How it feels

A comedic anime series that parodies the super robot genre. It follows a group of characters and their transforming robot, using the usual mecha battle setup for jokes and gags rather than serious action.

What happens

Choriki Robo Galatt (超力ロボ ガラット, Chōriki Robo Garatto) is a comedy-science fiction anime series by Nippon Sunrise. It is also known as Super Robot Galatt and Change Robo Galatt. Produced by Nippon Sunrise, the series aired from October 1984 to April 1985 on Nagoya TV, TV Asahi and its affiliates. It was the follow-up series to Ginga Hyōryū Vifam, using many of the same production staff (including Toyoo Ashida as character designer and Kunio Okawara as mecha designer), and was made to purposely be lighter and less serious than its predecessor. The series was a debut role for both Katsuhiko Nakagawa (as Michael) and Yoshino Takamori (as Patty). According to Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy's The Anime Encyclopedia, the series spoofs the classical mecha genre, with the battles between robots serving as "a topic for gag and parody".
