The remake of the classic Gaiking generally stays true to the general aesthetic of classic Super Robot shows of the 70's. But there are subtle changes. The evil villains are not always so evil, and the heroes are never invincible; a simple final move away from winning the match.

Gaiking: kill monsters

Plot
E7: finding out the mysteries surrounding the Corallians
Gaiking: kill monsters
