Peace had returned to the city, but Sandman and the EFA were preparing for their next invasion.
Meanwhile, the people at Chateau Saint-Germain are on edge due to Sandman's long absence.
Eiji plays with the little maids and bets that he will be able to switch between the Grand Knights and the maids for a day, and as a result, all of the Grand Knights end up becoming maids.
Even though they complain, everyone realizes how difficult it is for the maids who support the battle.
And then, taking advantage of that gap, Zerabaia attacks again!
*Quoted from the GONZO official website ■Explanation Zwei is a story that will make you "burn with passion and make you cry"!
The episodes have been newly constructed from the previous work, making it even more powerful!
Klein Sandman and the Mystery of the Chateau of Saint-Germain.
The Earth Unified Government EFA counterattacks against Zerabaia.
The enemy "Zerabaia"'s true purpose and true identity are...
"Zwei" has rebuilt the previous work, and the first episode will be a completely new story. Keep an eye out for the mysterious millionaire Klein Sandman and the new character Fay! In addition, following the well-received sea chapter of episode 7, "The Drill Girl of the Beach," episode 3 of "Zwei" will be a mountain chapter set in a hot spring, fully showcasing the charms of the characters. In addition, the mysterious enemy Zerabaia will change from a learning-based "evolution" to a local-adaptive "change."
The usual troublemakers, Eiji & Runa, and the little maids are still there, as is the operator maid who supports God Gravion. Other new maids have also appeared.
Towards the second half, the Gran Troopers (mass-produced Gravion) take action, and the battle moves to the home planet of Zerabaia, leading to the heart of the story...
The mystery that runs through the series is who exactly is Klein Sandman?
And Zerabaia's true purpose and identity are finally revealed! ■Cast・Tenkuu Samurai Toga/Fukuyama Jun・Beni Eiji/Suzumura Kenichi・Jo Runa/Ikezawa Haruna・Mizuki Tachibana/Asakawa Yuu・Eina/Nakahara Mai・Lill Zerabaia/Kuwashima Houko・Raven/Midorikawa Hikaru・Klein Sandman/Hayami Sho・Tessera/Uchikawa Airi・Tuil/Takahashi Mikako・Manilia/Mizuki Nana・Brigitta/Kugimiya Rie・Anya/Mamiya Kurumi・Cecil/Omae Akane・Cookie/Kumai Motoko・Tria/Momoi Haruko・Alex Smith/Suwabe Junichi・Faye Xinlu/Chiba Saeko・Hugi Zerabaia/Horiuchi Kenyuu・The President/Tachiki Fumihiko・Professor Burnett/Matsumoto Rika・Rosa/Neya Michiko・Dika/Nakajima Saki・Professor Yoshizumi/Usui Yasu Taka ■ Main staff Original story by Masami Ohbari, Kazumitsu Akamatsu, and GONZO

Lyrics: Hironobu Kageyama; Composition: Yogo Kono; Arrangement: Yogo Kono; Singer: JAM Project featuring Yoshiki Fukuyama Super Heavy God Gravion Zwei - Review and Recommendation "Super Heavy God Gravion Zwei" is a TV anime series that was broadcast in 2004, and was produced as a sequel to the previous work "Super Heavy God Gravion". This work has an original story for the anime, directed by Masami Ohbari and based on the original work by Masami Ohbari, Kazumitsu Akamatsu, and GONZO. It was broadcast from January 9th to March 26th, 2004, on UHF stations such as tvk, TV Kanagawa, TV Saitama, Mie TV, Sun TV, and Kids Station. Each episode is 30 minutes long, and the series consists of 12 episodes in total. The story is set several months after the end of the battle with Zerabaia. Peace has returned to the city, but Sandman and the Global Unified Government (EFA) are preparing for the next invasion. Meanwhile, Sandman's absence has made the people of Saint-Germain Castle lose their sense of tension, and there are humorous scenes, such as when Eiji bets on swapping the Grand Knights and maids for a day in a game of fun with the little maids. However, Zerabaia takes advantage of this opportunity to attack again, and the story becomes tense again. "Zwei" is characterized by its "burning, tear-jerking" plot, and the episodes have been newly constructed from the previous work, making it even more powerful. It also includes elements of mystery solving, such as the mystery of Klein Sandman and Saint Germain Castle, the counterattack of the