After years of being in licensing limbo, it was rescued by Discotek Media, to be released in 2023. The show was later dubbed by Media Busters, however only half of the episodes were dubbed in English and the other episodes were released subbed on DVD. Courage, friendship and sacrifice, it's everything a growing boy needs. Then, after the half-way point all hell breaks loose and GGG have to try twice as hard as they were just to stay alive. New technologies and characters get introduced at a constant rate and you get the occasional glimpse of what's to come. The first 26 episodes are Monster of the Week action - someone gets turned into a Zonder, they attack the city, GGG launches to fight it. Thus goes the first episode of GaoGaiGar, an anime made in the aftermath of Neon Genesis Evangelion that continued the Hot-Blooded spirit of the Brave Series, gleefully revisiting the old-school Super Robot style of Giant Robot Combining Mecha made up of all manner of animals and vehicles that launch brute-force attacks while declaring each one by name with all the straight-faced seriousness of its Darker and Edgier contemporaries in the Mecha Show genre. Just as he's about to crush it however, Mamoru suddenly starts to glow green, wings of light spread from his back, and he flies towards the robot, begging the robot not to destroy the core. When this proves not enough to save the kids, he fuses it with a bullet train, stealth bomber and drill tank and basically rips its heart out. But what's this? A mysterious cyborg swoops in to save them, then jumps into the giant robot lion from eight years ago, turning it into a large robot man. He and his classmates are trapped on said robot, and all hope seems lost as the military bombards it with fighter jets, only to have them shot out of the sky. ![]() Eight years later, in the far flung future of 2005, Mamoru is on a school trip to a garbage island in order to have demonstrated to him the importance of recycling, only to awaken a giant Robeast. In the most patently awesome version of the Delivery Stork trope ever, a giant robot lion delivers a human-looking baby to an unsuspecting couple in the middle of a snowstorm, who name the baby Mamoru. ![]() The King of Braves GaoGaiGar (勇者王ガオガイガー / Yuusha-Oh GaoGaiGar) is 1997 Japanese televised Super Robot anime and the final installment of the Takara/Sunrise Brave Series. ![]()
