JLS's Profile

Story - 10/10
The events take place in the near future, ten years after the advent of the Shizuma Drive triggers the third energy revolution. The series follows the master of the titular Robo, Daisaku Kusama, and the Experts of Justice, an international police organization locked in battle with the Big Fire (BF) Group, a secret society hell-bent on world domination.

Art/Animation - 10/10
Started in 1992 and finished in 1998, Giant Robo's animation is just absolutely amazing. For being made in the 1990's, it felt like it was made just in the last year. It's some of the most beautiful and clean animation I've ever seen from the 1990's.

Sound - 10/10
Giant Robo's music/sound was composed, arranged and conducted by Japanese Academy Award nominee Masamichi Amano and performed by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir. The music ranges from grand pieces to more light-hearted tracks. The music of Giant Robo has been called one of animation's crowning achievements.

Character - 10/10
You'll fall in love, I guarantee it, with many of the characters and the noble heroism they bring to Giant Robo. You'll fall in love with the heroes of the Experts of Justice or the villains of the Big Fire Organization. All of them are likable. Giant Robo is considered to be a character drama, as each episode passes, you'll fall deeper and deeper into the character's depth.

Enjoyment - 10/10
Giant Robo is considered one of the true classics of anime. With each episode varied in time(35-60 minutes each), each episode is like a movie, it sounds and feels like one. It's over-the-top action and adventure will leaving you grinning cheek to cheek. It was so over-the-top, those who watch the last episode after watching the first six, have known to spontaneously combust - it's that good and enjoyable!

Overall, I give this a 10/10. This is a must-own to any and all anime fans. Truly a masterpiece in every sense of the word. read more
