Black Ox ブラックオックス Destroys Tokyo Tower

Watch how the mighty Black Ox appears in Tokyo to destroy its emblem, Tokyo Tower.

During the final days of World War II, the Japanese military is secretly developing a superweapon that will turn the tides of war and save the Japanese Empire. After twenty-seven failed attempts, the project gives fruit: a three-stories high, remote-controlled robot. The metal man is christened Tetsujin 28-go.

The war, however, is over. Rather than becoming the military's "ace in the hole", Tetsujin becomes a civilian robot. Under the control of Shotaro Kaneda, the twelve-year-old son of Tetsujin's developer, the iron giant is put to work stopping criminals and enemy robots.

I saw a Taiwanese version of the movie--up to the point where it froze and locked up my computer (when Shotaro uses the remote control during T-28's first battle with Black Ox)-- with literal subtitles interspersed withTaiwanese place- and people-names. Guess how pleased I was with that disc/version?

I've got a better version (I hope) coming to me from another source, this time a *reliable* one. I'll review the movie afterwards.

@RR0722 don't tell me, say that to the director Shin Togashi !

@liquidus2172 That didn't stop Bumblebee from ripping out Ravage's spine and other wonderful acts of child-friendly content in the Michael Bay Transformer movies.

@AgaiLazen collateral damage ! XD

@liquidus2172 Yeah, it's kinda funny that around the same time another Tetsujin series was aired on TV. It was MUCH more violent, viewing Tetsujin himself as more of a monster or weapon rather than a hero. In fact, Tetsujin has killed more people and done more property damage than Black Ox.

@AgaiLazen don't forget that this is a movie for kids too, so too much violence is not in order.

@liquidus2172 Still, his "rampage" is kinda disappointing, especially for Black Ox. Most robots tear a hole straight through a city, killing hundreds or thousands of innocent civillians, this is just a few acts of misdemeanor. Sure, folding Tokyo Tower into a pretzel may be an act of terrorism, but he could do worse.

@AgaiLazen Black Ox the master of the backstroke XD
