Astroganga, غزاة من الفضاء – جونكر in Arabic. Is a Japanese anime produced in 1972 by the director Masashi Nitta and the original work is by Tetsuhisa Suzukawa. It’s as other Super Robots Anime, the plot is about aliens attacking planet earth. Briefly, the Destroyers, almodammiroon as they’re named in the Arabic dub, are searching for Oxygen in the universe, they’ve first destroyed “Planet Kantarus” before they have made it to Planet Earth!
Maya, she’s from the Planet Kantarus. She’s Dr.Hoshi’s wife and Kantaru’s mother. She has died earlier in the anime due to the Destroyers attacks’ side effects. Kantaru, the son, combines with Astroganga by his special abilities being a half Kantarious to strengthen Astroganga’s power, so they usually fight together. Hence, Kantaru is not a robot’s pilot as in any other typical super robots anime!
Astroganga – جونكر – got very popular in Arab countries during the 80’s. Especially in Gulf countries and Lebanon as it was dubbed in Ba’albak Studio in Sin el Feel in Lebanon. So, Why am I discussing here such an old anime that perhaps most of the readers here are not interested in?! I’m just trying to attract Astroganga fans to connect into my blog hehehe :D.
I should be so lucky to find the action figure of Astroganga sold in Kuwait, It was overpriced though but Astroganga worths it, JONGAAAAAAAAR!!
