YMMV / Planet Robo Danguard Ace

• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Captain Dan is the best pilot in the whole series, drop dead gorgeous, tormented beyond the dreams of even the most ardent Condor Joe wannabe, with a deep, tragic and heart-rending backstory (mind-controlled, forced to kill his fellow test pilots, mind-wiped and tortured/enslaved for 10 years, missing out on his son's growing up, forced to hide the return of his memories and enduring several potentially career-ending injuries). To top THAT he's a determinator and all round bad-ass who could put Captain Harlock to shame - none of which is fully realised given the times and the demographic.
