Mecha UFO Robo Grendizer

Hello, I've been a fan of Anime since the 90s, I grew up watching anime dubbed in Arabic like Grendizer, Mazinger Z and Captain Tsubasa. I then got to watch anime like Lupin III, Cobra, Cat's Eye and City Hunter on several European channels when Egypt went through the satellite dish boom and now thanks to internet the world of Anime is open.

My favorite is Astro Boy, I really like the character. I'm also a fan of Himura Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin, Kinnikuman and Duke Fleed from Grendizer.

Anybody familiar with a character called Ougun Bat or Golden Bat? This character was a skullfaced superhero who made his debut in 1931, 8 years before Superman and the start of the Golden Age of Superhero comics, here's a video I found that goes into detail on the character as well as discuss the character's influence not just on Anime and Manga but on Tokusatsu superheroes as well. http://youtube.com/watch?v=6ExePeYkGwA&t=8s Video on Golden Bat
