Is Super Beast Machine God Dancouga the closest mecha has to offer as an art? The avant garde styling of Obari's characters and machines seems to be something that the mechanical designers and character designers of today seem to avoid entirely.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a case of it being something of a pinnacle in both Japanese art and Japanese story telling. The themes of post-humanism as well as strength through vanity seem so common and reoccurrent that I can't help but see it as a, not only a classic piece of mecha history, but as a piece of art to the world.

Why is it that NOTHING has come close to matching the quality of Dancouga's art and story telling? Is the mediocrity of today's Japanese artist because of their blatant lack of skill, or is Fujikawa just among the greatest storytellers of the world?

Didn't Obari only design one of the characters? I thought each character was designed by a different person.

Exact same copy/pasta thread with Dancouga/Sidnona/Getter changed out. Don't feed "it".

Obari worked on Dancouga's design in the OVAs
Actual TV Dancouga was done by Hisashi Hirai if I recall correctly
