Overview

The year is 20XX. Mysterious huge robots called "Giant Robo (GR)" started to appear all over the world and destroy cities. The earth was covered with fear. And their next target is Japan! The hero of this animation Daisaku Kusama, who works in a diving shop, encounters a mysterious girl, simply called V who leads him to make a contract with an enormous robot "Giant Robo 1 (GR1)" at the ancient ruins (Minami Yonaguni Island) in Okinawa. He made a contract with UNISOM (main organization) and was approved to be a commander of GR1. Thus his battle has begun against GRO (antagonist organization) and creates a lot of dramas. Before long, Giant Robo of the 21st century will ask the world the true meaning of its power. (Source: AniDB)

Synopsis 日本語

「世紀末という大きな時代の節目に『ジャイアントロボ』を代表とする巨大ロボットが活躍する、原点回帰的なアニメを見たい」という横山の一言からすべては始まった。「原作版に限りなく忠実な映像化」をコンセプトに作られたパイロットアニメが完成したが、その後さらなる検討が続き、「現代的な要素と壮大な世界観の必要性」を課題とし、今回の作品が生まれた。コンセプトデザインは岡田有章。
