GIGANTOR

[@kimtowner3473]

I'm now 68 years old, and I still remember coming home from school and watching both GIGANTOR and Speed Racer on the tube.

[@wolfstar_productions]

67 here, I am there with you. Another of the time was Prince Planet.

[@TheShootist]

and George Reeves Superman and Astro Boy

[@thurmanjackson8026]

Man,, this was my number one favorite cartoon. I could not wait to get home from school to watch this. I am 60 years old and i remember it like it was yesterday. I use to love to sing the opening song!!Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha!!

[@shibolinemress8913]

Same here! I'd run around the house with arms outstretched like I was flying, singing the theme on a loop, and driving my parents nuts! 😂

[@tomfulop2304]

It was my number two behind Prince Planet!! 😂

[@warrenmackay9745]

I used to watch Gigantor as well. A classic cartoon that is timeless.

[@reginacaporn]

Me too

[@greeleyman]

Gigantor was my favorite cartoon when I was a kid in the 60s. First time watching in over 50 years!

[@robyn3122]

Same here great times

[@kingslaughter6362]

I'm 58 years old I used to watch this as a kid LOL

[@sherrib4168]

Kim Slaughter, ME TOO. it's strange, I was at work the other day sitting at my desk minding my own business, and out of nowhere,this song GIGANTOR with the voices pops into my head. I'm 57 yrs old and I remember it.

[@edsmith3461-z7m]

I'm 53 and I watched it too, in the early 70's.

[@hugejohnson5011]

54, and it was on as reruns or such, but I wouldn't watch as a kid! I was picky with T.V. LOL!

[@hugejohnson5011]

@Robbie Presley Why? Did you hide in the house those years because of polio? Or did the little handicapped girl next door beat your ass?

[@excelsciors]

I loved this cartoon. My co-workers called Gigantor a giant trash can!

[@Jay-fl8zi]

I'm 71 and remember getting out of 5th grade and headed Straight home to watch Gigantor, Astro Boy, The Submariner, Tobor the 8th Man, The Hulk, Superman, and the Amazing Three. My mom always had a sandwich, a Pepsi, and some chips waiting for me. One of the true golden times of my life. Thank -you for a walk down memory lane.😊

[@ElAviadorNegro]

Fond memories of rushing home after school to grab a big, sloppy PB&J and plop down before our B&W TV to catch Gigantor on the old UHF channel 52.

[@michaelmendillo7513]

I was a kid with a spoon in my hand, a bowl of cereal in front of me, and just glued to this back in the day. !!!! It was the last cartoon to watch before heading off to school,, unbelievable how time flies. !!!! 😎✌✝💕

[@vicki2575]

Yep, before running out to school!

[@michaelmendillo7513]

I loved this too along with Prince Planet and Astroboy and Marineboy and Shintaro and thePhantom Agents. Lovedhowallthedialogwouldruntogetherwiththecharactersspeakingliketheywouldnot takeabreathasonecharacterfinishedthenextonewouldcontinue. Great post thanks.

[@anonymousx1101]

Speed racer was like that, too.

[@abc64pan]

When you are a kid, there's no such thing as bad quality, everything looks good and Gigantor among the countless animated series I used to watch growing up, is no exception. Still, it warms me with nostalgia to see it again for the first time since the late seventies.

[@eejdmrj3hw]

Considering when/where it was made and the fact that it created the mecha sub-genre of anime, I would say at least historically, it has good quality

[@robmlisanti]

My Favorite show as a child

[@davidsmith1162]

My Favorite Robot Growing Up. Go One On One Against GIGANTOR, Good Luck, You'll Need It.

[@michaelcarson4548]

Love Gigantor! My brother's favorite cartoon growing up in the '60's!

[@boriskrost4717]

Wow! These were the good old days of awesome cartoons! I remember this one well.

[@dpruett4]

OMG!! The bygone days of my youth!!!

