The 1980 reboot The New Adventures of Gigantor has arrived on Hulu, complete with both English dub and subtitle options. This 51-episode series revisits the classic super robot concept, following young Shotaro Kaneda as he commands the mighty Tetsujin 28 using a controller left by his deceased scientist father.
Produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha, the studio behind classics like Lupin the 3rd and Astro Boy, this iteration leans into episodic monster-of-the-week battles. Shotaro must prevent the powerful robot from falling into the wrong hands, as enemies frequently target the controller to turn Tetsujin 28 into a force of destruction.
With a 7.01 rating on MyAnimeList, The New Adventures of Gigantor offers a nostalgic dive into the super robot genre. Fans of classic mecha action and kaiju clashes will find plenty to enjoy in this complete series, now available to binge.
