Dallos Special is an intriguing blend of animation and sci-fi that emerges from a unique editing process. The way the four OVAs are spliced together creates this disjointed yet fascinating narrative flow. There's a prologue included, which adds some depth with extra shots that set up the world of Dallos—it’s a nice touch, really, even if it feels a bit tacked on at times. The atmosphere is a curious mix of the surreal and the dystopian, typical for the era. It’s not a polished work, but that rough edge gives it character. Themes of rebellion and societal structures are explored, though the pacing can feel uneven as it shifts from one segment to another. Definitely a distinct piece in the animation landscape of the mid-'80s.
Considered a rarity among animation compilations.Watch for the unique editing style and pacing shifts.Great for collectors interested in '80s sci-fi animation.
