Gaiking

Gaiking

 

\

Daikyuu Maryuu Gaiking (In English "Giant Sky Demon Dragon Gaiking") was a Super Robot mecha anime series produced by Toei Animation on an original idea by Akio Sugino (not Go Nagai, contrary to legend, even though his company, Dynamic Productions, co-produced the show from Episode 22 on, but he had no direct involvement), which ran from April 1976 through January 1977 and consisted of 44 26-minute episodes. Gaiking was notable for being perhaps the only show of its kind (besides GoShogun) to take place in real places outside of Japan, and for being the first Super Robot series to have a mobile carrier for the chief robots.

 

Gaiking chronicled Earth's struggle against a looming invasion by the people of the planet Zala, which was about to be swallowed by a black hole. Desperate to maintain their civilization, the leaders of Zala made plans to secretly overtake Earth for their preservation.

A few Earth people caught onto the invasion and built a powerful robot called Gaiking, their only hope to protect themselves. The Gaiking Super Dragon was piloted by Ares Astronopolis, a former major league pitcher who now used his telekinetic abilities to fight evil.
