5.0 out of 5 stars Here is a suggestion!, April 29, 2007

Terrific show, but I need to address one of the posts below... I never bought this packaged set, but I have the indivdual DVDs from Anime Works. If you desire the Manga Dub of Giant Robo (and, really, why wouldn't you?) then you should know this: the DVDs contain a hidden track which has the Manga dub. It CANNOT be selected from the menus. Instead find the "audio" button on your DVD remote and push it until the Manga Dub begins.

Thanks!

On the surface, it seems like just another big robot cartoon. It's much more than that.

This Giant Robo was a 90's anime, an homage to the manga and live action television series of decades before, and I can confidently say it is one of the best anime series out there. With solid, even great animation for its time, an epic story, grand score, and strong characterizations, it is considered by many to be one of the best retro animes, and one of the best anime productions of all time. On a personal note, I can say that when I first sat down to watch this series I didn't expect much. What a pleasant surprise it was, so much so that Giant Robo became one of my favorite anime series and during a time where I had been exhausted with anime.

Believe me, even if that is overhyping the series, it is a bargain at its price for this economy pack (which includes four cases having the entire 7 episode series and the Ginrei specials, totalling nearly six hours, not including the extras).

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest anime out there, October 17, 2006

This review is from: Giant Robo - Economy Pack (DVD)

Like the reviewer below me, i bought this set because a friend reccomended it. I was not expecting to like it much at all.

But once i started watching it, this was the best thing i had ever seen.

Each episode (40-60minutes a piece) was full of action and excitement. But it is also full of story, plot twists and it always keeps you ready for more.

This dvd set is well worth more than $20.
