In short, Baldios is like what happens when Grendizer and Layzner make a baby. Baldios tells the story of Marin, who left his planet fleeing from a traitor Hitler-like bad guy called Gattler, who killed Marin's father and the planet leader just to overtake command and invade other planets. both Marin and Gattler forces leave the dying S-1 planet and accidentally stumble upon the earth with Marin deciding to help Earthlings while Gattler deciding to invade Earth. I came to this show not expecting much since it looked cheap and kinda generic at first but surprisingly, it had interesting new ideas, good character development, and tragic moments. The animations,however, are pretty bad and might send people off but for those who don't mind (like Gundam 0079 animations) won't have much trouble enjoying this series.

What I liked the most about this show is how the bad guys don't rely on their mechs all the time like in other super robot shows, but they even plan disasters like floods, poison crops to make people starve to death, mess with other planets to hurt Earth's gravity, etc... it's pretty much a series of brutal disasters.

It also has a nice touch of random background characters contributing to the drama like how some of the good guys base employees try to threaten Marin for being an alien whenever they feel desperate to save their families.

Since this show is canceled, the show ends with a cliffhanger but luckily there's a movie to fill in the ending.

Overall, I give this show a 8/10 for having great drama, new ideas, and for its brutal nature. (it's a low-key kill 'em all show like Ideon)

If you like vintage super robot shows regardless of animations quality, you will like Baldios.
