Giant Robo
—by Charles McCarter

Followup to the previous review in EX 3.2:

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. Emmanuelle, son of the late Dr. Vogler, is keeping the IPO at bay single-handed. But his reasons, it is revealed, are his own. As the Big Ten start to fight amongst themselves, things unravel even further. Daisaku must now decide what to do. Does he stand and fight, when they have already lost so much, or does he turn away?
  The quality of this, the final installment of GIANT ROBO, is equal to that of its predecessors. The music is stirring and evocative, and helps to bring to life not only the physical battles but also the emotional struggles of the characters as they all play out their parts in the final act of this tragedy.
  The animation is riveting, and beautifully done. Imagawa may take a long time to finish a series, but he certainly gets amazing results. If you've been following GIANT ROBO over the years, you really need to see the final episode to see how it all ends. If it's been too long since you've last seen this, however, you may want to watch the last few episodes over again so you remember exactly what's going on. This last installment of GIANT ROBO was worth waiting for.
