For all my giant robot lovers, you should not be sleeping on this weekly series of blog retrospectives over at RMWC Reviews. This is a history of giant robots in Japanese media, from the emergence of the giant robot itself to the tropes that emerged over time as each show or film tried to compete and distinguish itself. This is a new series (as of this post), on Sundays, so you can catch up fast since it just started this month.
And this Sunday's post on The Mysterians shows that the 60s were the time when giant robots in Japanese media were still a thing not strictly defined like they are now. Expect that to change when we get to the '70s and the codification of Super Robots hits like a Big Bang Punch.
