Times of my life 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 (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. 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!
