Who remembers 'Gigantor'?

[SHRED]

I was 8 years old when it came out and watched it all the time.

1. I'm just a year younger and I don't remember it.

Of course, it looks like it targeted a boy demographic. I loved Johnny Quest, however; had a crush on Hadji.

2. That intro was creepy and irresistible

The cartoon wasn't my thing, though. Was more of a Looney Tooner.

It used to be on Adult Swim way back when.

9. Tobor the Eighth Man....

I always remember this one because when I learned that Tobor was Robot spelled backwards my mind was blown (hey, when you're a kid things like that are really cool)

[Codeine]

6. Loved it circa 1975 nt

7. As a kid back in the day, I loved Gigantor!

8. Comet TV

is showing a live action type of this called Johnny Sokko and the (his ?) Giant Robot, I may have gotten the title wrong but it's close. When I first came across this I saw on the screen an 8 year old boy at a table apparently drinking beer with his adult co-workers, later he was shooting at the bad guys and controlling this giant robot.

Goofy as hell show.

I love these Japanese shows because of the miniature models being so well done.
