It is directed by Yūji Yamaguchi, with Satoshi Namiki handling series composition, Eiji Suganuma designing the characters and Kazunori Maruyama composing the music. The series aired on TV Tokyo and its affiliate stations from April 5, 2004, to March 28, 2005. A manga adaptation by Noriyuki Konishi was serialized in CoroCoro Comic from the June 2004 issue to the February 2005 issue. Two Game Boy Advance games and one PlayStation 2 game published by Konami have also been released. The series was the first completely original work produced by Nihon Ad Systems, who have previously only produced works based on manga and video games. As a result of various planning discussions, it was decided to develop a life-size hero with the concept of a person "putting on" a mecha by having a person in a power suit board the mecha and transforming and combining with the mecha, rather than a robot. It was originally picked up for Distribution by Illumitoon Entertainment in August 2006 and planned to release it a year later in 2007, however after Illumitoon Entertainment ceased operations in Late 2007 after Westlake ceased distribution of their titles, the series hasn't been avalible in the US since.
