Tetsujin 28-gou (2004) is a reimagining of the original manga. Taking place in the 1950s, it draws heavily from the two most famous arcs in the manga to tell its own original story. Like the manga, its one-part mecha story and one part hardboiled detective story. One thing that this adaption adds is emotional depth. Shotarou seems more vulnerable, more flawed, and more human here.

Many of the episodes are genuine tearjerkers. ...

The first part brings us very simple arcs, but the general ...

Note: this review contains some spoilers beyond the premise but does not discuss conclusions of character or story arcs. It also refers to other works directed by Imagawa.

Built to contribute to the Pacific War effort but only completed after the Japanese surrender, the titular robot in Tetsujin 28-go (2004) was left on an island, abandoned now that it was without purpose. Ten years later it is resurrected, but what place does it have in this new era of peace for Japan? More than just a plot device or action scene prop, the nature of the mecha itself is examined in this series: its reason for ...
