The brave new world of the future! Earth has gone through its third energy revolution, and now all power is based on a new invention called 'the Shizuma Drive,' a complete recyclable and pollution free energy system created ten years ago by a group of five scientists. These drives power everything. There is no more danger of nuclear radiation, or waste of rare resources such as petroleum.
Even though it sounds like an ideal society, there are still problems. There are two major powers who are locked in a fierce struggle. The first is the Big Fire Organization, which is a very powerful evil organization that threatens to conquer the world with the help of their numerous robots.
The only people capable of putting a stop to their plan is the International Police Organization. They consist of a team of agents, all having their own special powers. They also have the most powerful robot in the world, Giant Robo. Giant Robo is controlled by Kusama Daisaku.

Like Akira, the animation technique will never get old, it is plain awesome, anime style at its best. The plot goes the same way but with less success. Too much inspiring "ganbatte ne" dialogs and sacrificial deaths, the villains are overwhelming powerful and annoying, they talk too much and refuse to die. The final climax is about 50/50 no true definite victory or defeat, it doesn't truly ends what makes up a very unsatisfying conclusion. Watch the battles, feast your eyes with the astounding battle scenes and fast forward the annoying speeches.

There was a great line in Excel Saga that anime was about explosions, but for me anime is about movement. No other anime epitomizes that principle of inventive movement than Giant Robo. From the first scene running on the transforming train/robot to the final battle to end all battles, Giant Robo just looks amazing--with movement that can only be depicted in anime. The story may be built out of old concepts, but the final product is purely unique. These are the best giant robots, the best mad scientists, and the best anime-style super-heroes.
There's a great ecological theme that isn't didactic. And the music! The music is breathtaking--classic symphony used expertly. Finally, the most important thing, the story has realistic consequences. That's uncommon in any storyline, much less anime. This show should be considered a classic.

This is a classic -- not because it's representative of any particular style, but precisely because it is so unusual. Everything meshes well - the retro-style animation done to modern standards, the operatic music, the tokusatsu plot.
And speaking of plot, I've taken to using GR as a reference unit of plot twistedness. Comparatively little media ever reaches 1 GR, and precious few exceed it.

main character
male, , age sensitiveVery sensitive about their age and/or the age they look, to the point where they might get quite aggressive, child soldierUntrained and as yet immature, children are expediently thrust into the role of warriors to protect god, king, and country. Not having even finished school, they are inexplicably designated to elite status or roles, typically requiring months of training and years of experience. All the more so with "experimental" equipment or weapons of mass destruction., fair skinFair skin is a naturally occurring range of skin colour that is lighter than the average for humans, but not light enough to be considered white. Ethnically speaking, a reasonable real life metric for fair skin is the skin colour of people normally said to be "white"., immatureMarked by or indicating a lack of maturity, innocentno description set, protection complexA character has a protection complex if the character is overly protective of other characters, beyond what would be considered a "normal" or "expected" duty of care.
The magnitude of overprotection can vary. It can be as low as constantly nagging someone to "stay safe". It can be as extreme as the protector making it their mission in life to protect the other character.

secondary cast
female, blue eyesThis character has blue-colored eyes., cheongsamA traditional one-piece Chinese dress for women. It is often accompanied by a pair of hair buns., fair skinFair skin is a naturally occurring range of skin colour that is lighter than the average for humans, but not light enough to be considered white. Ethnically speaking, a reasonable real life metric for fair skin is the skin colour of people normally said to be "white"., humanModern humans are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina. Together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, they are part of the family Hominidae. Terrestrial animals, humans are characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other animals; and highly advanced and organized societies., long hairLong hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., police officerThis character works for the police, and his or her job is related to keeping peace, law and order., submachine gunA submachine gun or machine pistol is an automatic carbine designed to fire pistol cartriges. Their use has mostly been displaced by assault rifles in most armed forces because of their limited range and inability to penetrate body armour worn by modern infantry, but they are still widely used by tactical police units and military special forces for close quarters combat. Some examples of this class of weapons include the Uzi, the H&K MP5, and the Ingram MAC-10., teleportationTeleportation is the transfer of matter from one point to another, possibly a distant one, without application of force, and generally instantly. This contradicts scientific law as we know it, and is therefore nowadays impossible. Sometimes it appears as a paranormal or supernatural ability, and sometimes it is shown in science fiction through technological devices backed up by scientific laws yet to be discovered.
