| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This is my third time stating the show, and hopefully the last. Now that I have this with somewhat good subs, things should go smoothly. Pretty good opening episode, they took their time setting up the story well, some backstory about Alloy-Z and Photon. And obviously, Kabuto Koji has no idea what he's doing in the mech, which is nice. In most newer mecha shows the MC always figures out how to pilot quite easily, so it's nice that the very first one takes its time. Baron Ashura is a pretty interesting villain and I like how the voice changes depending on the perspective. Also Garada subs are so awesome. While they are pretty accurate, some parts will always make me laugh. Adding shit, fuck and bitch where it's not needed is so immature, yet it still makes me laugh. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Always wanted to get into the Mazinger franchise, decent first episode but didn't really grab me yet lets see if I can finish this 92 eps long show. |

| Beautiful first episode for a classic series!!!! Dr. Kabuto, Dr. Inferno, Ashura, Aphrodite, Shiro, Koji .... and the Mazinger Z!!!! |
| Really nice first episode. I had just finished watching the original Cutey Honey series prior to starting this show, and I was cracking up at how similar the back story was. Old man/father figure invents something amazing and dies first episode. Generic bad guy organization wants to rule the world. Old man's offspring has to save the world using his invention. The MC even has a little brother just like in Cutey Honey. |

| Hmm not to sure about this one going into it. Mainly watching cause I wanted to see some Go Nagai anime. Usually when it comes to mecha prefer something psychological like Eva or Real Robot like Gundam. Only real Super Robot genre mecha I've seen so far would be TTGL and didn't like that much honestly. I'll try to complete this but might end up putting it on hold every 25 or 50 episodes depending on how it turns out. |
| Today I wanted to open a small parenthesis on my leisure, so I have come to think of starting this anime series that I saw when I was very young, I know about ten years? Or less, anyway, it was a great dive in the very exciting past. I had never seen the first episode, because in those days, was broadcast on private TV and there times were a real mess. I find that there are many points not well explained in the narrative, but left to the spectator's imagination, because the links between certain characters and certain scenes do not make sense. The story begins without a waste of time, the bad guys are immediately aware and the good ones know, but they do not give much information. I noticed that the atmosphere was not always serious and dramatic, but there were also really comical moments, with Koji coming on stage. The soundtrack, including the opening and ending, puts some melancholy. Speaking of Koji, I remembered it differently, and not as a youngster who enjoyed riding his motorcycle. Speaking of the protagonists of those times, I clearly remember how with their bikes they did crazy acrobatics. Now things like that are not seen anymore. |
