About GOLDORAK Xperienz
Goldorak arrived in France on July 3, 1978, and revolutionized children's television programming. It was supposed to air in secret during the summer holidays, but the public decided otherwise. It was a resounding success! Created by Gō Nagai and Toei Animation a few years earlier, Goldorak (UFO Robot Goldorak, for the original version) brought a breath of fresh air to television. French audiences thus discovered a whole section of Japanese popular culture. Unwittingly, Goldorak became the starting point of a trend that would later be described as the "manga phenomenon." It aired several times until the mid-1990s, rocking different generations before making a big comeback on video and television in 2013, accompanied by new products bearing its image.
On the occasion of 45e anniversary of the creation of Goldorak, in agreement with Dynamic Planning and Toei Animation, PRIME PROD has decided to organize numerous events that invite you to rediscover one of the greatest icons of pop culture, while celebrating very strong cultural ties between France and Japan.
This is a great opportunity to organize incredible and unique events and to create shared bonds between generations.
