Hey folks,
I just found out that a 40th anniversary series of Giant Robo started airing in Japan last month. From what I've been able to find out the new series has updated the style of Giant Robo so he looks somewhere between the man in the rubber suit of the 60s and the Popeye style forarms of the 90s OVA. Speaking of the OVA, this new series behaves as if the OVA never happened and uses the original TV series for its inspiration.
Being a Giant Robo fan I really want to see this series but I haven't found anyone doing fansubs of it yet. Does anyone know anything more about this series? I would love to check out an episode or two without waiting for the North American distributors to make it available to us (assuming they ever do).
