Giant Robo has such a good fucking design by Makoto Kobayashi. I wonder if Exodia from Yu-Gi-Oh is based on the '70s manga/tokusatsu or even the anime design here.

The animation’s super-good. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op2rvF6fU44

      If I remember right, they didn’t have the full licensing rights for Giant Robo, so they mixed in a bunch of random stuff from the manga creators’ works (like a bunch of Three Kingdoms characters etc).

      Definitely gives the “kid playing with dad’s old toys” vibe that ties in with the dedication to fathers and children lol
