Times of my life [1] has blogged about something I thought was lost after I grew up: Giant Robot.

Even though, this series was apparently most popular in the 70s, it was aired in my dear old DD [2] (India's only television channel till early 90s) in the late 80s - early 90s.

I remember fragments of the series mostly because I remember being scared by the robot and how threatening it looked but also enthralled by fights with godzilla and other mean creatures in Japan.

I never really bothered to find out about it and let it be a show that I once enjoyed till I saw the post on Times of My Life [3]. And I cant imagine, for the life of me, why I was afraid of the stupid looking robot (though there is some fun in watching the idiotic actions of the robot). Nevertheless, it still captures my attention - which is why I spent the last half an hour catching glimpses of it on youtube [4]!
