This is a mecha oriented adventure story. A mischievious boy of 12 years age accidentally finds a giant robot ( shadow warrior) and uses it to fight against shadow warriors sent by Dark lord Tsukiyomi. Tsukiyomi sents a girl named oto as an undercover spy to steal dragon essence from Takeru, who has just started his journey. Meanwhile he learns from an old perverted sage Ma horoba that to defeat tsukiyomi takeru must gather 7 celestial essence. This is the gist of the entire 'yamato takeru' series. Charcters: Roko, friend of Takeru was the only strong and purposeful character in the series. Takeru's parents were moreresponsible and give him the correct suggestions which are useful for many. For instance, Takeru's mother caution him that "fighting is not the only way to show courage' and his father instructs him not to get controlled by his rage. Some characters change from bad to good like hayamika and kiriomi.

Art: Art gets deteriorated after 13 episodes. You can see the drawing lines on the characters ears, tea shirts (observe oto and Takeru).

Enjoyment : The whole series is nothing but an adventure with mecha which some times feel like boring. But the story compensates it and makes us to go through the end. So one can see it when there are no other anime available.
