About Negadon: The Monster from Mars
In the year 2025, the world population explodes to over 10 billion. In search of a new place to live, mankind initiates the space exploration project entitled "The Mars Terraforming Project". But, all attention is diverted from this expansion into space when a Japanese freight spaceship returning from Mars crashes on the streets of Tokyo. It unleashes a deadly cargo: Negadon, a giant, vicious monster from beneath the surface of Mars! Now, only Dr. NARASAKI and his long-abandoned robot Miroku can save the Earth. In a clash of titans that will shake the planet to its core, it's giant robot versus space monster for the fate of all mankind!
