Tetsujin 28-go info

I have two suggestions: 1. Separate pages for Tetsujin 28-go and Gigantor should be established, or 2. The main article should center around Tetsujin and feature Gigantor as a section. I'd like to know a lot more about the original Japanese show, and there is the fact that ADV has started to release the 2004 Tetsujin 28-go series in North America with the original Japanese names intact.

I second this; either way is good. In addition to the 2004 series, the live-action version has also been released here as "Tetsujin 28". Evan1975 21:55, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I´d like to point that there is a definite connection between Tetsujin and Giant Robo - something that is only hinted at on the article. Yokoyama was the author of both mangas. It is also worthy of note that the first featured a gladiator helmet on its head, whereas Giant Robot had its famous egiptian sphinx head.

gun to firearm

I changed the word gun to firearm in the sentence "Jimmy usually wears shorts and a jacket, and even carries a gun." I changed it voth for professional and link purposes. Gun is different from Firearm in professional use and I'm trying to make this as professional as possible, this as in wikipedia. It is even said that gun is often a word used for firearm but gun redirects to the heavy artillery and firearm redirects to the handheld , well firearm. I dont know if the word gun is used in the series, but if it is and this word seems more approprite then change it back but add a redirection to the link. user:Tyler Thibeaux

I'm catching up on Gigantor thanks to Adult Swim. In the end credits it includes "Based on characters created by Mitsuteru Yokoyama and Mary Shelley." Did they mean Mary "Frankenstein" Shelley? (Major props to Fred Ladd and company if they did!) --RevWaldo 02:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible. I think I seen the same episode and was wonderin something similar. I was watching the one with the Fang monster being free from jail and realized that the credits were filled with american names. So I checked here to see why.

Seems like they put Mary Shelley's name because of that Fang character and to make the anime more "american"?--69.236.85.188 13:04, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

___ The L.A. punk rock band the Dickies made a song about gigantor called 'Gigantor'. Maybe that should be mentioned in the trivia section or something.
