Gaiking
 Home/Change Series
"Gaiking" is a Japanese TV series which aired in 1976. It was later dubbed into English and released as part of "Force Five", a weekday cartoon show made up of five different Japanese cartoons. Unlike "Robotech", "Force Five" kept each series separate; each with its own storyline. When "Force Five" ceased to exist, it was released again under the title, "RoboFormers". I have never seen the Japanese original, and I don’t know if there are differences between the original, "Force Five", and "RoboFormers".
Deep in space a planet named Zela was destroyed by a black hole. The planet's survivors decided that the only way they could continue to survive was to find a new planet. After searching the cosmos, their Supreme Leader, Darius, decided that they should attack and take Earth. To combat this threat, Earth’s greatest scientist, Professor High Tech, builds a giant robot: Gaiking.
My favorite "Force Five" cartoon is "Spaceketeers/Starzingers"; but I really enjoy this cartoon too. The stilted animation and odd dubbing make this cartoon cheezy fun, similar to a Godzilla movie.
