YMMV / Super Robot Red Baron

• Adaptation Displacement: In Latin America, the anime version from 1995 is far more well known, and most people ignore that it was actually a reboot of a 1973 live-action series.
• Awesome Music:
  • RED BARON! RED BARON! Even the show's creators love this theme.
  • The sequel series opening and ending themes both have a rather glam rock feel.
  • Let's not forget the anime's opening.
• Complete Monster: Angel Killer is a sadistic officer of the Space Iron Alliance, putting aside his loyalty to his superiors. He was sent when Professor Deviler's plans proved ineffective, intending to use his Sky Shark mech's acid fire weapon to pose a serious threat to Red Baron and Japan, and is more than willing to goad Ken into fighting him, starting with open mockery and later launching ball-shaped bombs at airplanes with Sky Shark's golf club.
• Crazy Is Cool: Inspector Kumano has an umbrella that can protect against bullets and a bike pump whose handle doubles as a sword.
  • He also occasionally employs tactics that are Crazy Enough to Work.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Inspector Kumano. It helps that he gets his own focus episode.
• First Installment Wins: To put things in perspective, this is the only part of the franchise to get a full season DVD release and a TV Tropes page (as of this writing). Super Robot Mach Baron doesn't even have those.
  • The sequel does have a page on The Other Wiki, but it's a stub.
• Harsher in Hindsight: One of the Iron Alliance's plots involves using the robot Magma Wolf, to devastate Japan by creating earthquakes. Already quite distressing back then, but the fact that the time period is the 21st century does not help one bit, considering what happened decades later in real-life Japan.
• Narm Charm
• Special Effects Failure: As expected of a mid-70s toku show. For starters, most of the robots have obvious folding rubber joints.
