VOLTRON:
Voltron here, bringing you THE IRON GIANT. The year is 1958 and Sputnick is in all the papers. Hogarth is your typical American
boy who dreams of meeting real live aliens and watches monster movies all the time. But now a strange object has eaten his
TV arial, he discovers it's a giant robot of alien origin.
Though massive inside, the iron creature has a gentle heart, due to damage which I assumed happened on impact with the
Earth causing massive damage to his memory circuits, in more soap opera terms Amnesia. So that's the story, anime has a ton
of stories just like it. A boy and his giant robot. This has great aniamtion and doesn't pull it's punches away from death,
which is why it's PG. But it's fun and funny, with sad moments. But all and all a true buried treasure. THE IRON GIANT.
