The Roman Robo Anime Climax Selection (マジックボックス ロマンロボアニメクライマックスセレクション) is a 1980s supplementary guide to the Robot Romance Trilogy. It was co-authored by Tadao Nagahama, Akihiro Kanayama, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, Nobuyoshi Sasakado and Kei Iizima.It contains behind-the-scenes information, concept art, trivia, animation frames, character sketches, director commentary and other miscellaneous information related to the three anime of the trilogy, Combattler V, Voltes V and Daimos.For tropes related to it's parent series, see the Robot Romance Trilogy, or the individual pages related to its anime.If you're wondering where the name "Roman Robo" comes from - it's due to the taiga-drama style of the shows incorporated by director Nagahama.

All There in the Manual: The book is the "manual", in this case. Combattler V Chizuru's three sizes are B84-W60-Height unknown. Voltes V: Kenichi's birthday is June 22 and Ippei's is November 24. Daijiro's is November 18, Hiyoshi's is October 20 and Megumi's is May 17. Heinel's birthday is February 2, and Katherine's birthday is May 1. Kenichi is 18, Ippei is 18, Daijiro is 17, Hiyoshi is 10 and Megumi is 16. Heinel is 18 years old, and Katherine is 20. Professor Hamaguchi is Ippei's maternal grandfather. He also has a dislike for sea cucumber. Professor Hamaguchi was Mitsuyo Go's college teacher during her school days. Katherine's mother was Heinel's wet nurse/nanny. After Heinel's maternal grandparents died, the Rii family raised him alongside Katherine. The two became friends when as young children, Katherine saw Heinel being bullied and felt protective of him. Daimos: Richter is 19 years old. Miwa is 65 years old. Margarete is Erika and Richter's governess and educator. Raiza has a battle suit like Richter.

Mythology Gag: Some sketches of Kazuya have him with a football. This could possibly be a reference to the fact that in the first draft of Voltes V, Kenichi was depicted as a football player. Concept art of Megumi depicts her with a perm, just like her predecessor Chizuru Nanbara was slated to have.

Adjective Noun Fred: The Japanese titles for the first two entries of the Robot Romance Trilogy are "Super-Electromagnetic Machine Combattler V" and "Super-Electromagnetic Machine Voltes V". The final entry is known as "Fighting Shogun Daimos".

Not Drawn to Scale: On the cover, none of the characters are drawn to scale. Though, you could probably tell that from the positioning of their feet.

What Could Have Been

comment
What Could Have Been: In-universe, this guide divulges what concepts were scrapped for the anime. Combattler V: Chizuru's hair was permed instead of straight. Voltes V: Daimos: Had Daimos not been cut down to 44 episodes instead of the scheduled 50, the final episodes would be about the humans and the Baam overcoming their issues and forming a friendship, while the Baam were to migrate to Mars and start a new civilization there. The Baam would be led by Erika, while Kazuya represented the delegates of the humans. This was to be the fate of Miwa:

Central Theme: According to Tadao Nagahama, each entry of the trilogy has it's own Central Theme. Combattler V: The Power of Friendship. Voltes V: Love between a father and a son. Daimos: Love between a man and a woman.

Foreshadowing: Many a poster has Kenichi and Heinel on equal footing, with Kentaro Go overlooking them. Those who have watched Voltes V would know the twist that Kentaro is also Heinel's father.

Ascended Extra: Inverted. On the cover, there's the main male protagonist, the main female protagonist and the main villain and the Humongous Mecha of each anime from each iteration of trilogy. Each iteration except Daimos, where only the main male protagonist, main female protagonist and Humongous Mecha are seen.

Engrish: On the cover and the index page, Combattler V is spelled as "Conbattler V". The same typo is also on the back◊ of the book. Also on the index page, "climax" is spelled "crimax"◊. The same error happens again on another page◊. One page is spelt "Top Secret Cel of Voltes V" when it should be "Top Secret Cell of Voltes V".
