As a kid I was lucky enough to see this series in syndicated U.S. release on television. This was also the first time as a child I witnessed the concept of self sacrifice for a greater good. It hit hard. And even now today 40 + years later it still gets me in the feels. Like a gods damned hammer.

Today is my 57th birthday. And just like the first time I saw this, some time during the early 1970's, I cry. I cry, because Giant Robot is my friend. Has been since I was that child. When a friend dies, it hurts. So, I hurt. I salute you, Giant Robot! You showed what the greatest heroes do, when there is only one way to stop the evil.

And, out of the sky, the legendary Robot flys in to save the world. A new era of Giant Robot begins.......

I ran home from school to watch this show every day. I absolutely loved it in 1969 as a 6 yr old. This final episode was the first time I cried watching a show. At 60 I still mist up partly from the nostalgia of youth and the innocence of that time. I would think this could be Spielberged into a great movie. But he would hopefully keep Giant robots appearence the same but with modern effects and keep the heart of the original. Hey, they did transformers.

I instantly fell in love with Giant Robot and my brother who was 9 years old at the time was trying to explain to me that it was just a movie. I wasn't trying to hear it cause I had just witnessed my super hero dying. Still my all-time favorite monster movie of all monster movies.
This show is the first and only one that made me cry when I was a kid in regards to the ending. Throughout the show, I had many fond memories with my twin brother watching it with me.
Jamais esqueceremos esse clássico Robô Gigante. Tenho 53 anos e sinto-me criança ao ver novamente esse Herói de nossa infância. Jamais sairá de nossos corações.
My childhood memoris. My favorate tv show. Golden days.
Giant Robot was awesome.
I hope someone does a big screen adaptation. This vid brings back so many memories. I’ll never forget the theme music.
Sadly it would probably be Michael Bay and he would just ruin it. Some things are better left in the past than to let modern filmmakers get a hold of it.
I remember watching this on tv back in the 70s. The eye monster in this final episode really freaked me out as a kid!
Me too!
This was a must watch as a kid in the day and age. But as older, I get a kick out of the kids drinking up and getting drunk for New Years. We were not so up tight then.
How I dream to have a Robot 🤖 like this when I was a kid . Thank you Japan 🇯🇵 for good time good memories in my childhood , love ❤️ Japanese cartoons 👍🥳
Childhood memories rekindled once again. Love from India 💗✉✉💗✉✉💗
I was crushed by this ending. Ultraman ending was sad too, but at least he didn't die.
Thanks for sharing this unforgettable moment. I owe you a debt of gratitude. God bless you!
I loved this movie back in 1972 when it came on KTLA CH. 5 and cried like all the other kids. LoL It then appeared on T..V. again on UHF CH. 52 by 1977 as a series with 25 episodes. Last month i went to Amoeba Music in DTLA and picked up a boxed set of the series on DVD for $35.
Great memories. I loved this show as a kid and I too remember being quite sad when giant robot died. Hard to believe the show only lasted one year but it was a memorable one
I seen this show many times and I never got tired of it ,🤗
My childhood memories
Wow I'm old...this show 1st aired in Japan when I was 2 weeks old....
This made me so sad! I had a crush on Johnny!
I remember watching this as a kid, and crying when Giant Robot died. As a tribute, a made a styrofoam Giant Robot, I guess in some ways it helped me deal with my loss. :(
When this episode was telecasted i remember me and my friends crying like anything. This series had more impact on children back then as compared to cartoons
Still a sad ending all these decades later. It could have ended differently~!
I never missed any episode. I was so sad that day.
I remember as a kid, every year on the Family Film Festival with Tom Hatten. I remember he would start his film reel and this movie would play. Good times!
Cried then and cried now as well…love you Giant Robo…❤❤
I grew up watching this 1980 memories
1965 I was born Japanese people are the most kindest people I ever met they made good not Bad 😔
THIS IS OUR FAVORITE TV SHOW IN CHILDHOOD
They should make a new remake of Giant Robot with more powers and weapons fully at his disposal to save the earth once again:)!
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic
I'm 55 years old. I want this theme playing when they dump in the hole. 😭😭😭
The original robot to sacrifice themselves. Sad as shit.
We used to run back home like crazy to watch giant robot which was filmed only during summer vacations in afternoons in a program called fun time specially aired for small kids to keep them inside homes during afternoon. This was in eighties. Miss those days
This still gets me today.
This movie is awesome! The ending is sad.
They need to run these episodes on TV again
Absolutely! Sometimes they are on Saturday mornings on comet tv.
This wasn't a movie this was a TV show bro
The movie version was called voyage into space. It was a condensed version of the tv episodes.
