Giant Robo The Animation: The Day The Earth Stood Still is an OVA reimagining of Giant Robo and its Tokusatsu adaptation directed by Yasuhiro Imagawa, animated by Phoenix Entertainment, and released by Discotek Media. Originally planned to be finished in 3 years but taking twice as long, the series was released between 1992 and 1998 as seven episodes, each between 40 and 60 minutes long.An (unholy) amalgamation of Wuxia, Superheroes, Richard Wagner, Mecha Anime and pure insanity, Giant Robo: The Day The Earth Stood Still is notable for being an early and rather impressive example of the Massive Multiplayer Crossover, formed when Imagawa (Mobile Fighter G Gundam) was told that he couldn't use any of the supporting characters from the manga or TV versions of the Giant Robo story. Struck by inspiration, he instead decided to instead take characters from the rest of original creator Mitsuteru Yokoyama's work, including Babel II, Sally the Witch, Romance of the Three Kingdoms (1971), Kamen no Ninja Akakage and many others. To add to the effect he decided to draw them all in Yokoyama's classic 1960s style, along with a retro-futuristic world populated by Ninja, ancient Chinese warriors, Sharp Suited Businessmen and Badass Longcoats walking side by side.Oh and don't pay any attention to the synopsis above, or let the art style and Kid Hero fool you into thinking this is a kids' series in the vein of G.I. Joe or M.A.S.K.. Giant Robo's plot starts off slow and deceptively cliché-ridden, with a blatant Mad Scientist and McGuffin driving the first half of the plot, and then we get the Wham Episode, rewriting the entire premise, beating the snot out of the good guys and resulting in several major characters getting Killed Off for Real. It's not the first, or even the most dramatic.Imagawa also scripted a new Giant Robo manga, "The Day The Earth Burned" that started publication in 2006. While this version is also an Alternate Continuity, it does act as a Spiritual Successor to the OVAs, with the same tone and many of the same characters. The original manga has also recently become available on most major manga websites. Another anime series based on the Giant Robo franchise, GR: Giant Robo, was released in 2007, though doesn't build upon the continuity of the OVA or any other prior entries.See also: Shin Mazinger, another Super Robot series by Yasuhiro Imagawa. Like Giant Robo, it is a revival of a classic series and involves heavy crossover from the original artist's entire body of work. Alternatively, the 2004 Tetsujin 28 anime, also directed by Imagawa based on another famous Yokoyama story with similar design aesthetics and a few bits of Retroactive Recognition (The depiction of Kenji Murasame and Robo's "Gao" noise reused for Tetsujin's roar, most notably).

Empire with a Dark Secret
 Giant Robo / int_11dd3268
comment
Empire with a Dark Secret: In Giant Robo: The Day The Earth Stood Still, the Shizuma Drive, which provides clean, cheap energy, is completely recyclable and looks cool too was built upon a foundation of the deaths of billions at the Tragedy of Bashtarle. A little Locked Out of the Loop as well, seeing as Daisaku's the only character (except maybe Sunny) who doesn't know — it's just that we only find out when he does. St. Abbe is the largest Shizuma Drive power plant in the world, and supposedly capable of providing half the world's energy by itself. It is also built directly atop the ruins of Bashtarle, which was destroyed by experiments with the prototype Shizuma Drive. The Big Bad targets it for destruction with his Doomsday Device during the finale.

Poor Communication Kills
 Giant Robo / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: Interpol's decision to seal Giant Robo away immediately after the revelation of its nuclear power source, and especially Chuujo's ham-handed delivery of those orders serves no purpose except to frustrate and isolate Daisaku. The Big Fire Organization has a major internal communications problem, in which the only person who appears to know what's going on is the head strategist, who refuses to elucidate in the slightest and repeatedly appeals to the authority of Big Fire himself when questioned by the Big Ten, even as hundreds of Big Fire agents die as casualties of the Vogler Sphere. Probably one of the most brutal literal examples in any anime, If Franken Von Volger had come up with an easier way to communicate his plan with his son Genya before he passed away, rather than the overcomplicated means to reveal it with a rigged briefcase, Genya wouldn't have gone insane and many lives would have not been wasted for his war.

