About Astroganger

If you are hunting for a new action series, Astroganger deserves a look (1972). The setup goes like this. The premise: An alien woman named Maya crash-lands on Earth. Her homeworld was destroyed by the Blasters, a cruel alien race who steals the natural resources from other planets.

As things develop, she falls in love with a scientist and gives birth to a human boy named Kentaro. When the Blasters invade the Earth, Kentaro has to defeat them by fighting with Astroganger, a robot made from living metal.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
