[bkl10225]

this makes me laugh its funny as hell for some reason

[HighCalm]

Its crazy to here that theme music after so many years - but its unforgetable!

[MrSundiefy]

its like the old/better version of big O

[kkofthefunkoffv3]

I'm currently watching the remake of the series and love it so far. I know I watched this a few times and was like WTF it's in black and white but, I came to appreciate it as it's one of the first few mecha animes which without there may be no Tezuka, or Tomino, or any other famous mecha creators / directors.

So watch this series, hell even watch the 90's one that's this but in color, but just watch this damned awesome series, that will turn more kids onto mecha.

[trooobador]

Gigantor could kick Optimus Prime's butt.

[MrSundiefy]

@trooobador i resent that

[trooobador]

@MrSundiefy

Also Gigantor is heaps more handsomer than OP.

Gigantor is one damn good lookin' bot. All the chick robots think so.

[Tetsujinmustdie]

@trooobador Megatron would rape him 

[trooobador]

@Tetsujinmustdie

Yeah I heard Megatron was a bit that way inclined.

[Ripplin]

Helmet did an interesting cover of this theme.

[MessyMurder]

Will the real gigantor, stand up?!

[les284]

Seems like just yesterday I watched this show......Where did all the time go?....I'm a living fossil now!

[brobearto]

@les284 dude, it's just like a current country song sez: "don't blink" ~ so here i am, checkin' out "kimba the white lion" & "skippy the bush kangaroo," & "astro boy," which i remember a lot better than "speed racer" or "tom slick" ... uh, yeah, come to find out, this illusion we call time surely does march on ... maybe we (i) will do it better next time around ... happy trails!

[garydlum]

Anyone know where I can get this as an mp3 for my mobile telephone?

[markre60]

Oh man, now I feel old. I haven't seen or heard Gigantor since 1965 or 66. When I was in 1st. grade in 1966 this and Johnny Quest were my favorites. Where did the time go? Great post.

[fnd111]

Mark: Oh man! Me too. It's been 40+years. How about Ultra Man & Speed Racer! FND

[48CHORD]

This made me relive 7th grade again for 56 Seconds, thank-you now 52 and glad for such great cartoons

[wmdbassplayer]

One of the coolest cartoon theme songs. Sure it's pretty cheesey by todays standards, but if you were a kid in the 60's and yuo watched this, you knew this song backwards and forwards. Great cartoon, too!!

[ExarElSalvador]

damn this is crazy i remember watching gigantor when i was like 5 and the time was 5pm THIS IS ONE BAD ASS CARTOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sinfulcomplexity]

they need to have a remix of this song!

[Cameron4467]

at like late at night theyed show gigantor on adult swim i was like 3 i dont freakin know oh they also had astroboy too

[w1we]

si escucharan la música del mismo en la versión que se transmitia para sudamerica en Perú, verían la gran diferencia.

[machetey]

i caught myself singing this at work

[teewoods]

And you were not sacked?

[machetey]

no they were beating the guy singing the mighty mouse theme

[MongoosEYo]

gigantor was so fantastic

they'd send him off, he'd kill untold amounts of people, and they'd just yell "good job, gigantor!"

oh how i love gigantor <3

[guachu13]

OMG memories

[fb7303]

one of the frist animes to come out of japan ^_^

[ebf1957]

That along with "Astro Boy," and "Prince Planet."

[fb7303]

yeah

[ebf1957]

Catroon Network used to show this early in the morning as part of their Adult Swim programming.

[ares5566]

dads favorite 2 cartoons were astro boy and this...

man life mustve suked

[machetey]

lol

[mrsdicaprio22]

WOW! Gigantor. Never heard of it. Interesting. What's gigantor's powers?

[Mandi7882]

"His power is in your hands" actually. :) He was a huge robot of which a boy controlled. If you've seen "The Iron Giant", by Brad Bird, it's a kinda homage to Gigantor. So, to update it today: Giagantor would be a HUGE Robot under the contorl of a teen to save the world from various evil-doers. Powers? Up to the teen's creativity.

[mrsdicaprio22]

Mandi7882, Oh wow! That's awesome!!

[Quake2815]

It came on adult swim like at 5:00 am.

[mrsdicaprio22]

Hi Quake2815, Wow! Gigantor came on that early, lol

[disturbedchildren]

this show is awesome but what i cant help wonder is how the heck do you contronl a giant robot with a joy stick????

[wmdbassplayer]

@disturbedchildren :That was the appeal back then; so much was left for a kid's imagination to fill in.

[Ehiguy102]

GI-GAN-TOR!

[albalonybalony]

DivaMonae, it's not so sad, I still, on occasion, sing this song. It takes me back to a simpler time and place.

LOL

[DivaMonae]

it's sad that my husband knows this song.....

[kfmay1962]

I used to watch this when I was a little kid. What year was this on?

[redwolf481]

they remade this and in the early 90's when scifi channel was first created they played the remade version

[wikigirl]

I have been wanting to show this to my kids. Well I just showed my daughter this clip and she said "mom you anime geek lol

[all66books]

When I see something like this that I watched as a kid, I feel older than old!

