It was the third TV robot anime series directed by Ryosuke Takahashi for Sunrise, following Fang of the Sun Dougram (1981-1983) and Armored Trooper Votoms (1983-1984), and has been considered as one of the earliest fantasy and robot combined anime series, along with Yoshiyuki Tomino’s Seisenshi Dunbine/Aura Battler Dunbine (1983-1984).
It has been confirmed that Warner Brothers Home Entertainment will release a Blu-ray box set of Sunrise’s classic robot anime in the mid-1980s, Kikoukai Galient/Panzer World Galient, in Japan on May 10, 2017.