Mythology Gag
 Giant Robo / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Despite only loosely taking inspiration from the 1967 Giant Robo tokusatsu, there's a remarkable amount of visual and even some plot similarities: Giant Robo's Papa Wolf instincts in protecting Daisaku when he is in peril, much like how Robo was in the later episodes of the toku. The Eye of Volger being a robotic fusion between the Giant Robo kaiju, Ganmons and Glober. Robo's design being a muscular version of the tokusatsu design, rather than being based on the manga version like nearly every other Yokoyama character present Daisaku being 12 years old rather than being 18 years old like in the manga. In the Evolving Credits, GR-3's rocket missile decoration are based off of Giant Robo's finger missiles in the toku version, also doubling as an homage to Gunbuster. The manga only GR-4 being an homage to Calamity, the Evil Knockoff of Giant Robo from the toku. The symbol on GR's forehead being the shape of a Unicorn, which is also the name of the IPO equivalent in the toku version. Robo being a much slower, lumbering mech being similar to the weightier version of GR seen in the toku.

First and foremost, the Animaze dub gave Kenji Murasame a Gratuitous French accent in the first episode, because he first appeared investigating the murders of Shizuma's partners in Paris, and presumably the writers didn't know that he would be a recurring character. Over the years that the original series took to complete, Animaze stuck with their decision — and NYAV Post followed suit in their new dub.

Death is Cheap: It is very cheap for Murasame Kenji, since he just revives despite several violent deaths, and since he can apparently do so in an area he couldn't get to corporeally, it's part of his strategy. He even shoots himself in the head to drive home the point, noting that he "can't die."

Super Robot/Real Robot: The robots straddle the line. They are considered powerful enough that, even with World of Badass in play, no one wants to fight Robo one-on-one without a heavily stacked deck; on the other hand the organizational and maintenance issues they'd require is fleshed out and clearly just this side of 'impractical'. They're superweapons, and unless they're specifically built to take a hit the hand-to-hand fights don't last very long - take the complex snake-train robot being paralyzed after one hit in the first episode, for example.

Plot Hole: How, exactly, was the Vogler Sphere created, and by whom? If Vogler created the sphere, as his final recording indicates, how did he get the resources and the time required to do so, and did he really do it by himself as the story indicates? If Genya made it, how did he not know about his father's recording that was preprogrammed into the sphere, and thus, his father's intentions?

 Giant Robo / int_7fbb2a3

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Averted! Just barely, though. In the final episode you find out that the Shizuma drives were actually creating a poisonous gas that would have destroyed all life on earth within days of the events that make up the series. The anti-drive was actually created in order to eliminate this threat before it destroyed all known life. All of the "normal" drives would have reactivated once all of the anti-drives had been activated at once, modified to correct the flaw. At the last minute, despite the heroes' efforts all of the anti-drives were activated, thus saving the world.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Episode six and the first part of episode seven completely forget about Tetsugyu, which means he goes ignored during several very relevant conversations. It turns out he's alive after his Disney Death, but this opens Plot Holes about how he went from being crushed and abandoned in the mountains to appearing at the IPO base after Ginrei moved it to St. Abbe.

St. Abbe is the largest Shizuma Drive power plant in the world, and supposedly capable of providing half the world's energy by itself.

Episode five revises his intentions to claim he was deliberately setting up Daisaku to fail, which flies in the face of the shock and dismay he showed in episode three when Giant Robo actually lost the fight. Perhaps his shock came from realizing he effectively 'murdered' Daisaku's father figure just like how he accidently killed own father?

Irony: The Big Bad's plot to destroy the world technically succeeded, but wound up saving the world. Von Volger had tried to eliminate the new energy source because it was producing an undetectable poison gas that would wipe out all life on the planet after a certain point in time. The Eye of Volger was temporarily shutting down all of the energy cores in order to fix the poison gas problem.

