Holy crap, me and the pooky were JUST talking about this last night. He showed me some clips of it on YouTube, and some of the Japanese commercials from the '70s selling the robot toy. CRAZY. He's really into all those Japanese giant robot cartoons from back then...Getter Robo, Great Mazinger. He used to watch them on a Japanese TV station in Long Beach, CA where he grew up.

The truly astonishing thing about this show? It's the reason why Marvel, after buying out DePatie-Freleng, used Toei as their primary outsourcing partner for their cartoons (until money got tight and they went to AKOM).
Also worth a look in this vein is the Super Sentai show (very very very VERY) loosely based on Captain America, and the animated movie based on The Tomb of Dracula (which received a typically bad English dub at some point).
