Does T28 remind anyone other than me of The Iron Giant?

I got that vibe too right off the bat. The Iron Giant on steriods I says to meself.


The crotchety old comic historian here to set matters straight again.
More likely Iron Giant was T28 on steroids. T-28 is based on Gigantor... a Japanese comic from '56 later turned into a cartoon which arrived in the US in '66 but had to have the violence edited out because it was a bit ahead of the cultural curve. SO I do find it a bit ironic to suggest the original is lacking in originality, at least tribute is paid where it belongs here. I for one, am looking forward to seeing this updated... anime has always had it's own distinct charm and this character was one of the pioneering stories of that genre. Thanks for the heads up, Star... I for one will be looking forward to the revamp... just hope they don't mangle it!

... and yeah, movie prices suck! Probably why I'm more inclined toward used DVD's these days!
