YMMV / Gaiking

• Awesome Music: The theme song is awesome enough to rival that of Mazinger Z.
• So Bad, It's Good: The William Winckler-produced Compilation Movies can be this if you're a fan of cheesy dubs, especially since they're reminiscent of Winkler's attempt at dubbing Tekkaman back in 1984. Or...
  • Macekre: They can be this if you wanted a more serious and polished dub that doesn't squish the show into a rather disappointingly small set of Compilation Movies (three, to be exact).
• Tear Jerker: For a Super Robot series, there's LOTS of these. These include the episodes featuring the death of Fan Lee's Long Lost Sibling, right after they found each other - and in poor Fan Lee's arms!, the story of the ONLY member of the Dark Horror Army able to resist his brainwashing... since the Army killed his cute little daughter in front of him, and Pete's A Day in the Limelight episode, in which we learn why is he a Jerkass... due to having failed to prevent his parents's deaths.
