Giant Robo (ジャイアントロボ, Jaianto Robo) is a Japanese manga series by Mitsuteru Yokoyama. The manga, which was first published in 1967, spawned a live-action tokusatsu television series of the same name , as well as a series of original video animations called Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still .
The game uses the same voice actors as the animation, though it takes presentation cues from the anime, the manga, as well as the kaiju film genre. On March 31, 2007, a feature-length film, entitled "Tetsujin 28-go: Hakuchu no Zangetsu" (which translates as "Tetsujin #28: The Daytime Moon") was released in Japanese theaters.

The first episode was released July 22, 1992 with the following three installments staying close to the proposed schedule of six months between releases. [ 1 ]
