Giant Robo (ジャイアントãƒãƒœ, Jaianto Robo), is a tokusatsu, anime and manga series created by Mitsuteru Yokoyama.
Robots may be constructed on the lines of human form, but most robots are machines designed to perform a task with no regard to their aesthetics.
Tokusatsu (特撮, Tokusatsu) is a Japanese loanword which originally meant both “special effects” in general and more specifically, a genre of live-action Japanese entertainment, encompassing many subgenres of film and television; however, in non-Japanese languages, it only refers to the second definition.
