Giant Robo the Animation: The Day the Earth Stood Still is a 1992–1998 OVA series based on Mitsuteru Yokoyama's manga series Giant Robo. It was written and directed by Yasuhiro Imagawa.

Production

Producer Yasuhito Yamaki was working on a spin-off of Final Yamato, titled Dessler's War, but it was shelved. However, since he had already invited many staff members to work on the project, he felt it would be a waste to do nothing, and so he began planning Giant Robo. As a replacement for Yamato, he chose a robot anime, which was the mainstream of mecha anime at the time.

The first staff member to be appointed was director Yasuhiro Imagawa. A self-proclaimed fan of Yokoyama's work, Imagawa jumped at the chance of working on the project. In pre-production, Imagawa was informed he could not use any of the supporting characters from the manga or live action versions.

After Imagawa, Makoto Kobayashi joined the staff as the image concept designer. Among the special guest key animators, Hideaki Anno heard rumors about the project and reached out himself. Although Yamaki does not remember how he called on Shōichi Masuo, he asked him to participate because he was "an animator with excellent effects technique and taste." Science fiction writer Chiaki Kawamata, who had connections with Yamaki through Yamato, created…

The first episode was released July 22, 1992, with the following three installments staying close to the proposed schedule of six months between releases. Eiichi Matsuyama, the screenwriter for the first episode, passed away midway through production, and his name was combined with that of those who took over to form the name "Hidekazu Matsuyama", which appears in the credits.

The final episode was released January 1998, almost three years after episode six. In between releases, members of the Giant Robo staff worked on other projects, including The Big O, Getter Robo Armageddon, and Super Atragon, a two-episode OVA of Shunro Oshikawa's Kaitei Gunkan novel.
