Its really too bad.....I really wanted to like it. I must've re-watched Mazinkaiser 20x but Shin Mazinger...just once, never really felt the need to re-visit it.

I was just the opposite. I also never read any of the manga. But I found Shin Getter Armageddon impossibly hard to understand or follow. Shin Mazinger was an amazing way to tell a story and was easy to follow. It reminded me more of my force five days than anything else in my recent memory.

Next they will show you how they all got there. A lot of movies follow that pattern. Cohn brothers used it a few times if I recall correctly.

It reminded me more of my force five days than anything else in my recent memory. I don't know but comparing Shin Maz to Force Five might be a bit of a stretch as Force Five was pretty simplistic with fairly straight forward plot/ story development. I think the typical 10 year old would have a hard time following Shin Maz end up giving up/ gettin bored and reverting back to watching Pokemon. I just found it to be a huge deviation from what I remember of Mazinger back in the day. To be fair its probably on par with Shin Getter except from what I could understand Shin getter took place after the 1st & 2nd Getter anime Whereas Shin Maz seem to have re-wrote the previous mazinger anime because of the manga....this was kind of the sticking point I couldn't get over.

Definitely a more complex story than the old 70s cartoon. But thy same feel of the hero always comes through with that final attack they should have just started with. Shin Mazinger was a reboot of the entire series, not connected to any of the previous ones.

Yeah... Shin Mazinger really, REALLY, sucked hard. I think Shin Mazinger (the robot) got about 7 minutes of total screen time, and only 4 of those in battle. Yes, it is sooo bad that I only watched it once as well. Comparing it to Getter Robo Armageddon is a sacrilege!

I just wasn't crazy with the getters. I like getter robo G much more
