The series lasted for 13 episodes. However, poor ratings and reception not only ended the series short but also effectively cancelled [[FranchiseKiller any future adaptations of Yokoyama's properties]].

* AdaptationNameChange: Big Fire, the evil organization from previous media is know as G.R.O. [[note]] Gigantic Rebellion Operators [[/note]] in this series.
* AdaptedOut: Commander Azuma, the leader of the UN spec ops team Daisaku is apart of in the manga, is nowhere to be seen in the series, with Alex Mckenzie taking over his role.

* DarkerAndEdgier: The Series has a more grim and foreboding tone in comparison to previous adaptations.
* GrayAndGrayMorality: The GRO commits acts of terrorism to get their way,[[spoiler: however their intention of stopping the EldritchAbomination enemies]] [[spoiler: [[WellIntentionedExtremist by capturing all the GR units built to stop them isn't inherently bad]]]] and the UNISOM agents aren't much better, with them [[spoiler: being under the orders of the same man running the GRO]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Alex Mckenzie takes the full brunt of the GRO's machine gun fire to save the life of Daisaku near the end of the show]]
* ICannotSelfTerminate: After being contracted with GR-1, Daisaku effectively becomes immortal. Whether or not this only applied to his time operating the title character or if he really has been permanently immortalized is never addressed in the series. [[note]] In the manga version however, he and D and V are in fact permanently immortal and are among the last humans left at the very end of the manga about to face off the Old Ones for one last battle [[/note]]
* InNameOnly: While the series does feature Daisaku and Giant Robo battling an evil organization, it lacks the camp of the source material in favor of being a gritty reboot of the live action version.

* MythologyGag: Plenty of them.
** GR-4 being based on Calamity/Cleopat from the live action series.

** GR-0 and its planet destroying powers are modeled after Gaia from Mitsuteru Yokoyama's 1976 manga ''Mars''. GR-7 is based on Titan from the same manga.
** In Episode 10, Daisaku briefly wears the plaid trench coat, neck tie and khaki pants that his manga counterpart wore.
** The Manga version features a plethora of cameos of various Mitsuteru Yokoyama robots in the art style of GR Giant Robo at the very end of the manga. Several of the most identifiable ones include Monster, Black Ox, VL-2, and the titular robot from ''[[Anime/{{Gigantor}} Tetsujin 28]]'', The title robot from Yokoyama's obscure manga ''Thunder Daioh'' and Titan from ''[[Anime/GodMars Mars]]''.

** The Organization UNISOM being a name changed variant of the UNICORN organization from the 1967 series.

* [[WouldHitAGirl Would Shoot A Woman]]: GRO will take zero prisoners if it means achieving their goals, as Poor Alex found out...
