2.0 out of 5 stars Still stylish, but has not aged well., June 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gigantor 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

You may have seen the original English-language broadcasts in the 1960's. The catchy theme tune will no doubt stir memories, but the dubbed dialog today seems unbelievably creaky, done with little regard for the nuances of character and story; the bad guys, for example, seem to be given alternately the accents of Nazis or Chicago gangsters. What's amusing now is to pick out the few obvious Japanese references in the video: women occasionally (and inexplicably) appearing in kimono, Japanese writing on instrument panels and packets of sweets ('Glico'), etc. Visually, it can still be very stylish.
