This anime is a remake of the 1970s Gaiking series and it actually kinda spoofs it a little which makes it more amusing to watch. Nothing better than animators poking fun at their counterparts. Contains plenty of parodies that you'd only catch if you're familiar with the older series.
Anyway it's listed as being only 26 episodes long and so far 26 episodes have been released, but anyone who's watched the "last" episode knows that the show is not over. There's no conclusion. Other websites I've searched on it only has a question mark listed for number of episodes. My guess is 26 were planned but somehow didn't really work out, so now everyone's in the dark about what's going on. I'm hoping it hasn't been dropped and that the long wait for the next episode is a result of last-minute planning.
I think it's really worth watching, especially if you're a fan of Gaiking or even mecha-type animes. I personally rate it at a 7 or an 8, but that's only because there's no ending as of yet. Might be higher if the series is given a decent finish.

I love the great mech from the 80's.
Gaiking was one of my favorites.
Is there a fansub of it that I can get, or do I need to order it?
Either way's fine with me. ^_^ _________________ [IMG:486:126:0059d8062b]http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/4739/blackguillotinesigadmj5.gif[/img:0059d8062b]

You mean the classic? As far as I know there are no fansubs, and no one's really selling any official releases. Some old ones, maybe. Classic Gaiking is one of those shows that no longer has a license attached to it since the company that produced it no longer exists and the company that licensed it way back when is also gone. No one else has picked it up. For this reason, it is legal to produce and sell this cartoon on your own which is why there are some individuals selling homemade DVD copies of the series and the movie on ebay. The best of them look like they've been ripped from very well-preserved VHS.
As far as I know, this is the only way to get this series as of right now (some of these guys produce the best quality you'll be able to get, and others are blatant rip-offs. Be sure to check out each person's feedback).
As for the new series, you can currently download them. The torrents are available from this site or you can go to another one like animesuki.com and it'll have them for you there, too.
