This area, called the Reference Area, can be accessed from the blue navigation bar located under the header graphics of every page in the site, and it contains the following sections:

The second area, called the Themes Area, analyzes as deeply as possible the “Daiku Maryu Gaiking” anime and presents the results of this study in the sections that compose the navigation bar located on the left part of every page, whose links are organized with the following structure:
THE WORK –A presentation of “Daiku Maryu Gaiking” in 5 sections dedicated to as many major characteristics of the series.

EPISODES: one by one, all the episodes of the series are shortly summarized here, with links to the characters and the machines that show up in each of them, and a photo galley dedicated to their most important moments.
