Kikaider - Description/Synopsis
\\\"The anime is about an ultimate robot machine, Jiro or Kikaider, created by the Doctor Komyoji, who is a reluctant assistant to the evil Professor Gill. Jiro, though a robot, has something called the Gemini system, which is like his heart. But the Gemini has a problem telling good orders from ones, and that is dangerous. The Gemini is a powerful and threatening system, and so Gill sends out robots to destroy Jiro. Komyoji is not really an employer of Professor Gill but was forced to work and build robots for some unknown reason. He was so stuck in his work, that he neglected his family. Later, Komyoji\\\'s daughter, Mitsuko, seeks out for the Gemini\\\'s blueprints to fix it. When she finally finds Jiro, and brings him inside her house, she tries to find another way to fix him, but her database in her computer tells her that the only way to help him is destruction. Jiro and her have a talk outside and after an arguement and hurt feelings, Jiro saves Mitsuko from another robot that was after him and leaves her, knowing little of the real world, himself, and what to do, since a robot has no home, no one to protect, or has no one to love. Jiro, after he leaves, arrives in the city and encounters another robot made by the same creator, and they fight. Mitsuko hires a detective to find Jiro and the detectives, along with his assistant look for him. The detective finaly finds him but sees him as a robot, not a human image. After being saved by Kikaider, the detective demands the true idendity of Jiro from Mitsuko. The series continues with Jiro running from Mitsuko and trying to find a way to become human. Mitsuko realizes that she is the only one who looks at Jiro as a human, and though she despises robots for causing lonliness, she has developed feelings for Jiro which she refuses to accept. Jiro runs away constantly from Mitsuko because he is ashamed of being a robot, and he loves Mitsuko and doesn\\\'t want her to see him as a monster and a mad machine. They find one another from time to time, but other robots always bring them apart. Later on in the series, another robot similar to Jiro confronts him. They are like brothers of the same kind. His name is Ichiro, and they team up to defeat Professor Gill. The main objective of this anime is Jiro defeating Professor Gill\\\'s plans and trying to become a real human. I haven\\\'t seen the end, but I think its a great anime with a sad plot of romance and determination.\\\"

A Jaw-dropping masterpiece!
This anime is an old school masterpiece by Shotaro Ishinomori sure it may have its ups and downs some of the time but its has a well-developed plot and characters. Animation maybe a little bit old school but thats how most old-school anime fans like theirs. All and all Kikaider is a good, solid anime so check this out sometime I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
