Does Reideen have a noteworthy legacy like Tomino other works?
I watched few episodes and honestly, it was pretty mediocre

For sure
It's one of the best anime of the 70s and the main villain is one of the best in anime history. Easily in Tomino's top 3.
The 'legacy' is mostly in it being the first Sunrise robot anime, and being worked on by a load of people who would soon go on to big success like Tomino, Nagahama, Yasuhiko, Yoshitake Suzuki, Moriyasu Taniguchi, etc.
>It's one of the best anime of the 70s
lmao no way, it's got very strong designs (both Raideen and the MotWs) and frequently nice animation, but the actual episode-to-episode storytelling is pretty fricking weak and Sharkin is the only one of the villains who remotely stands out (and even he was better executed in Nagahama's subsequent shows)
Not all of Tomino's works were noteworthy. It's not as if stuff like Xabungle or King Gainer spawned huge franchises
Raideen had a few sequels and was a SRW mainstay for a long time, however, so someone evidently saw something in it
Not everything "noteworthy" turns into a franchise.
is it special in any way, or does it have something that makes it distinguishable from others?
Ideon didn't make a franchise, but it's famous for its ending
Zambot 3 is famous for its brutality
Dunbine is famous for being one of first isekai shows
>reducing great shows to the one aspect youtubers and Cinemaphileutists keep mentioning
>Reducing
but I love all of them, and don't watch israelitetubers
I haven't watched it at all, but as far as I can tell, it's the first robot show to feature a robot that is more supernatural than it is scientific
Like that anon said, reduction is no good.
People keep naming characters Rei + Asuka so yeah
Was god mazinger inspired by this show?
>statue-like robot like god mazinger
>is also a god that telepathically speaks with the mc like god mazinger
>originated from Mu Island, like god mazinger
>MC has psychic powers like god mazinger's mc
probably
It’s the first super robot of mystical origin and not of science like its predecessors, it’s like if daimajin was actually a good guy and was made of steel than stone
It was the first mecha show with a toy that could transform even if it wasn't fully show accurate. Getter Robo was too unpossible.
It got two remakes/sequels/reboots? so yeah.
>Does Reideen have a noteworthy legacy
Sure it does. Don't listen to the people comparing this to a certain other anime.
It's considered the first ever transforming mech that wasn't also a combiner like Getter
While RahXephon's design and abilities are inspired by Raideen, everyyhing else about it is clearly more similar to Eva
it has a character named Rei Asuka
Does raideen have a full eng sub yet?
it showed in Hawaii on TV in the 70's. I wish Generation Kikaida would release some of the animated series that showed back then like they did with Kikaider/Kikaider 01/Kamen Rider V3/Inazuman
Generation Kikaida are dead, aren't they? I think they've still got their socials, but they've stopped distributing anything
subninjas?
yes, aniwave even had every ep

I had no clue about this, thank you so much. No wonder starseeker stopped subbing Raideen
It was the proto nagahama romance anime
It featured the original Char
It was one of the first mecha shows to have a majority-female fanbase for it. They loved Yasuhiko’s character designs cause they thought the characters he drew were sexy. Yasuhiko talks about this in My Back Pages.
