5.0 out of 5 stars Never imagined Giant Robo could be this funny
Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot was my favorite tv show when I was a kid. Although I was a bit disappointed with the confusing story line of the animated Giant Robo (only saw VHS version, heard DVD dub makes more sense), I thought I'd get this video.

I'm glad I did. I especially enjoyed the first two episodes (the ones with huge robots fighting). It was an...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not so great compared to The Day the Earth Stood Still series
This series takes place roughly after the first episode of the Day the Earth Stood Still series. Although it is nice to see some of the characters that die in the above series alive again, this is played more as a parody. Don't get me wrong, I love parodies, but this one just isn't that funny.

I'm glad I did. I especially enjoyed the first two episodes (the ones with huge robots fighting). It was an interesting glimpse into the lives of some of the characters outside of work.

Be sure to play it with the English subtitles on. The dub and subtitles are slightly different translations.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's just like Giant Robo, December 2, 2005

This review is from: Ginrei Special (DVD)
The criminal organization Big Fire devise a plan to undermine their enemies by kidnapping Ginrei and replacing her with evil twin. The oblivious Ginrei, however is more concerned about the disappearance of her favorite dress. This movie has great animation if you loved Giant Robo then get this.

Plus the series seems to be unsure if this is supposed to be a parody or serious so the result is largely uneven. I would avoid buying this.
