Another piece of my childhood 🙂
When I was a kid I lived several months in Algeria, it was somewhere in 86-87. And there was a cartoon series on TV about a boy and his big dark color robot. The only thing I remember – this robot could fly and held the boy on outstretched arms. I even don’t remember the language, maybe french 🙂
Google always suggest “The Iron Giant” but it’s from 1999. I suspect it could be anime – they have plenty of robots 🙂 So, does anybody have any ideas?
Sounds like Gigantor, The New Adventures from the 1980s. The first series was from the 1960s.

It seems so. Or maybe “Tetsujin 28 Gou” series.
Thanks!
Can we call this Solved, or are you still looking for suggestions?
It is the same thing. Tetsujin 28 Gou” is the Japanese name for the original series in the sixties. In the United States the dubbed version was called Gigantor. It was in black and white, but since the OP said they saw it in the eighties I assumed they saw the color version from 1980.
I think this is the most probable variant. So yes, let’s consider it solved, thanks!
Great!
