Space Giants was easily the most mind altering of the live action Japanese
shows (nothing against Ultra Man or Specter Man). It was also created by
Osamu Tezuka, creator of (ahem) Astroboy!! Most of the tapes I see in
circulation are of pretty rough quality, but I keep hearing there are some
which are pretty good, so I'm keeping my eyes open.
