Gigantor: Struggle at the South Pole

from Hitting Play · host Hitting Play Show

Join Lily, Shawn, Scott, and a special guest, Shawn's brother Dan, as they breakdown the first episode of the 1960's Japanese animated export: Gigantor! Listen as they discuss its origins in manga, Dan's childhood fondness of it, its transformation from a popular anime to a confusing "westernized" cartoon, and its multitudinous array of hilarious flaws. Can Gigantor think for himself? Why is only Jimmy allowed to wield such great power? Does hot water freeze faster? They'll take on all of these questions, and many more. Gigantor! Gigantor! Gigaaa-aaa-aaan-torrr!
