The last super robot of the 70s by Nagai. You'll notice that it's not produced by Toei while Nagai is only credited as supervisor. It's said that the original work was done by him. This show wasn't as popular as other Nagai series but it had its fanatics. The anime has received some success in Italy and particularly Brazil. The show also aired in Taiwan. This series has lot of sad and dramatic moments, but the saddest part about it is that it was produced by none other than Knack, who was pretty much one of the worst, if not the worst anime studio that existed in the 70s. (Also responsible for Chargeman Ken, Govarian etc)
