YO so @ageofzero and I went ham on making a Giant Robo introductory powerpoint because we love GR so much. (I came up with the base and she got all the screenshots and refined everything)

if you were ever confused about this Giant Robo thing she and I talk about, here you go!! hope this helps!! go watch it!!!!

Would anyone be interested in purchasing a GR themed acrylic keychain with this design? If I make them, I'll probably sell them for about 12$ USD. I want them to have a glitter effect, which costs more to produce.

The big watermark won't be on the final keychain by the way, I just don't want anyone to steal this design. You can find the poll here.

I simply think you all need to see the most gay betrayal arc incident from giant robo. these two characters are like barely plot relevant at all btw they only show up in the last 2 episodes of the OVA to serve cunt and kill eachother

In response to your GR couples post: Alberto had a wife that’s mentioned a couple times in a few GR books. Her name is Kosanjou, and she died sometime after Sunny was born. They don’t say how, but I headcanon there were complications following Sunny’s birth. She looks like this:

oh wow, she’s really pretty! Second diversity win, Sunny the magician is mixed race like Genya and Ginrei are. :3

I suspected I might hear from you about Alberto, though he’d also fall into the category that Von Fogler falls into. She existed, he’s got a kid, but since she’s not actually *there* I wouldn’t count her for the sake of the joke. This is super neat to know, though.

Day 310: Giant Robo (Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still)

This was a request from @centuries-of-thoughts who asked me for Giant Robo! I assume that this is the guy, being that his name is Giant Robo. I know vaguely of this guy, but I’ve never read the manga or watched the Anime. But I watched the intro on YouTube, and he looks amazing! So I’ll watch it! (At some point anyways…)

INKtober Day 20-DR. VON VOLGER

Monster or martyr? Villain or scapegoat? In the bright, retro-future of GIANT ROBO, the legacy of Dr. von Volger, looms like an terrible shadow as the madman who caused the global catastrophe known as the Tragedy of Bashtal! Now a decade since, he is seemingly enacting revenge, from beyond the grave, intent on recreating the tragedy on an apocalyptic scale via the energy destroying mechanical weapon: THE EYE OF VOLGER! With this, the dead(?) scientist seems intent on taking vengeance upon the world for burying the truth of who and what is truly to blame for the Tragedy! However, Is this Volger’s alive? Is he dead? Also, was he even the mad man history claims he was?

So it has come to my attention that I somehow missed the 30th anniversary of Giant Robo, aka the Greatest Anime Of All Time, and if you haven’t watched it then stop what you’re doing and go do so immediately because it literally changed my life. And listen to the 100/10 God tier soundtrack.

Shinta Reviews: Giant Robo

90's OVA reboot of a classic Literal Giant Robo?  Let's see how this went.

GIANT ROBO: THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

Everyone's favorite super-powered Spaniard.

hi I wrote some Giant Robo fic about Sunny because the magnificent ten have invaded my house and won’t leave

read it here! And check out the other fics in the collection that my friends wrote—they’re about G Gundam and they’re really good!!

Response to your ask: I remember finding a fan doujin on The Internet Archive that has fan art of Kosanjou. I thought it was official artwork at first, but it's like a "what if" scenario for what she could've looked like in the OVAs.

Text says:

""Ten Feet of Blue" Kosanjou"

"Wife of Alberto the impact (deceased) and mother of Sunny/Sally. In Water Margin (Suikoden), she's the only woman among the heroes. Therefore, she has many male fans."

“She has many male fans” jkadshfl indeed, though idk if Youshi has the same appeal as Ginrei clearly does, so maybe she wouldn’t have as many fans as that.

I couldn’t see her standing side by side with Alberto in the OVA itself, maybe it’s a lack of creativity on my part, but I think it’d be out of place within the context of the story being told. But she’s still awesome and I think she would’ve been very cool in motion!

just watched giant robo the day the earth stood still. good tv show