Seriously, thanks for posting this. Its a trip seeing stuff like this, Diver Dan, Andys Gang, Jerry Mahony, Chuck McCann, & Soupy Sales after a hiatus of 40+ years.

[wmdbassplayer]

To all66books: Dude, you make me feel old, too! The only name you mention that I'm not hip to is Andy's Gang. But boy, great stuff and great emories.

[bestao3]

GIGAAAANTOR

[FMPed]

...What the Fuck?...Haaa!

[hockifan22]

Very Kewl that you can find just about anything from your distant past on Youtube! I used to watch this cartoon in the 70's along with Kimba the White Lion - lol - and I just had to here that theme song as a means of comfort in these difficult times. ooooooooooooooooooooh K!

didn't help.

Back to Work!

[curlingto]

Watched this quite a lot...those days were a lot simpler, and a whole lot o' fun...

[nyuu2k14]

i used to watch reruns of thise... it would come on right after capt'n scarlett early in the morning on weekdays

[ng1294]

lol I nicknamed my penis gigantor.... this is the perfect theme song.

[MarcusInsidious1]

Hahaha! Me too!

[biggdadifrank]

Loved it. But then again I'm in therapy.

[ng1294]

lol

[yudh44444]

a long long time ago.. the first remote control has been made to control a big robot..

[leokimvideo]

I loved this, In Australia in the very early 70's, along with Prince Planet, absolute classics..

The Mad Bomber..

[fb2800]

I loooooved this show!!!! In Australia 1972 I used to jump out of bed at about 6am just to watch it! I was 35!

Only kidding really 6yo.

[osocuteagent99]

Fatter then fat, Dumber than dumb , stupid than stupider la la la laaa Gigantoooor Gigaaaaaantor. I hated this show. It wasn't like all the other cartoons when I was a little kid and I usually watched it when I was sick and had to stay home from school. That and Gumby also makes me sick~

[lpzena]

i love that show. it was my favorite. ran home after school just in time. so there

[osocuteagent99]

You know what, I did like it too. It was kind of wierd though. I didn't realize it was Japanese anime, it just didn't seem like the other cartoons plus I was just a little kid here..remember Branded? We used to change the words from a theme song "Branded , shot with a rubber band, what do you do when your pregnant and you know your a man!"

[wmdbassplayer]

I had to look on your page to see who would make such a comment. I should have known you were in your 20's. Don't get me wrong; I'm not putting you down, but people of more recent generations just don't understand what seeing this stuff again means to people in their 40's.  We come from simpler, easier times when even our kid's entertainment invoked a little more thought than just watching shit blow up every 5 minutes. Though, we had our share of that , too!

[osocuteagent99]

What is so much more thought provoking about "gigantor" ? Of course it is a nostalgic reminder of our youth, I'm 51! I need to change the profile just haven't gotten around to it. I have a good memory for jingles. I also remember the commercial theme song to newborn Thumbelina and Winston cigarettes and virginia slims and all kinds of stuff. My comment wasn't meant to upset Gigantor devotees. I just remember watching it as a kid and thinking something was off. I still watched it though!

[peteypete1984]

@wmdbassplayer im in my late 20's and everyday im in disbeleif that people around my age dont appreciate the music/tv/movies from the 90's i watched gigantor growing up as a kid n the 90's along the ren n stimpy beavis n butthead etc but cant understand why people settle for trash when the 60's 70's 80's n 90's music is amazing art started to die in music around the late 90's and was dead in 2000 nothing creates an atooshpere anymore n no one has any artistic integrity at all nowadays

[wmdbassplayer]

@peteypete1984 : Good comment, dude, but it's pretty much all generational. I'm sure that a lot of people that grew up with Koko the Clown, Betty Boop and Popeye (when they were new, of course) think that the cartoons of the late 50's and early 60's were crap. In the 80's there were a lot of movies made based on characters from the 40's and 50's and even earlier. Show the original to kids at the time and the first comment was usually, "It's in black and white, I don't want to see this."

[jerzy862]

@wmdbassplayer no offense but this looks to me like its about shit blowing up

[swedeseed]

this actually sounds like a good dickies track BEFORE they covered it

[Suzywriter]

I loved this program when I was a preschooler, but as an adult, the lyrics are amusing.

"Bigger that big, taller than tall

Quicker than quick, stronger than strong

Ready to fight for right

Against wroooooooong!"

[boredstudent]

Gigaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnntooo­ooorrrrr!!

[boredstudent]

the theme song is catchy. Gigaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaannnntooooooorrrrr!!!

[Dufunde]

it was not only that it was one of the original Animes of the anime world

[BLUFISH61]

yep, this theme is amongst the earliest of images my grey matter can recall; from the early 60's when I was a nipper. The '61' is a givaway. Amazing really that this clip exists in the digital world of 2008. Cheers FfB!

[gigantor21]

LOL This is relevant to my interests. ;)

[Adjectutor]

ROFL BEST OPENING EVER!!!

[sihingjimo]

Hey, thanks 4 puttin' this up..I watched it, way back when...thanks again!!

[vlasios]
