VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO Grendizer is a cultural icon in many countries, especially in France, where it was known as 'Goldorak', Italy (Goldrake) and the Middle East. Anime boomed in popularity thanks to the show in those countries. The show also featured the talented Shingo Araki as one of the two character designers, Tomoharu Katsumata, Toei veteran as director, and the theme song by Isao Sasaki, who did many theme songs for shows at the time especially super robot ones. Grendizer was also part of Jim Terry's Force Five which aired around a quarter of the series in the U.S.A.
