Kotetsushin Jeeg ep 01 raw
50 years after the original Jeeg defeated Evil, a giant clay robot manages to escape its rocky prison thanks to an earthquake. A high school student, Kenji Kusanagi, who is also a bike racer, is told to ride the superbike hidden deep in a shrine. But now the giant robot is going after him - can he outrun it?
Original creator Go Nagai.

Defeating Evil in a retro giant robot before lunch.

Lots of explosions, good animation, clean designs, simple plot. The 3D bikes use a nifty trick, the faces are done in 2D. Did they tone down the fan service? The girlfriends of Tsubaki Tamaki, the main character's love interest, refer to Kenji as a hopeless "sukebe"(lecher), but he isn't anything of the sort. His passions are bikes and food, he isn't even showing any interest in the girl, only her lunchboxes.
