] detailing the life of Chirico Cuvie, the series protagonist. A spinoff, ''Armor Hunter Mellowlink'', was also created; it is set in the same universe as VOTOMS, but involves an entirely different cast of characters.

 

* [[Absent Aliens]] - Although we do see some subspecies of humans, like the Quentmen and the purple-skinned Nor Barcoff from Pailsen Files.

* [[Ace Custom]] - Considering how simply designed an average AT is, it isn't a surprise that quite a lot of individual mods exist. Most notably, there are the Turbo Custom, Red Shoulder and Burglary Dog derivatives of the regular Scopedog made and used by Chirico. Subverted in that they break as easy as normal [[A Mech by Any Other Name|ATs]] and the difference is usually a bunch of extra guns strapped to it.

* [[Born Lucky]] - Mellowlink. Although he has some pretty cunning tactics [[Batman Gambit|and prepares]] [[Crazy Prepared|for the worst]] when he can, many times he survives his fights simply because fortune favors him. {{spoiler|Also, one of the more important factors for Red Shoulders and Abnormal Survivors is luck, or at least Pailsen believes so.}}

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] - Coconna

** While it does indeed stand out when compared to the rest of the show's animation, at the same time the CG itself has some quite fluid animation for the Armored Troopers, especially in servo and joint manipulation.

* [[Cool Old Guy]] - Gotho, in spades.
