Tetsujin 28

Sinopsys:

Dr.Kaneda was developing experimental giant robot warriors to fight the allies during the Second World War, but before his creations could see action, Allied bombs destroyed the facility and killed him. A decade later criminals discovered two of the surviving prototypes, #26 and 27 in the series, and used the remote controlled robots to commit a number of crimes. Young Shotaro Haneda, the twelve year old son of Dr.Haneda, did some investigating and discovered that the mob were hunting for the twenty-eighth robot in the series, rumoured to be the most powerful of them all. Racing the villains, Shotaro discovers the robot first, along with Dr.Shikashima, a colleague of his father's who was also believed killed by the Allied bombing. Together the two prevent Tetusjin-28 (the robot's official designation) from falling into the hands of the bad guys, and decide to dedicate him to peace rather than war.

Shotaro fought crime for a long time, supported by Dr.Shikashima, who would repair Tetsujin-28 when he was damaged, and by police officer Otsuka.

When talking about "Remake" nowadays the first thing that comes to mind is whether it will be faithful to the original material, although I did not watch the 1963 one, I think this Remake can be as good as the same. Tetsujin is undoubtedly one of the best wicks I have ever seen and not to mention that he is the father of wicks.

In addition to the references about the WWll / Cold War, I find it quite interesting that the fact that they explored the topic "artificial intelligence" made the story even more interesting, which is a branch of computer science research that seeks, through computational symbols, to build mechanisms and / or devices that simulate the human being's ability to think, solve problems, that is, to be intelligent. The study and development of this branch of research began in the Second World War. The main creators were the following scientists: Hebert Simon, Allen Newell, John McCarthy and several others, who with common goals had the intention of creating a "being" that simulated the life of the human being.

The A.I. study began in the 1950s with scientists Hebert Simon, Allen Newell, these were the pioneers when they created the first artificial intelligence laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University.

The first part brings us very simple arcs, but the general work is directed to larger arcs that are explored in much more detail in the second half. As stated earlier, the series is very similar to the film noir - with Shotaro playing the role of the private detective character. The second half of the anime is sensational, the plots are very well written and the way in which they are clarified is very good. Tetsujin's most important point is undoubtedly the cast, which is very good, the characters are charismatic and make the viewer more captivated to carefully follow every detail that the anime proposes. The soundtrack composed by Akira Senju is sensational!

Animation: Well, I'm not that demanding when it comes to animation, but I think the most important thing about how the story is executed and Tetsujin's is perfect. Director Yasuhiro Imagawa's work is impeccable, even without watching the old series it is clear to see how he manages to keep all the essence of the 1963 series.

I literally recommend and I think all mecha lovers should take a look at this masterpiece called Tetsujin 28!
