History YMMV / FutureRobotDaltanious

** ''Daltanious'' is beloved in Italy, partially because a lot of kids grew up watching it on TV in the eighties, and partially because Italy adores mecha anime as a whole. However, the series is so popular there, it dwarfs anything else made by Creator/TadaoNagahama. To this day, you have Italians discussing ''Daltanious'' and collecting figurines of it. It is even available on Italy's [[https://leganerd.com/2020/12/22/daltanious-il-robot-del-futuro-lanime-e-disponibile-su-prime-video/ Amazon Streaming Service]] and received it's own original comic in the magazine ''Corriere del Piccoli'' (1981).

* AdaptationDisplacement: Mecha anime fans will be surprised to find out it is based on, of all things, Creator/AlexandreDumas' ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers''.

** As many other super robot shows, Daltanious is fondly remembered in Italy by those who grew up watching it on TV in the eighties.

** Nova, despite being an evil panther, is very pretty and acts rather cat-like when it's on it's own.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Emperor Dolmen, even if he had a DarkAndTroubledPast that even the heroes sympathized with. [[spoiler: You can argue bringing the fall of Helios Empire was LaserGuidedKarma, but he also invaded and attacked several planets that had nothing to do with his oppression. Despite claiming to be the voice of the oppressed clones, not once did he use his power to challenge their societal mistreatment. He's more than happy to use Kloppen in the same way the Helios Empire exploited their clones, and only abandoned him because he outlived his usefulness. Dolmen comes off as someone who believes that he's entitled to do whatever he wants because he had a shitty upbringing]].

** Or rather subplot in form of Catine and Judela who were parodies of Erika and Margarete from ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'' being depicted as vain and shallow women with the GoldDigger plan to mooch off with Kento, who's the heir of the Helios Empire. It would have been interesting for the two to undergo CharacterDevelopment, similarly like Earl did, and [[spoiler: grow past their prejudice against clones even after Kento was falsely accused to be one by Kloppen]] instead of being the center of a slapstick romantic comedy.

** Nova, despite being an evil panther, has a glamorous blue coat and acts rather cat-like when it's on it's own.
** Meralion. She may be a gigantic metallic {{Robeast}}, but she retains many of her feline characteristics from being born a regular lion.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Emperor Dolmen, while having a DarkAndTroubledPast that even the heroes sympathized with, can feel like this. [[spoiler: Of course, bringing the fall of Helios Empire was LaserGuidedKarma, but he lost the plot when he began invading and attacking several planets that had nothing to do with his oppression. Despite claiming to be the voice of the oppressed clones, not once does he use his power to help them or challenge their societal mistreatment. He's more than happy to use Kloppen in the same way the Helios Empire exploited their clones, and abandons him once he can no longer service him. Dolmen comes off as someone who believes that he's entitled to do whatever he wants because he had a shitty upbringing]].

** The series is also well-loved in many Latin American countries. Search up "Mirai Robot Daltanious" on [=YouTube=] and you'll find that the vast majority of videos speaking about are in Spanish.

** [[spoiler: Dolmen. He survived through unimaginable abuse from the minute he was born, being restricted to a prison cell and punished for every flaw of Emperor Palmillion's as he was his clone. When he resisted, he was beaten and abused, and some parts of his flashbacks even imply that as a clone, he went through MindRape. Once the tables were turned and he had the higher ground, he went on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and established the Zaal Empire to get back at Helios, starting by sinking the Empire and then conquering several planets en masse.]]

* CompleteMonster: [[ConqueringAlienPrince Kloppen]], the [[InsaneAdmiral Commander of the Zaal Reconnaissance Fleet]] is Earth's first taste of [[TheEmpire the Zaal Interstellar Empire]]'s brutality. He leads his fleet into a bloody campaign of conquest across Japan which orphans hero Kento and his friends. The Commander plans to continue razing Earth's cities and destroying any military resistance that gets in his way until the whole planet submits to the Zaal Empire. When newly awoken, Daltanious destroys one of his giant robots and the Commander mobilises his entire fleet to destroy Doctor Earl's base and personally destroy Daltanious.
