Originat Title: "Jaianto Robo"
ROBOT, ATTACK! ROBOT, DESTROY!
These commands launched a thousand Sci-Fi fantasies for budding fans of the
genre, just as they brought Johnny Sokko's Giant Robot into imminent battle
action!
Under the voice control of young Johnny Sokko, the massive, flying metal
behemoth would bring his fiery breath, laser eyes, finger-launched missiles
--and above all, his incredible physical strength-- into battle with count-
less menacing monsters bent on destroying Earth!
This epic fantasy series from Toei Studios aired from 1967 to 1968 and garn-
ered even more fans in after-school reruns throughout the 70's. Collected
here for the first time on DVD are all 26 episodes of explosive kaiju batt-
les, nefarious alien takeover plots and mind-blowing heroics from jet-packed
Johnny Sokko and his equally airborne friend and protector: Giant Robot!

I never saw this series while I was growing up. In fact, I'd never heard of
it until 2011 when it was submitted to The Boy Scouts Blog at Blogger (by I
think Subransu).
In the style of "Godzilla", "Rodan", etc. and similar to "Ultraman", this
Kaiju (Monster (English translation: Men in Rubber Suits Fighting Martial-
Arts Style While Stepping on Miniature Tokyo Cities :rotfl: )) series is a
fun little romp with an adorable little Cutie in each episode.
Don't forget to take a look at my scans of the 24-page booklet, which incl-
udes a lot of commentary on the series by author August Ragone.
Postscript: Tragically, Mitsunobu Kaneko passed away on June 11, 1997, from
injuries sustained in a car accident. He was only 39 years old...
