YMMV / Gigantor

• Accidental Innuendo: Kenji Murasame's Dub Name Change is Dick Strong. D I C K S T R O N G.
  • "Dick Strong penetrates deep into the mighty fortress!"
• Awesome Music: Both the Japanese and American opening themes. Also the Japanese ending theme, "Shotaro no march" (Shotaro's march)
• Fan Nickname:
  • Ol' Needlenose for Gigantor himself.
  • "Wrong Tetsujin" for the 1980's incarnation and "Wrongest Tetsujin" for FX due to the works difference from the original (These versions were produced by TMS Entertainment so they were distant from the original similar to God Mars). The fan name was originally fan reaction about the 1980's series debut in the Super Robot Wars Z2 (Saisei-hen) instead of the original. This in turn lead to "Right Tetsujin" for both the original and the 2004 series.
  • Chen Gong, an /m/ translator for the Super Robot Wars series, calls Uchuu Maoh / Moldark from the '80s Tetsujin series "Space Dad" because he's the father of Prince Gura, another villain from that series, and because he's a living black hole.
• Friendly Fandoms: Tetsujin 28 fans tend to also be fans of Yokoyama's other mecha series, especially Giant Robo and Babel II.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The '80s version is loved by Arabs, just about every YouTube video of that series has Arabic comments on it.
