Heavy Metal L-Gaim: Difference between revisions

''[[A Mech Byby Any Other Name|Heavy Metal]] L-Gaim'' is an anime television series, begun in 1984, which was directed by [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]]. Its characters and mecha were designed by [[Mamoru Nagano]], who would later go on to create [[The Five Star Stories]]. L-Gaim takes place in the Pentagona System, a solar system made up of five planets. [[Big Bad|Oldna Poseidal]], the legendary emperor from the planet Gastogal leads his 24 Temple Knights from planet to planet until all have fallen under his control. His final victory is on the planet Mizum in 3975 when he defeats Kamon Walha V, ruler of the Yaman Clan. Kamon hides his heir, Kamon Myroad on the planet Mizum with the legendary white mecha, [[Humongous Mecha|L-Gaim]]. Fifteen years later, now grown up and known as Daba Myroad, he leads a rebellion to free the planets of Pentagona from Poseidal's grasp.

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]] - Some fans apparently like to romanize the [[Big Bad]]'s name as Possoidal (or, less frequently, [[Psmith Psyndrome|Pposoidal]]) because his counterpart from the official English version of ''[[The Five Star Stories]]'' uses the name [[Sdrawkcab Name|Ladios Sopp]].
