Planet Robo Danguard Ace

Planet Robo Danguard Ace (惑星ロボ ダンガードA (エース) Wakusei Robo Dangādo Ēsu) is a Japanese science fiction anime series created by Leiji Matsumoto with Dan Kobayashi. It was licensed by Jim Terry Productions as part of the Force Five promotion, under the name Dangard Ace. English dialog was written for re-dubbing by Lynn Garrison who then combined a number of episodes into a feature length presentation. This series gained a cult following on the Showtime network during the 1980s. The titular robot also appeared in Marvel Comics' Shogun Warriors series, as well as in the toy line of the same name. In 2009, William Winckler Productions produced three all-new English-dubbed movie versions edited from the original series. Producer William Winckler, known for Tekkaman the Space Knight, wrote, produced, and directed these films, which have been seen on broadband in Japan.

Danguard Ace is Matsumoto's only contribution to the giant robot genre.
