Great Mazinger has a special place in my heart. It is the VERY first anime I have ever seen.
I was only about 4-5 when I was in Taiwan. I specifically remember watching a bunch of episodes of GM and no one could pry me away from the tv. It left a big impact on how I watched anime, cartoons, even entertainment in general. Anime-Classic, thank you so much for helping me relive one of my earliest and most cherished memories. |

glad to see people enjoying our releases
Great Mazinger ep 2 is coming soon and for those who don't know what it is (evil people!!): Summary: First came Mazinger Z, the Fortress of Iron. It came, it saw, and it fought lots of ridiculous mechanical monster robots sent by a man named Dr. Hell. It had a long, enjoyable 92 episode run, but that wasn't enough. People (specifically Toei) wanted more, and so Great Mazinger was born, a robot kept top secret during Mazinger Z's story, built to stop the advances of the Mycenae Empire, the ancient underground race of monster people whose technology Dr. Hell had borrowed. Will Great Mazinger be enough to defeat the seven armies of the Mycenae!? Will Boss ever pull off anything worthwhile!? And what about Kouji!? Find out this and more by watching! many people consider this show to be better than the original Mazinger Z for various reasons, personally i just love anything with more Boss and Boss Borot SUPER DELUXE HIGH POWER GOLDEN DELICIOUS MAGNUM BOROT PUNCH!!!!!! |

I was happy to see that they kept the Boss theme and that the series had the same awesome feel to it that the original Mazinger Z had. When I first saw that you guys were going to work on a 50 + ep series I was crossing my fingers for this one. It's truly one of the best things you could of decided to sub. Great job!

Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of people will give this a chance. Hardcore mecha fans certainly will, but most other people would be turned off by the retro designs and old animation, and the monster-of-the-week formula. I'm certainly going to be following this though.

yeah but I tend to not to care about new anime fans anyway.
A classic is a classic, the retro style is what turns me on. I'm tired of that moe crap. That's why I skip almost 90% of animes. I can only watch series that has a distinct art style. Not the generic anime maid or something. |

Heh, generally anime fans are divided into many fractions, but I grew up watching oldschool, all the way to the newschool.
I think one should embrace all and not just side with one. But still, alot of people don't know how important mecha is to the anime industry. Just Mazinger itself has revolutionised and reformed the anime industry. The most popular moe trait, Tsunderes, came from Sayaka-san herself. But this is Great Mazinger, its about the Battle Pro himself. MAJIINGAAA BUREEEDOO!!!

Mazinger is a true classic in the true sense of the word.
But it'll be hard to watch Great Mazinger without knowing exactly what happened on the Mazinger Z story, is there any compilation movie around? I'm really curious to know what happened at the end of Mazinger Z.
