Turn your howling libido into power!
Healthy Robo Daimidaler!
Daimidaler the Sound Robot is a manga created by Asaki Nakama and first published by Enterbrain from 2008 to 2012. A sequel, Daimidaler the Sound Robot OGS was serialized from 2013 to 2016. An Animated Adaptation was created for the spring 2014 anime season.
The world is beset by the evil forces of the penguin empire (basically a bunch of perverted guys in penguin onsies) who continuously attack cities in giant mecha (also penguin shaped) in order to steal the power of High-Ero particles. It falls to perverted and Hot-Blooded highschooler Kōichi Madanbashi to fight the penguin empire with the help of Daimidaler, A Super Robot that runs on Deus Sex Machina (sort of).
Yeah... it Makes Just as Much Sense in Context.