Omake/Filler: The three Ginrei Special OVAs, ranging from a reasonably well-executed prequel Side Story to pure animated Crack Fic, were created to maintain interest and raise funds during the main OVA's production delays. Clip Show: Most of the first Ginrei OVA. Crossdresser: Somehow, "Ginrei the Mighty" comes up with an excuse to have all the Experts wearing Ginrei's trademark Chinese mini-dress. Also, the first Ginrei OVA has Murasamecompletely disguised as Ginrei for most of the episode. Evil Twin : Named "Electric Shock Rosa" by Alberto Fembot: The "Ginrei Robo". Go-Karting with Bowser: The Experts and the BF organization drinking together in "Ginrei the Mighty". Mood Whiplash: The third episode is completely serious Refuge in Audacity: Ok, so the main series is this, but the omakes take this to another level. We have things like Giant Robo nosebleeding gasoline at the sight of Ginrei naked, everyone dressing in Ginrei dresses, the below mentioned Victoria's Secret Compartment moment, Daisaku claiming to be 29 years old and divorced... Shout-Out: Ginrei Robo is a parody of Venus A from Great Mazinger, and Daisaku also gets to pilot an ersatz Tetsujin 28-go, revamped in the same way Giant Robo itself was in the OVA series. Daisaku even wears Shotaro's signature plaid jacket rather than his own drab grey while piloting the redesigned Tetsujin 28. Victoria's Secret Compartment: Ginrei pulls a full-sized bazooka from her cleavage in "Iron-armed Ginrei / Ginrei the Mighty". Wholesome Crossdresser: ALL OF THE (male members of the) IPO in Episode 2. And it is hilarious.

 Giant Robo / int_c6898a73
comment
Ret-Canon: The original Animaze dub of the OVA (for L.A. Hero and later Manga Entertainment) was influential on the subsequent dub that Media Blasters commissioned from NYAV Post, and on the fan perception of the series in general. First and foremost, the Animaze dub gave Kenji Murasame a Gratuitous French accent in the first episode, because he first appeared investigating the murders of Shizuma's partners in Paris, and presumably the writers didn't know that he would be a recurring character. Over the years that the original series took to complete, Animaze stuck with their decision — and NYAV Post followed suit in their new dub. The NYAV Post dub also included nods to other memorable lines from the older version, such as including "Allegiance or death!" in the Big Fire organization's Battle Cry.

Expy: Most characters of the OVA (who aren't from the original manga or anime) are Expys of Yokoyama's other works, such as: Taiso (Dai Zong), Tetsugyu ("Iron Ox"/Li Kui), Youshi (Yang Zhi), Kosonsho Issei (Gongsun Shen), Koushin (Huang Xin), Kaei (Hua Rong), Kaihou and Kaichin (Xie Bao and Xie Zhen), Shutsu (Zhou Tong), the Fishermen Brothers (Ruan Xiaoer, Xiaowu, Xiaoqi), Hanzui (Fan Rui), Richu (Li Zhong), Goyo (Wu Yong), Zangetsu (Han Tao) and Ko-Enshaku (Huyan Zhuo) all hail from Suikoden (Water Margin). Cho-Katsu Komei (Zhuge Liang) and Jujojii (Zhang Rang) are from Yokoyama Mitsuteru Sangokushi ("Records/Romance of the Three Kingdoms"). Big Fire (Babel II/Koichi Yamano), Achilles (Lodem), Garuda (Ropross), and Neptune (Poseidon) were originally created for Babel II. Also, Chujo the Silent, Cervantes, Fitzgerald and even Daisaku's father, Dr. Kusama, were modeled after various characters in the series. Chujo also doubling as Azuma from the Giant Robo manga, having a near identical design to that of Daisaku's middle aged mentor. Likewise, Alberto the Impact, Ivan and Kawarazaki first appeared in Mars. Sunny the Magician is the original name of Sally the Witch. Red Mask was originally from Kamen no Ninja Akakage, and he is the main protagonist in that series. Kenji Murasame is a Canon Immigrant from Tetsujin-28, and Dr. Vogler, Dr. Montalblan and Q Boss hail from there as well. Ginrei is from Sononawa 101 (a sequel to Babel II) and Okami no Seiza. Genya and Yuuki were both originally from Iga no Kagemaru.

In Giant Robo: The Day The Earth Stood Still, the Shizuma Drive, which provides clean, cheap energy, is completely recyclable and looks cool too was built upon a foundation of the deaths of billions at the Tragedy of Bashtarle. A little Locked Out of the Loop as well, seeing as Daisaku's the only character (except maybe Sunny) who doesn't know — it's just that we only find out when he does.