[@kevinwollenweber340]

Warner Brothers released the entire classic series on two fantastic volumes in the 1990's. Brought back a lot of memories of watching these episodes each night along with some of America's best classic animation on local New York TV. So many hours of truly fun TV!

[@johndonny443]

I used to come home from school and watch Gigantor. Speed Racer and Giant Robot. It didn't get any better then that for a 6 yr old in 1970🙂

[@myfavoritegroovy]

Thank you so much for posting! I used to watch this all the time when I was a kid back in the 60's! Brings back wonderful memories of times that are far away & no more.... :-/

[@sentimentalbloke185]

The old whale disguised as a submarine gambit. Diabolical, but brilliant.

[@higgyhigglett1563]

I’m a 90’s kid, and I grew up with this cartoon. I can’t remember what station played it, but my dad would watch it with me when I was feeling glum. So many fond memories. Thank you.

[@Aussietari]

1. of the first Anime cartoons we got in 🇦🇺Australia, in the 1960's when I was a Child. Just Loved Gigantor, Astro Boy, &. Prince Planet.😊

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

All these cartoons had the jazziest music.

[@GilbertFernandez-u3s]

Gigantor is my favorite cartoon of all time! There was a time, probably back in the late 60s, or early 70s, when I knew just about every episode of this cartoon! No one could pull me away from the TV, or change the channel, if they did, I would have a fit! My siblings hated me! I was the youngest one! I used to think my father was Gigantor, when I was a child. When he was a little older, he was a little round like Gigantor. His watchband reminded me of Gigantor's bands he had on his wrists. Gigantor was my childhood hero, my father was my hero all the days when he was alive! He's still my hero, for all the days that I still live. That's why this cartoon means so much to me! I'm 61 years old now, will be 62 this May. Long live Gigantor!

[@bemyvalentine320]

Thanks for sharing this! I watched Gigantor when it was first shown on TV...it is great to see it again.

[@Anthony-n9k8q]

Greatest cartoon of all time. Growing up in Long Beach, CA in the 60's. Miss those great days

[@caitlin7513]

In my 20's and 30's I asked everyone if they had seen this show. I thought I was going crazy until Rosie O'Donnell mentioned it on her show. I was vindicated, lol!!

[@Dadibear62]

As a kid, I used to sing the theme song and run around our house.

[@Heshem_Joel]

Grew up watching this robot and love it. Thanks Allen4870 and You Tube. You make things that I thought were no more return, great joy for me.

[@jonathankieranwriter]

When we were kids, my best friend and I competed to see who could make the best "Gigantor" in the backyard out of junk and old cans and crap. Summers seemed to last forever when we were 7 years old.

[@MarcG7424]

My Favorite cartoon as a kid wasn't on long enough

[@powersjpn7907]

I used to hurry home lickity split after school so I didn't miss Gigantor on our B&W cheap arse TV Lol

[@chanodee4479]

me too.i never missed an episode

[@therazband3007]

Loved Gigantor as little boy in the mid 60’s

[@Mark_Ocain]

Dick Strong? ...really? lol I missed that double entendre as a kid. I loved this show. I used to show this with Prince Planet, Marine Boy, Astro Boy, Shintaro and other Japanese gems before the Super Flying FunShow of a morning in Australia

[@markbaker4708]

I remember it to, mainly because of the tune Gigantor the famous Robot . I wondered if I had imagined that Robot with a pointy nose one of my earliest memories along with Tinker and Taylor another children programme on Saturdays I think! Mark X

Shipwrecked in Antarctic waters, complains about being "kinda cold." LIKE A BOSS

It's a cartoon.

[@robyn3122]

I've been trying to get someone to know Gigantor as it's the first memory of a cartoon I have and good old KZbin has helped me. I even did the arm thing like him😍

I used to watch this with Ultraman speed racer in channel 52 LA CA im 56 now& this brings back 💯 memories 💯 thank you for this!

[@Fattboy59]

I remember this as a kid in the 60s. Seems the same type of artwork as Speed racer. But this predates Speed racer.

