I just stumble there for...you know.. some kind of doodling reasons, and here he is, the "Goldorak" of our childhoods, french one too my childhood, like Regis, and under tons of japanese cartoons too, Goldorak (our spelling of it) and Saint Seiya ("Les chevaliers du zodiaque", for us) mostly won over every other one and the discussions on violence and such went as far as the parliament with some sort of a ban, and then for a couple of years less japanese cartoons on screen, til today and an impressive comeback with oldies and new ones... The fact is I've got that part-time quite benevolent job in a webzine and i had to make a full article over Go Nagai (he came in France last summer) to help, so don't know if you read french but still here's the link : http://orient-extreme.net/index.php?menu=mangas_animation&sub=artistes&article=392 I did a huuuuge amount of research for it (the footnotes are my pride...but no one reads them!!), took me more than i thought it would for a side-job ! Was really impressed by how cool the guy is in real life, not the father-god of so many historical cartoons ! Anyway, I enjoyed very much reading this piece of cartoonesque childhood by chance ! I look forwards your next episodes now ! Incredible !

Does that bring me back. I use to spend my summers in Calabria at my Grandmothers house and would watch the cartoons at 2pm while everyone slept. I wanted the toy robot so bad. Thanks for sharing that, great childhood memories. By the way I heard about you from my wife who belongs to the mothers group Marit and Fio go to. Beautiful watercolors with lots of soul. Nice to know there is another Italian artist in the neighborhood. Keep it up. Gianluca Manzinga!!!! Does that bring me back.

I think it got to Italy because of its success in France. Goldrake become such a huge hit (the media used the word "GoldrakeMania) that it opened the floodgates for all japanese animation to be shown on several italian stations, especially in the following decade. Eh eh ... that is some commitment to Getter Robot !!! :) Cool ... DanBernal- Thanks for sharing, I hadn't seen that show ... looks pretty nice! Gerald- Hope you enjoyed some of the youtube videos ... That Mazinkaiser OVA is pretty fun ... thanks for the link ... yeah I think they've tried to revive some of these old properties in the last few years ... no one seems to be as successful as Gundam though, they just keep on making new takes on that every year ... Regis- Great to hear about your experience watching Goldorak in France ... in Italy the name turned into Goldrake ... I was reading they made 74 episodes of it! Pretty amazing ... I sure don't remember that many ... I remember Angelo Branduardi quite well ... does he still make music? innocentgirl- Ah yes! Arale Chan was a hit in Italy too ... I'll have to make a post about the "comedy genre" ... :) E Jeremy- ah great to hear about your experience … you’re right about Mazinger being the first one Go Nagai created, but for some reason in Italy it all started with Ufo Robot Goldrake (Grandizer) in 1978 (30 years now).

In my case, it was when I lived in France, where it was called Goldorak, and to me the rocket drill punch was the attack of that show. I think I caught just the end of the 1970's giant robot generation you talk about, though I really grew up in Brazil, where we got tons of anime . Voltron was perhaps my first giant robot series, but Starblazers and Macross and the very unknown Zillion were perhaps the ones I watched the most. In the last five years or so I've pretty much caught up with all the 1970's anime goodness that I missed or was too young to understand, and Mobile Suit Gundam clearly stands the test of time... sooooo good! My favorite opening though is Getter Robo - the music and Isao Sasaki's voice are amazing. Coincidentally, I also touched upon some of that late 1970's early 1980's nostalgia on a recent post on my blog, where I actually talk about an Italian singer of that time, Angelo Branduardi. You can check it out on the link on my name. So, Happy Giant Robot Holidays! Ré Enrico,

Oh man, Grendizer… ah so many memories. In my case, it was when I lived in France, where it was called Goldorak, and to me the rocket drill punch was the attack of that show.

I grew up with Voltron and Robotech so those other titles were a bit difficult to find as a child. I'm ashamed to say I've never seen one episode of the titles you just mentioned. However, I ended up picking up the more current Mazinkaiser OVA series (2003) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp8XMyR1T6w&feature=related I'm sure it's nothing compared to the original. It will surely be fun to watch all these episodes on youtube over the holidays. And I'm sure I'll be sketching some of these robots afterwards! Cheers!
