	Giant Robo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The later 7-episode OVA series was produced by Mu Films in an interval between 1992 and 1998, it is considered as one of the best of the "retro-anime" produced in the 1990s, and also one of the greatest anime series ever to be produced.
		Giant Robo is not presented as a machine to command in an aloof manner but as a team member to be included in the team spirit.
		The Giant Robo OVA series spun off into three 30-minute videos (thought to be produced to distract the fans during the last-episode hiatus of the original), all of them starring the beautiful secret agent GinRei (銀鈴).

		The titular Robo is controlled by a young boy named Daisaku Kusama, whose surrogate family are the Agents of Justice - an organization charged with the protection of the world.
		Superficially this would appear your typical good-versus-evil setup, but Giant Robo's characters are totally distinct, teeming with energy, spirit and personality, as well as carrying the burdens of pasts they'd rather forget.
		Giant Robo excels at almost everything; an ocean-deep story, excellent characters (if only with some weird designs), an excellent orchestrated music score and a pacing second to none.

	The Critical Eye \| Giant Robo, vols. 1 & 2
		Giant Robo is a step backward--a step back towards an era of stories where bad guys were really bad, and good guys were undeniably good.
		Giant Robo himself (itself?) is a nod to the good old days, when giant-robot anime meant there was one central robot "character" who was only meant to be piloted by the hero.
		Giant Robo is fairly bursting at the seams with capital-T technology, insanely retro designs for planes, trains, and automobiles, and semi-surreal flashbacks to von Folger's acts of destruction.

	Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot
		Giant Robo's famous flying take-off stance follows, as the roof panel slides open and Robo launches into the air and assumes his flying pose as the credits continue.
		Also, during the sequence where Robo evades the hot oil attack by Double Head (Dublion) in Episode #8 (#10 in the U.S.), the scene is accompanied by Robo's rocket cannon sound effect, though Robo isn't firing his 'fingers.' Such errors do not occur in the original version.

	Animazement 98: Giant Robo Episode 7 Synopsis
		Daisaku decides that he can no longer simply sit idly by as he orders Robo to "Defeat the Eye of Vogler!" Robo then powers up his engines and pushes the Eye a fair distance away (it is then clear that the cables were powering him up, not restraining him).
		After he was shot he fell into the snow near Robo (in the Himalayas) where he formed the ice cocoon and regained his strength hoping for a second shot at the green haired punk.
		Robo and Daisaku remained at St. Abey, and Daisaku looks at his hand, holding one of Ginrei's earings, and tears well in his eyes.

		The story address a grand amount of philosophy regarding things like honor, duty, believing in loved ones, honoring requests by honored parents (in this movie, fathers) and the notion of good versus evil is simply a plot device, as the story is shown from both sides of the struggle.

		Let me back up; Giant Robo is, as the title suggests, a super robot anime.
		Giant Robo is unexplainably linked to Tetsujin 28, (Gigantor) at least the new, 1990s version, but I find it far better.
		Giant Robo deals far less with random mecha battles than with the actual, looming geopolitical issue of energy resources.

	AnimeOnDVD.com >> Disc Reviews >> Giant Robo Vol. #2
		With the number of times that Giant Robo was originally released over the first couple of years, we've seen the first two episodes more times than I want to remember, which resulted in some minor feelings with the first volume of the series again.
		For Daisuke, the plan is a chilling one as he's told that Giant Robo will not be going to Shanghai but instead will be taken north where it will be sealed up forever and never to be used again.
		It's often just the set action pieces with the giant robots knocking each other out across the city that really feel bigger than life and take on a certain feeling that overrides everything else, but with Giant Robo a lot of those scenes come from the dialogue and exposition pieces like this.

		Unfortunately, an evil group--ludicrously named "Big Fire!"--conspired to create a giant floating sphere that would cancel the Shizuma drives, effectively causing a worldwide flout and putting Earth in the hands of the one megalomaniacal group foresightful enough to stockpile non-Shizuma energy sources.

		The opening episodes had such a large cast of characters on the Experts of Justice side, the various locales and bases and everything that surrounded Giant Robo that it was immense and fascinating to follow.
		In the center of it all though continues to be Daisaku and Giant Robo and they're able to bring all of these sides together into one massive battlefield at Bashtarle that truly takes the circle back to the beginning and looks to try and finally break it at that point.
		A lot of the focus for Daisaku is given to things he's learned since joining up with Giant Robo and it comes down to what you have to sacrifice in order to keep what you truly want.

		from Skaville, UK Giant Robo is like a casserole; some bits are incredibly tasty, and some bits you have to push to the side of the plate.
		There are multiple instances in each episode where one of the good or bad characters does something that just makes you exclaim with joy at its coolness.
		The problem with this film is that it dwells far too much on big stuff: Giant Robo, cities blowing up, big fl orbs trashing out Shanghai, etc. Some of you will say "What do you expect from a movie called Giant Robo?" I have no answer to that.
