REbirth Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Well, ANN just happens to officially announce a Mazinger show called Shin Mazinger Shogeki! Z-Hen, a remake of the classic Mazinger Z show. I dunno if there is any super robot/Mazinger fan in this board, but damn this news just makes my day. God, simply can't wait. Bonus point if this airs in Spring/Summer season together with SK's new show, BASQUASH. Edit: Forget the pic, this seems to be done in Mazinkaiser OVA-style. Edited February 23, 2009 by REbirth Quote
mr.chogokin Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Good news. I personally prefer this over Basquat. Let's hope they maintain all the fanservice for this one too. Quote
promethuem5 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I'm curious to see where this goes, altho I'm more a fan of Great Mazinger. Quote
Keith Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) That is f^cking awesome news. R1 license GO! Looking at the director, I think it's safe to assume that the fanservice will be present, and the story epic. Giant Robo still stands as one of the finest pieces of anime.

Morpheus Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Oh yes, I always want this remake. Nothing can beat the original rocket punch Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I loved Mazinger ever since I thought it was called Tran Zor Z. "Fight with might for what is right!" Trannnnnnnnnn Zorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!! Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I-R-O-N C-U-T-T-E-R and of course our beloved Baron Ashura HAHAHA ! Quote
REbirth Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 Glad to see some fricking Mazinger fan here, anyway have some more pics (source from: SRWG-W.org Shin Mazinger thread). The last two pics are from the new Mazinger Z figure. I'm curious to see where this goes, altho I'm more a fan of Great Mazinger. You may have a chance to see Great Mazinger (or even Grendizer) in the last part of the show. This is supposed to be "Z Hen", there might be the "Great Hen", "Grendie Hen" coming out later. Quote
EXO Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Cool I can't wait to watch this... maybe they can redo Voltes V also! Quote

m0n5t3r Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 COOL! love maz ... hope they make the scrander for the toy just like in that 2nd pic... Quote
REbirth Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) It might happen cuz lately Dizer is appearing in most of the recent SRW games. The upcoming SRW K for the DS doesn't even have Dizer or Great, it just has Mazinger Z ( and Neo Gaiking + Shin Jeeg). Note this is the first time Great Mazinger doesn't appear in a SRW.

promethuem5 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 See while Mazinger Z is cool, we need Great to show up, because if I don't hear a Thunder BREAK it'll be all for naught. I also really want Great to show up so we get a new SOC Great using the joint system like the new Maz shown above. Quote
Greyryder Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 SWEET! Can't wait for this. Wonder if Venus/Aphrodite will still have the structural integrity of wet cardborad, depsite being made out of the same stuff as Mazinger? Now, Where's Boss Borot? Quote
REbirth Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Now, Where's Boss Borot? People speculate that Boss will make his appearance in the second episode because the VA list in the ANN's article only covers the characters in the first episode. And anybody notice that Kouji Kabuto is finally getting a VA recast? (Kenji Akabane instead of Hiroya Ishimaru). I wonder how good is the new guy? Quote
pato Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 That's great news, I loved Mazinger when I was a kid unfortunately I watched the show several years later and felt a little embarrased for liking it. However, I think that I would be able to enjoy it again. Quote
Graham Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Not really a Mazinger fan, but my 4 1/2 year old is a big fan of the original Mazinger / Great Mazinger TV series. He'll be excited by a new cartoon, especially if it gets dubbed into English. Graham Quote
REbirth Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Official site is up: http://www.shin-mazinger.com/ I love how the characters look more like the manga version than the TV series, Kouji and Z always look more badass in the manga. Quote
dreamweaver13 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) Alright!! this is great news! official site's poster looks bad-ass! Edited February 27, 2009 by dreamweaver13 Quote
Keith Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) Has a Yoshiki Fukuyama & JAM PROJECT song been announced for the theme song? This series deserves no less! Even if it's just a remake of the original song. Edited March 1, 2009 by Keith Quote
REbirth Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) Has a Yoshiki Fukuyama & JAM PROJECT song been announced for the theme song? This series deserves no less! Even if it's just a remake of the original song. No, not yet. I personally hope for a song coming from Aniki (Ichirou Mizuki), Yoshiki Fukuyama is awesome and all but Aniki is just plain EPIC.

pato Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 No, not yet. I personally hope for a coming from Aniki (Ichirou Mizuki), Yoshiki Fukuyama is awesome and all but Aniki is just plain EPIC. who or what is Aniki? Quote
REbirth Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 who or what is Aniki? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichirou_Mizuki Here is him singing the original theme of Mazinger Z: MAAAAZZZZZIIIINNNNN GOOOOOO!!!! Quote
promethuem5 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Speaking of Mazinger/Go Nagai music, you know what was bullsh*t? The Legends of Mazinger CD (which I recently got) doesn't include the Great Maz theme used in Great Maz vs. Getter Robo/ vs. Grendizer. The one that starts 'Dash! Dash! Dundundunnuh!' Quote

That seems to be the normal opening theme of Great Mazinger. Do you want it? If you do, I will send you a PM with the download link. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Grendizer needs more of an update then Mazinger but I'll watch it. Quote
REbirth Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 Grendizer needs more of an update then Mazinger but I'll watch it. Go Nagai himself thinks Grendizer show is perfect, that's why he doesn't want to retouch it. But I wouldn't mind seeing a Shin Grendizer/Grenkaiser Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Go Nagai himself thinks Grendizer show is perfect, that's why he doesn't want to retouch it. But I wouldn't mind seeing a Shin Grendizer/Grenkaiser I doubt that or may be, since years fans want a Dizer update. At least Daisuke`s 2nd seiyuu sounds better. Quote
promethuem5 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I dunno... I haven't seen the series, but all of the crossover films make Grendizer look like a chump. All he does is get his butt stomped and get saved by the Maz's, and have an idiot pilot. Quote
