While there is a great anticipation on GMA Networks upcoming live action series Voltes V, GMA's Vice President Annette Gozum revealed that they are planning to have the live adaptation as well of Daimos.
Daimosis a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Dōga and animated by Nippon Sunrise, directed by Tadao Nagahama as his last work. It is the third and final installment of the Robot Romance Trilogy, following Chōdenji Robo Combattler V and Chōdenji Machine Voltes V. It aired on TV Asahi and its affiliates from April 1, 1978 to January 27, 1979, consisting of 44 episodes. A live-action television series adaptation is in development in the Philippines on GMA Network in the near future.
Also produced by Toei Animation, "Daimos" which was first aired in 1978. The story follows inhabitants of the planet Baam, who heads towards Earth in the hopes of emigrating after the destruction of their home.
A war erupts when their leader is killed and the only thing protecting the Earth from the Baam forces is the super robot Daimos. Its pilot, Richard, eventually meets and falls in love with Erika, the daughter of the late Baam leader.
I think Jillian Ward will best fit the role of Erika while Richard can be portrayed by Joshua Garcia
