@todd2580 I really don't know what to expect from the franchise as a whole. Even if I may have watched this once, I have already forgotten everything.
@RobertBobert i don't think it'd be a franchise as it'll be an one series for a 13 episodes.

@todd2580 I'm talking about Grendizer in general.

I wanted to rate it 3 but rate it 5 by mistake
The first episode was boring and full of outdated troops

First EP was good, nice pacing, drawing. though as a whole it feels a lot more adult compared to previous installment

I don't get what people's problem with the Middle East setting is? What about it was cringe?

I found it pretty formulaic, but considering the series pedigree I wasn't exactly expecting anything revolutionary - in fact, I went into this expecting super robot and that's exactly what I got. And since I've been watching a ton of Gundam the past few years, it was a nice change of pace. The animation looked pretty good, the progression of story and what was happening kept me interested, I loved the modern interpretations of 70s design, and I thought the 3D mechs actually looked pretty nice. I do feel like I wish I would have seen Shin Mazinger Z or something, just so I know who Koji and Sayaka are and to get a better sense of the stakes and power scaling when seeing Mazinger defeated, but I also feel like it's kind of nice to experience this as its own thing.

Pretty insipid but the change in configuration (characters positions, etc) got my attention.
Too bad it looks rather bad, and only the final shot of Grendizer and the severed head of Mazinger were drawn for real.


2/5
Also, hum... were those Middle East references mandatory?

Since I have never watched any Grendizer before I watched first Shin Mazinger Impact then Mazinkaiser. But now after watching this Grendizer first episode all I can say its cringy. Many Mazinger fans would no doubt be angry. Story so fast phase so many potentials wasted. For being sponsored by the Saudi`s this anime feel cheap quality.

3/5
