----------------------------------------
I loved Giant Robo (from the nineties) so was super hyped go get into this. Though I haven't seen the original Tetsujin one can tell that it's playing off of nostalgia. I'm very interested in the post-WW2 Japan construction period. Particularly, when it showcases the ingenuity and ideas (at least metaphorically) that allowed the nation to thrive.

Very nice introduction episode, really sets up the premise really well, hope the later episodes can be better. 4/5.

really like the visuals and style. I will say how some scenes moved kind of made some parts hard to follow.

The one that inspired Akira's character names.
The unfinished Tokyo Tower, symbolising Japan's economic progress got wrecked by a WWII relic.
I forgot so much about this series I left incomplete in the 2010s. I'm glad to see this Ocean-dubbed series rescued.

Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022
