Giant Robo and Shin Mazinger were directed by Yasuhiro Imagawa. Giant Robo is based on the collective works of Mitsuteru Yokoyama and Shin Mazinger uses elements from many of Go Nagai's previous projects. Both series attempt to present a comprehensive tribute to the authors of their respective source materials through an entirely new story.

Both of them are insane "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON" for the first episode, and they have the same director.
Over-the-top and retro mecha shows directed by Yasuhiro Imagawa. Both are revivals of classic series, but discard the old continuity to tell an all-new story that can be enjoyed by both old and new viewers. They're also huge tributes to the careers of the original creators, featuring characters and plotlines from the original creator's entire body of work. However, it's not necessary to be familiar with the source material to enjoy them.
Shares the same director, Imagawa. Both shows contain humans with superpowers, and both have plenty of plot twists.
While Giant Robo was imagawa's take yokoyama's works, Shin Mazinger is imagawa's take on nagai's works.
