Robot Girls Z

The story revolves around a new team of "Toei robot girls" named "Team Z" that is made up of three girls based on Toei's Mazinger Z franchise: Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, and UFO Robot Grendizer. Usually they perform in activities around Nerima ward in Tokyo to raise the awareness of the promising future energy source "Photon Power" (koushiryoku). However, there are times when "Mechanical Beast" team of girls emerge from the "Subterranean Empire" and attempt to steal the energy. Thus "Team Z" has to battle them to prevent this, though sometimes they just go and beat up the "bad girls" to relieve stress.

Please note that because in this particular case MAL lists airings, not episodes/chapters/parts, this show is considered to be 3 episodes and not 9. Each of the three airings consisted of three episodes for a total runtime of 27 minutes per airing. The duration on MAL reflects this.

Recommendation: Very funny short parody of magical girls/giant robots anime. Requires no prior knowledge of the robot series' that the characters are based on to enjoy. Definitely give it a try.

Robot Girls Z is only 3 episodes long and there is no story to speak of, so this is going to be a short review. The main 3 robot girls and the 3 villains fight each other and the villains get owned, and then they bring in new one-off villains to fight the robot girls and the new villains also get owned. Rinse, repeat. They come up with new bits and ... jokes each time to keep the formula feeling fresh though. The Underground Empire's evil plots all have a vaguely Wile E. Coyote quality to them where you know they're doomed to fail from the start, but watching the specific ways their plans unravel always makes for good entertainment.

The main downsides here are laughably bad animation, which is so cartoonish and tongue-in-cheek that it almost feels intentional, and the unnecessary ecchi bits with girls' clothes constantly getting blown off. It added nothing and just felt really uncomfortable given how young some of the girls look. That being said, it's a small part of the series and easy to ignore, and the series overall is funny enough that it's worth tolerating some brainless fanservice for it.

From the makers of One Piece (of shit) comes robo-lolis the animation. I saw a cute .gif of a loli crying because someone took away her frog puppets so I reverse image searched it and found this lovely gem.

If you choose to make the horrible decision to watch this garbage like I did, you will be met with bland characters, poor animation and cute girls who do robot fighting stuff. But in all honesty the title says it all: animated by Toei, has robot girls, and Z.

You are getting exactly what you would expect 7/10 would rewatch.

Mixed Feelings

I find art to be an important element in anime. This is just me personally. Now this is an example of an anime where the art does not make up for its cons.

Story (3/10):
This is the worst part of it all. It is supposed to be about three robot girls going up against four other robot girls that want to kill the Robot Girls Z. Why? Because some person on a screen wants them to die. The lack of reason kills it.

Art (9/10):
What can I say? The art is beautiful, shiny, refined, and colorful. The animators knew when to put less effort into it. The ... comedic moments. If you don't like the comedy, you can at least appreciate the effort.

Sound (8/10):
Catchy opening and ending, but the soundtracks never stood out or got you in the mood for an upcoming event. The voice acting is ridiculous, but in a good way. They knew to sound goofy and childlike.

Characters (6/10):
Everyone had their own personality, which I like. The downside is that they were too generic. The villains did have more unique personalities, so it made me look forward to most of their appearances.

Enjoyment (5/10):
I did get lost from time to time, but the comedy made me at least smirk now and then. If I knew more about the series they were parodying, maybe I would have a better enjoyment.

Overall (6/10):
It was bearable as it was only 3 episodes. It didn't make a large impact, and I would never recommend it, unless I was joking. That said, it wasn't particularly bad, and I think they put a good effort in. Goes to show, effort isn't always what makes something good.
