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.[1]
It consists of 25 episodes and was originally broadcast on all ANN affiliates as well as some Fuji TV, Nippon TV and TBS affiliate stations. Sunrise produced the series with the cooperation of Asahi network affiliate Nagoya TV. 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".[1]
