Launch Trailer Released for '70s Robot Anime Geppy-X' Ahead of Release: Mid-Game 'TV Show Change' Shock Revealed

Bliss Brain announced the launch trailer for '70s Robot Anime Geppy-X,' scheduled for release on July 16, 2026.

Unlike previous promotional videos, this launch trailer focuses on the new protagonist robot 'Geppy-XX (Double X),' which appears in the second half of the game.

The in-game anime series changes midway through the story

In '70s Robot Anime Geppy-X,' as the story progresses into its second half, the protagonists gain access to a new mecha: 'Geppy-XX.'

Accompanying this shift, the in-game TV anime-style opening sequence is completely overhauled.

The show's title changes to 'Geppy-XX,' and the opening theme switches to a new set of lyrics, distinct from the first half.

The program is now titled 'Geppy-XX'!

This dramatic production style, reminiscent of 1970s robot anime suddenly entering a 'power-up arc' mid-broadcast, is one of the game's defining highlights.

The newly released launch trailer prominently features this 'second-half opening' for the first time.

The launch trailer spotlights this new female pilot starting from the 'Geppy-XX' arc.

The trailer includes scenes of her in action alongside the upgraded protagonist mecha 'Geppy-XX.' Experience the charm of this new character who brings drama to the game's second half.

'Showa-era robot anime' reborn through HD remastering

Additionally, players can freely switch between the HD remastered version and the original version during gameplay.

Whether you want to relive the authentic retro atmosphere or enjoy the beautifully restored visuals, you can play in your preferred style.

The cult classic, originally exclusive to Japan in the 1990s, returns.

'70s Robot Anime Geppy-X' was originally released in 1999 for PlayStation and has since been celebrated as a 'legendary oddity' among shooting games, praised for its overwhelming volume of animation and passionate homage to robot anime.

Approximately 8,000 hand-drawn animation frames,

and an unprecedented 4-CD-ROM scale.

The production scale, far beyond the norms of its time, was often described as 'Why did they go this far?'

Love for the golden age of robot anime.

Parody spirit taken to the extreme.

And an uncompromising level of passion.

All of these elements have now been revived with modern technology.

Now, more than ever, this work deserves proper recognition.
