[Gaiking] I’m watching the live stream on YouTube right now.

Japan Otaku Reviews+

It has a child-friendly vibe, including the ending corners, so I wonder if there were toys for this back then? Is it just that I don’t remember, or were there actually children’s toys?

Gaiking LEGEND OF DAIKU-MARYU (C) Toei Animation

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

There isn’t any, right?

So it was said to be a tax-saving anime?

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

When did Revoltech come out?

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Later on, there were releases for older fans, but nothing in three-dimensional form aimed at children has come out.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I don’t care.

I want to make a robot anime for kids.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ribo came out a considerable time after the broadcast ended.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I feel like there was a page where the screenwriter wrote about the chaotic drama of that time.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

There’s a story that after Ryukendo was fully completed, it sat for half a year, so it might be a fairly common occurrence.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

Could it be that the Moderoid is the first toy that can combine with Gaiking the Great?

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

In the early stages, it seems like there’s clearly not enough budget or time.

Somehow, animators gathered on their own…

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

Amazing robot drawings are coming out one after another!

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard it became popular in Taiwan.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

No matter how you look at it, the later OP doesn’t fit into 1 minute and 30 seconds.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bring out the Crab King too.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It was so seriously made, yet there were few broadcasting stations at the time, no merchandise was released, and there was no distribution, so it made me wonder what they were thinking.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

https://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/gaiking/tairiku/index.html

Can you release the toy in 3 months of preparation time?

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In the mid-2000s, it felt like robot anime remakes were solidifying.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a robot that clearly wants to be played with by mixing and combining, like a toy you would expect from something like “Liking-Bulking”…

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

To begin with, it had been a very long time since Toei made a robot anime.

I think it’s been since Getter Robo G on TV.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s really sad that the rival great didn’t come out in the draw.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

I didn’t know that Gaiking was such a monumental work that made that animator a thumbnail black hole…

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I might have thought about it back when we were making the pilot version.

It seems there wasn’t much time to spare since a sudden go-ahead was given to fill the gap left by the cancellation of Bobobo.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The original Gaiking was so popular that it became the main character when it was personified as a beautiful girl.

Until Mazinger Z and the others arrive

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I think it was this work that prompted Sanjo-san to become seriously involved with Toei.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because Gaiking is the first original robot anime by Toei Animation.

Mazinger and others are based on the original work by Dynamic Planning.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The story, regardless of the artwork, feels interesting from the very beginning.

This sudden push is amazing, Sanjo.

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s because it’s the follow-up program to Bobobo.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

The blog by Otsuka and Sanjo posted above is great to read as a supplementary material; in the first half, you’ll think, “I can’t believe this is happening…” and in the second half, you’ll feel, “These people look like they’re having an amazing time!”

Now there are proper Zaurugaizers.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like it’s been quite a while since Sanjou Riku worked on an anime script.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Making a story in three months is quite unreasonable…

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the preparation period including design and casting?

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I’ll say it straight here: this is my first time writing a television program script.

I have occasionally worked on OVAs and have written manga originals in script format, but this is my first challenge with a TV anime, where I am the main writer.

Were there any other programs like that?

Scary…

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Not having time must really be serious.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

Before that, there was the Gaiking NEO project, right?

Just the PV one.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

https://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/gaiking/tairiku/0602.html

There are countless absurd stories, and they’re incredibly interesting.

I was thinking of quoting it, but it’s better to read it directly!

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

You’re streaming because you’re appearing with voice on Y, right…? That’s how it is, right…?

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if I was targeted because I was nearby for supervision since the Bito anime was just airing…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

It would be nice to have participated, wouldn’t it?

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Today’s Gaiking was interesting, wasn’t it?

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

The story about how I put too much effort into the animation and got scolded by a big shot for making it look like I was creating a theatrical film was funny.

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Battleship-themed robot anime is great, isn’t it?

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was half-asleep in the morning when the Northern battle’s face-off suddenly started, and it literally woke me up.

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The circumstances leading up to the start of Bobobo are also ridiculous.

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s awful that NEO suddenly added the letters “NEO” during editing just two days before the release.

76: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The first original robot anime I created was Gaiking.

Gaiking is quite loved, you know.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really liked the battle against the ranking in the middle part.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Did you make the theme song in about a month?

That magnificent intro and the cool lyrics…

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

The current Super Robot Wars doesn’t sell that well domestically, so I don’t feel there’s much in terms of advertising.

It might be a chance to bring out three-dimensional objects.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like they think we can make an anime in just a week, which is completely unreasonable.