Earth Unified Government EFA, and the revelation of Zerabaia's true purpose and identity. The first episode is a completely new story, and focuses on the mysterious billionaire Klein Sandman and the new character Faye. The third episode is set in a hot spring, and the charm of the characters is fully displayed. The second half of the story depicts the exploits of the Gran Troopers and the battle scene on the Zerabaia home planet, getting closer to the heart of the story. The cast includes a star-studded cast of voice actors, including Jun Fukuyama as Tenkuu Samurai Touga, Kenichi Suzumura as Kurenai Eiji, and Haruna Ikezawa as Jou Runa. The main staff also includes experienced staff such as director Masami Ohbari, series composition and scriptwriter Fumihiko Shimo, character designer Makoto Aihime Mikantouno, and Gravion designer Kunio Okawara. The music is by Hikaru Nanase, and the theme song is "Kurena no Kiba" by JAM Project. The main characters include Tenkuu Samurai Toga, the pilot of Gran Kaiser, Kurenai Eiji, the pilot of GD:G Attacker, and Joh Runa, the pilot of GD:G Driller (left). Each character has a unique background and personality, and plays an important role in adding excitement to the story. New characters also appear, such as Fei Xinlu, leader of the Gran Trooper piloting team (G Soldier Corps) belonging to the Earth Unified Government EFA, and Hugi Zerabaia, leader of the Zerabaia, adding depth to the story. The main robots and items include God Gravion, Sol Gravion, and Ultimate Gravion. These robots have unique gimmicks such as fusion and transformation, which are important elements that liven up the battle scenes. Gran Troopers developed by the Earth Unified Government EFA also appear and play an active role in the battle against Zerabaia. Zerabaia's robots include Skull Zerabaia, Salamander Zerabaia, and Clione Zerabaia, and they will entertain viewers with their diverse designs and abilities. The subtitles for each episode are chosen to indicate the development of the story, such as "Return of the Super Heavy God," "A Beautiful Reunion," and "Fierce Battle! Gurabi Onsen!!" These subtitles not only make it easier for viewers to follow the flow of the story, but also serve to highlight the theme and important scenes of each episode. Related works include the previous work "Super Heavy God Gravion". This work is a prequel to "Zwei" and plays an important role in understanding the background of the characters and the world view. By watching "Gravion", viewers can enjoy the story of "Zwei" more deeply. The opening theme, "Kurenai no Kiba" by JAM Project, is used. This song's powerful melody and lyrics liven up the story's passionate development. The ending theme, "LA♪LA♪BYE" by Honey Bee, is used, bringing out the emotional scenes of the story. The inserted songs, "God Gravion" by JAM Project featuring Masaaki Endo and "Engou Goshin! Sol Gravion!!" by JAM Project featuring Yoshiki Fukuyama, add to the intensity of the battle scenes. Recommendation "Gravion Zwei" is highly recommended for fans of robot anime and action anime. The story unfolds at a heated pace, and the characters' growth and changes in their relationships are depicted, drawing viewers in. In addition, thanks to the efforts of a stellar cast of voice actors and staff, you can enjoy high-quality animation and music. This is a work not to be missed, especially for those who like robot gimmicks such as combining and transforming. Furthermore, since this work has a strong continuity with the previous work "Super Heavy God Gravion", we recommend watching the previous work before watching "Zwei". By watching the previous work, you can understand the background and world view of the characters more deeply, and you can enjoy the story of "Zwei" more. In addition, the theme song and insert song by JAM Project are also points not to be missed, so this work can be recommended to music fans. Overall, "Gravion Zwei" is a fascinating work with hot battle scenes, a moving story, unique characters and robot gimmicks. It is a work that is sure to leave a strong impression on viewers, so please give it a watch. |
