Home Video (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, 4k)

One of the most charming anime of the 80s is Giant Gorg. and we are finally getting a remastered Blu-ray release of it this November.

Written and directed by the hugely talented Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, it deals with the plucky Tagami Yu following in the footsteps of his dead father. He ends up on a newly arisen island in the South Pacific. Full of ancient secrets and a massive corporation that wants those secrets for itself.

I reviewed the DVD release back in 2016, and in the time since Japan did an amazing Blu-ray remaster of the anime (shown below). It’s this remaster that is finally coming Westward in November.

Set over 26 episodes, this is one of those anime that should be binge watched. Much like Future Boy Conan, Giant Gorg is a unique and special anime that has a kind of rare narrative pacing that isn’t seen in more modern shows.

...

Even if you picked up the Giant Gorg DVD release a while back, this Blu-ray remaster is something else entirely and is an essential purchase as far as I am concerned.

Released on November 26, you can pre-order the Blu-ray from Crunchyroll’s online store for the currently reduced price of $37.46.
