Android Kikaider: The Animation, Volume 1 - Lonely Soul

DARK is a sinister organization that launches a wave of audacious attacks in an attempt to gain world domination. Commanded by the evil Professor Gill, masked robots and fearsome Destructoid monsters terrorize innocent victims and wreak havoc throughout Japan. To counteract this menace, Gill's nemesis Dr. Komyoji creates Jiro, a guitar-strumming warrior with the ability to transform into a mighty red-and-blue android known as Kikaida. Vulnerable to Professor Gill's shrill flute wooing him to the DARK side, the heroic Jiro battles the robotic hordes while protecting Komyoji's children Mitsuko and Masaru. Based on the classic 1972 live-action television series KIKAIDA, the mecha Animé is serialized in this first of four volumes.
