Glacier Warrior Gaislugger Complete DVD Toru Furuya (starring) Akira Kamiya (starring) Format: DVD
Comment
This is the first anime series produced by Toei and Shotaro Ishimori (now Ishinomori), who have produced numerous live-action hero programs prior to Cyborg 009 in 1979. The series is full of themes and motifs common to many of Ishimori's works, such as the sorrow of the cybanoids, who are both human and not human, human and not human, and the ruins of ancient civilizations that remain around the world. The chief director is Noboru Ishiguro, known for Space Battleship Yamato and Super Dimension Fortress Macross. The scriptwriting team is made up of veterans such as Tsuji Masaki, Fujikawa Keisuke, Ando Toyohiro, and Yukimuro Shunichi, and there are many masterpieces, such as the episode about the cyber-like dog Jiro who unknowingly kills his lover who is being controlled by the enemy (Episode 10 "Jiro Barks at Dawn"), and the episode about a girl who wishes to return to her hometown even though she knows she will be killed (Episode 16 "Yuko's Feather Robe"). For anime enthusiasts, the fact that Studio Z, including Kindaichi Isao, participated in the animation in two episodes, Episode 15 and Episode 19, is also a big highlight.
Story
A mysterious flying object attacks Dr. Shiki of the Antarctic Research Expedition. It is the vanguard of the Inbem Solar System Army, which is plotting to invade Earth. At that time, a huge spaceship appears from the bottom of the ice and saves the doctor from peril. There are five men and women on board. They are cyber-like warriors called Gaisluggers, created by the Solon Kingdom, which boasted an advanced civilization 30,000 years ago, to counter the invasion of Inbem. The five are shocked to learn that their beloved homeland has been destroyed during their long cryosleep. However, with their far more advanced scientific capabilities, they are the only ones who can stand against the Inbem army, which has set its sights on Earth once again. The timeless battle of the fallen warrior Gaislugger begins now!
