Gigantor created by Mitsuteru Yokoyama

SUMMARY: Jimmy Sparks uses his giant robot Gigantor to fight evildoers.  The first 26 episodes were not dubbed 
because TCJ felt these were not as good as the later episodes.  The last thirteen episodes (or the second 
part of the Gigantor series) were not dubbed either, so the English dub is from episodes #27-83.  The color sequel 
series was dubbed for the Sci Fi Channel to air on its Cartoon Quest/Animation Station block.  It takes place a 
few years later with Jimmy Sparks and a new Gigantor robot.
