In 21st century Japan, cars with artificial intelligence for increased safety, known as "A.I. cars," have revolutionized the car industry. Special schools teaching children driving A.I. cars have been established. One day, Kakeru Todoroki, a fifth grader of Arcadia Academy, was summoned by the school principal and given an A.I. car "to save the humanity by chosen drivers like you." The car, however, is not just a car but also a transforming robot known as "Gyrozetter."

"超" ("chou") = "super, ultra"; "速" ("soku") = "fast"; "変形" ("henkei") = "transformation".

(One episode watched):

This show was clearly meant for children. It had the usual themes: this kid is a latent hero, only he can use Gyrozetter to its full effect (why escaped me), lots of high tech, mystical terminology ('Rosettagraphy'), secret organizations, and a clash between good and evil. It would make any boy's mouth water, but there is very little for the more mature anime fan. Sort of like a ripoff of Transformers. Because there cannot be any severe violence in a children's show, the bad guys are allowed to break off and run unpursued once Kakeru kicks their asses. Somehow, it seemed as if a little product placement was underway to sell cars to any adult who might be watching. The one novel thing about this show was the ED sequence scene of mecha performing an idol-like dance routine.