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Every time the intro of GAIKING plays and the counterattack begins, I get so fired up, it’s frustrating…

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it episode 13 that bursts out…?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember that the episode I first saw when it aired was the one that praised the capital.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought the insert song “Gaigai Gagagai” was, as expected, done half-heartedly.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that time, Toei’s schedule was apparently so chaotic that animators would say things like, “After all the drawing work for the Doraemon movie was finished, the drawing meetings for the spring Precure movie that was released at the same time began.”

Who would have thought that it would now lead to perfect package broadcasting?

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Though the successor character to Tomoko Kawakami is varied, when I hear Lulu’s voice, I think someone like Yukari Tamura might fit well.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

The design is aimed at children, but due to the relaxed child-friendly considerations of the sponsors, there are some tricks that allow for slightly more intense depictions…!

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was a composition I had seen in Gridman, and then I saw the names Hiroki Mutaguchi and Tetsu Amemiya.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

The broadcast came out in 2005, Super Robot Wars was released in 2009, and Reboute came out in 2007.

I have a memory of quite a few people wondering, “Were they doing something like this every time there was an expansion?”

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think they have released some, but there isn’t a definitive toy that can be called the ultimate version, like Gaiking or Gaiking the Great.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

I already love Lee quite a bit, and I’ve heard that his stock will go up about 3 or 4 more times from here, which scares me.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wait, did they really do three whole seasons without any toy line?

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It got increasingly interesting, and I looked forward to watching it every week.

It was awesome and I got really excited!

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Each enemy executive commands the Iron Beast Corps! Beast Demon Legion! Giant Division! Infinite Fleet! It was a complete mess and not good at all.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love The Great, but I also love Sky Buster Kani King.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like to cool down with a kaikin after getting too hyped up in The Great.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bikkuriman was also interesting.

Also, there will probably be some developments that resonate with certain unnamed individuals.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are quite a few works I want to see participate besides K.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was still before being sent off early in the morning, so there was a bit of presence even during real-time.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the evaluation in the latter half will change significantly based on whether one can endure how much of a proist it is.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

He’s a cool boy with a strong core.

Because of this, it causes concern for those around me and serves as a motivation to become competent, making it quite significant.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

Asatarou was interesting too.

I was doing a solid period drama.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

Saspage and Noza already have character designs that make you go “I like it…” in the first meeting, right?

115: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

How are you going to arrange the face open like that?! From there.

The Final Boss’s Thing

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

The amazing power of being quadrupled and then multiplied by ten is great, isn’t it?

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

Initially, 10:50 on Saturday is a strange time.

From the second quarter, at 6:30 AM.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it was a follow-up to Bobobo, it started without any sponsors at first because of that.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

Steel God Jig and others are from a similar era, and this was a time when expectations for remakes were high.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

Although there are 47 companions in the song, how many are there in the end?

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

I quite like Killjagger.

I want a toy.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

The leader firmly carries on the tradition of Darius, which is the most important thing.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

Katuyuki Sumi was really helpful in bringing in various veterans as scriptwriters.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

I knew that Bobobo was crazy in its production, but Gaiking LoD is also pretty crazy…

134: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

At that time, Kaneda was participating under a pseudonym because he was receiving a penis from Square Enix.

It was clearly Kaneda style that anyone could recognize at first glance.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can hear Dad’s voice (he’s Dad, but not really Dad).

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

Before going to the special effects show later, Sanjo, the Gegege no Kitaro we were watching was also great, wasn’t it?

147: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Bobo is really causing trouble all over the place…

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it was only airing on TV Asahi and one or two local stations, it didn’t have that much nationwide recognition, so I was pretty surprised when it participated in Super Robot Wars.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m happy about the release, but maybe a pace of about two episodes a week would have been better…?

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is a possibility that there is meaning in doing it at this pace.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it true that I have the same catchphrase as mom…? Does that mean the captain is actually dad!!????

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

The early-game trump card becomes useless as something more convenient appears… or so I thought! Weak as I am to developments like that, my brain was completely fried during the final battle.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t mean to say this lightly, but I really think Tohru Okawa from this time is incredibly cool.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Dad just committing fraud and then dying?

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

From Dia’s perspective, it’s not clear, but on the day of the accident, Galis was already the captain, so it’s not Father.

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was Dad a prisoner of war?

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have a memory that my father’s colleague was a super veteran voice actor.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a drinking party! Now’s the time to voice our demands! The voice actors crashing in are too entertaining.

174: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I can hear Dad’s voice (it definitely sounds like Dad, but it’s not him).

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

He’s not Diamond’s father, but he is still a father…

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since I will become your stepfather, I am essentially your father.
