In a typical 20 minute interval from work I looked up a cartoon I watched as a kid, because that's what you do with those intervals. I remembered this because of it's annoying/awesome theme song and bizarre Japanese dream logic storytelling, barely compensated by an English Dub.
It just looks a little weird, especially compared to the show, which just wasn't as filled with cool for 1985 flip-wipes, and seizure inducing colour effects. This is of course, because the Japanese opening is different and much weirder. Observe:
People who watched this show in America apparently had footage of this show, interspersed with footage of another Japanese giant Robot show, and some unconvincing 'alternate universe' explanation for these two different shows pasted together. Japanese stuff is difficult to make palatable to Western audiences, but there's no doubt in my mind which of these intros I would have preferred as a kid.
