Round table - 50 years of Grendizer
To mark the 50th anniversary of Grendizer, Japan Expo celebrates the steel giant with a round table discussion.
The considerable impact of the series in France, the first country outside Japan to broadcast it. A veritable cultural phenomenon in the late 1970s, UFO Robo Grendizer left its mark on an entire generation, opening the way for Japanese animation to be seen on French television screens.
Over the decades, the series has become a symbol of nostalgia, but also an object of study and artistic reinterpretation. 50 years of a new relationship between France and Japan with Grendizer, a retrospective on half a century of influence, between collective memory, transformations in the way manga is viewed, and renewed interest in this cult work.