[@jimstanhope]

Loved this cartoon as a kid in Scotland. Was probably around 7-10... Had no idea it was Japanese... Had obviously never heard of Manga at that time. My kids were getting into it in their teens............... Who knew I'd beaten them by some 25years?

[@Distrakt]

One of my favorites!

[@johntoothilljr.5328]

I loved this show when I was a wee lad.

Cool guy!

[@EfremFlanagan]

Yesssss my childhood memories run home from school in the seventies the best cartoons EVER

[@danielhunter2154]

My very favorite cartoon when I was growing up coney Island NYC.

[@mightymeatmonsta]

Wow, this is unbelievable. I remember watching this, Speed Racer, and fucking SUPER CAR (which i have the original album) on tv. How many of you remember Super car?? Does this bring back memories for everyone else like it does for me? LOL These japanese cartoons were so cheesy, but were also so enjoyable. This was the beginning of the era of japanese cartoons.

[@anonymousx1101]

Ah, yes, they never were really popular untill "Astroboy" became an anime series. Almost every anime since then was either directly inspired by astroboy and so enjoyed sucess, or indirectly so.

[@mightymeatmonsta]

@@anonymousx1101 True, but let's not forget the other shows, such as SUPERCAR, SPEED RACER and others that completed the Saturday morning lineup.

[@donnamurphy8278]

I lpve this cartoon brings back good memories

[@HDLifter]

Gigantor, Space Ace, and Prince Planet were my favourite after school treats.

This is the best scifi since the incredibles show up

[@bruesta]

Like Johnny n Buzz,I remember all the old cartoons n sitting in front of a kero heater(electric one came later) plus we had bungers, slug guns, slingshots and all the rest back then.

[@TheDGSexperience]

life was good then

[@johntoothilljr.5328]

TheDGSexperience A men Bro!

[@abc64pan]

+TheDGSexperience Looking at the kind of toys available to kids today, little do they know that they are being cheated. What we had was far better and mostly interactive too; you had to challenge your mind and your body to play with toys back in the day.

[@TheDeadKennedys]

I like Gigantor.

[@theimprovman]

A little GPS, and CatsMeow was toast. Wonderful memories.

I'm 58, in '72 I was like 7, saw atop a shelf(friend's house) action figure of Gigantor, I'm so heartbroken not touching it😢..... today it may worth a lot

[@feqqet]

my fav cartoon as a kid, thanks

[@JohannRosario1]

When you are 6, 7 or 8 years old, television is in black and white, and there are only 13 good channels, this becomes the hi-light of your day, especially with chaos on the streets of New York City and a world at war. Everything was huge and wondrous back then. We took nothing for granted.

[@peteprutzos1536]

Great memories !!!!!!!!

[@BrianCenti-j4d]

This, kimba, marine boy, king Kong and speed racer were it for me as a kid. It was so bad for me that I would sit and wait for thr TV to come on to watch this.😅

[@superfly07]

Wow the cartoon episode was based in the year 2000...

[@GenoCuddy]

All Gigantor episodes were.

[@anonymousx1101]

And not just gigantor...

[@JoeyWhite727]

They nailed it, looks just like 2000 did

[@emekaoji2807]

Saw this on the TV channels in Lagos Nigeria early 70's

[@Macirop]

Assistia quando bem pequeno no início dos anos 70 e me lembro de 2 episódios : um que a mãe do menino vai embora num navio e o outro com uns insetos gigantes ( o que me fez brincar com insetos ) . Grandes desenhos japoneses dos anos 60 e 70 .

“I hate to leave, but I’m cold” no idea why that had me laughing so hard

[@ciontachthecthonicchampion3576]

Man. This is actually pretty good. I was expecting something really goofy simplistic and harmless. The plot is decent. Animation is better than I expected and must have been amazing for the time. If I was a kid back then, I’d definitely be into this.

[@DarkReaper2597]

I just now came across this (and before that the theme song....to which I listened to a few times until stumbling here) this is quite the show here...never knew this existed....
