Fang of the Sun Dougram

Fang of the Sun Dougram is a seminal real-robot anime that emphasises political realism and grounded warfare. It follows resistance fighter Crinn Cashim as he pilots the Dougram against an oppressive regime on the colony planet Deloyer. Known for its detailed mechanical designs by Kunio Okawara and its focus on tactics and ideology rather than heroics, the series laid the groundwork for later mecha dramas such as VOTOMS and Gundam. Its rugged combat aesthetic remains influential in model design today.
