80's Anime TV show that was broadcasted in select parts of the U.S. as part of the Force Five weekly series. Each day of the week was a different anime cartoon, Gai King was Friday, I believe. Battle of the Planets (G-Force) was also part of this series.
I remember being in awe when, at the end of the series, you find out that Darius was the same size as Gaiking

Wow i watched in Providence during th late 70's. My fav was def Gaiking. I still remember seeing in the window of a store on Federal Hill that had the huge all metal gaiking and grandizer toys. They were like two feet tall, and shot the fists and rockets. Must be so rare, i wonder if any even exist.

Battle of the planets was not part of the force 5 series. Different animators and companies. Battle of the planets was also close to 10 years prior, I think. The 5 shows were, from monday to Friday: Danguard Ace, Starvengers, Spaceketeers, Grandizer, Gai King. I would love these to be available on DVD.

CFMT, channel 47 cable 4? I still have an unopened pack of Grandizer trading cards. I think there's still a piece of 30 year old bubble gum in there too.

My friend and I would have these long conversations on which of the Force Five shows was the best. God, I miss all those great cartoons. I lived in Somerville, MA and it was a great time to watch TV.

We used to get this in Ayer, Mass here in New England when I was a kid, I grew up watching all of these kick-ass animes long before America was bitten by the craze!
