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.