I cried the first time I saw this movie. At the ripe old age of 55, this is STILL my all-time favorite monster movie!
I also cried when Giant Robot sacrificed himself to save earth from Emperor Guillotine. Back in the day.
I ran home from school to watch this show every day. I absolutely loved it in 1969 as a 6 yr old. This final episode was the first time I cried watching a show. At 60 I still mist up partly from the nostalgia of youth and the innocence of that time. I would think this could be Spielberged into a great movie. But he would hopefully keep Giant robots appearence the same but with modern effects and keep the heart of the original. Hey, they did transformers.
This is genuinely more heart wrenching than Ironman or recent Bond "deaths" by creating a genuine lump in the throat. Also was "predator or yajuta" inspired by "Guillotene"?
With Ultraman, he goes back to his planet after his blinker is destroyed. Here Giant Robot inspires the Iron Giant movie.
The dubbed voice of Guillotine sounds like veteran actor Keye Luke. Mr. Luke did a lot of voice over acting at the time, he had a distinctive voice fitting for wise men and villians.
No greater love than to lay down your life for a friend
Love this series Johnny Sokko along with Ultraman.... should've made more episodes though, thank you Comet TV for bringing this back to TV.
BEST MOVIE EVER MADE
You know i watched this as a kid and it made me cry! Can't believe today it still makes me sad i loved giant robot and ultraman💯
Johhny Sokko's Giant Robot deserved to make a cameo in the 1974 Gojira(Godzilla) movie 'The Terror of Mechagodzilla' .This would have been the best of motivating fans of Giant Robot who became sad after the protagonist die in the very last episode of the late 60s series.
But who knows when Jonny desperately needs him again perhaps like a miracle he will come back out of the sky.
Careful, that's how religions get started😊
The world could sure use Giant Robot now. Maybe someday, like a miracle.....
Yes yes yes, Channel 44 WSNS, Chicago, in the late 70s, early 80s, this was our shit right here!!!! Also on that channel was Spectre-man, Ultra-man, Space Giants👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍😃😃😃 Wonderful time to be a kid!
Ending still makes me cry.
I saw this as a kid and I cried and boo hooed so hard. Great show.
So cool👍
They don't have real heroes like this anymore
Long live Giant Robot
ALL HAIL EMPEROR GUILLOTINE✊😠
So good memories , i miss these days
WE NEED EVERY EPISODE! ALL OF IT,FIND THEM PLS.
U can see them on Comet TV each Sunday at 9:30 am. They have reran them to death for over a year now! They get boring after awhile.
There all on the internet archive(exept 2 episodes)
It's also on DVD just search on Amazon or Ebay.
My childhood favorite
This is like if the Toy Story 3 cast actually had died in the trash compactor scene! There was no happy ending here! And it was terrible to 7 year old version of myself! Giant Robot was my favorite superhero at that age! But still the best! They should remake it! With the modern CGI, it would be awesome!!
Good old memories
Yup, I’m 53 years old and this STILL sucks to watch a favorite character die. No closure or childhood loss of something endearing? Who can say, but maybe some day (when Johnny desperately needs him again) Giant Robot will be rebooted and come back out of the sky. 🫣
I miss my childhood!!!
I remember i uploaded my edit of this back in 2012..it had a million +views..sucks they monitized n removed it...itd be one of the best on here...The saddest day in nostalgic history! Damn you YT
Spaghetti Western + Kaiju Sci-Fi = Awesomeness.
I used to cry at the end when I was a kid and it still makes me sniffle and feel bad for the robot and the kid. I just did a little research and never realized the movie I'm familiar with "Voyage Into Space" is actually a subset of this series that I never watched. Thanks for sharing.
Sad ending. I felt very sad and in school the next morning, all friends were also very sad.
This is batter than any anime
These older Japanese Monster Movies always had a moral theme or life lessons that taught as you were entertained, Giant Robot came back to life and fought off the Alien Emperor Guillotine and his army of Nazi beatniks who looked really cool, and sacrificed himself to save Humanity from the Grips of an evil Tyrant, as a kid watching this in 1981 i was crushed and bowed my head took a deep breath, i cried inside and had always hoped by some miracle The Giant Robot would come back or somehow miraculously survived, Talk about Nostalgia
Thank you 😊💗
O sacrifício do Robô Gigante nunca mais foi esquecido,me lembro,foi emocionante e triste.
Giant Robot died most honorably. The first time I saw this series was in 1972. I thought it was great. Then I saw Ultraman, and, man, loved that too. But, this series ended heroically and possibly influenced the end of "The Iron Giant".
My childhood hero.
My favourite childhood TV serial,,,
As a 6 year old kid i cried watching GR sacrifice himself for the world 😢
日本中の子供達が泣いた最終回。
Okay, who had a tear in their eye admit it. Me? Yeah dammit! I had a tear, okay.
And so my childhood died as well from that time....unless you come back one day or il come to you.
I wish someone recreates this classic with proper CG work .
Once that whistling starts as he’s flying😭😭😭😭
