Hello, Guys! (I hope this is not off-topic.)I was wondering, do you share the same interest as I do for requesting an ultimate encyclopedia by Go Nagai with all info, statistics, history, etc... about all the super robots he's created? If you are interested please sign this petition and let's show it to Dynamic Planning, perhaps they respond 'n start working on this huge project! Thank you.

I'm all for it, 100%.
Wikipedia web pages are not enough. We've seen the Mazinger Bible. Now it's time to see a collective edition of a Super-Robot Encyclopedia in print, including all the data for all of Go Nagai's super-robots.

If the data is going to be the same references that populate the internet and make absolutely no sense, then I have no interest in it. I personaly dislike Go Nagai's attitude towards his creations, mainly the ones that made him famous. If he can't respect his work, then he certainly will not respect the people that follow it.

Now it's time to see a collective edition of a Super-Robot Encyclopedia in print, including all the data for all of Go Nagai's super-robots. zozo-Magengar Even with the Mazinger Bible, some people try to ignore it because of their love for Kabuto over Duke Fleed, so, they start bringin' Kaiser height from the SRW [28m] and compare it to Dizer's height from the anime [30m]. Great Mazinger also is a farce IMO, as they say the prototype is 20.5m while the original is 25m; which means it tops Mazinkaiser's height [23m] - what a joke! Etc, etc, etc, bla bla bla... So, yes, if we get an official encyclopedia by Go Nagai himself with accurate statistics for each robot, at least we'd know who's the king of his super robots instead of guessing if it's Getter, Kaiser or Dizer! I liked when he recently declared that SKL is not related to Kabuto's world. First, this gives a chance for the possibility of a continuation to our original Mazinkaiser OVAs and will let us not to make a comparison between 2 different universes. I believe the same goes for Shin Mazinger Z, he should describe both works as 'extras' or something! What I also wish it really happens if this project will be ever done, is to add "actual specs" for each robot! I mean to add it separated from manga, anime, games, etc...(where everything changes due to basic artistic requirements); and put true statistics as if they are building a real super robot in real life. 1 Mazinger Z vs 1 Getter Robo vs 1 Mazinkaiser vs Great Mazinger vs 1 Boss Borot ;D not Mazinkaiser and his replicants! If the data is going to be the same references that populate the internet and make absolutely no sense, then I have no interest in it. I personally dislike Go Nagai's attitude towards his creations, mainly the ones that made him famous. If he can't respect his work, then he certainly will not respect the people that follow it. }| You sound offended cuz of Shin Mazinger Shōgeki! Z-Hen, right? Me too...I find it ridiculous. I only watched 6 episodes and didn't like it (maybe I will watch the rest later). No, no...forget about the internet stuff if this encyclopedia is made!

No. I would rather purchase a complete encyclopedia of robots that have appear in each and every SRW games, including licensed and original ones.
That will probably include most (if not all) of Go Nagai's creation.

I would just like to see an encyclopedia for all the super-robots coming straight from their original Anime tv series. No OVAs, no toylines nor merchandise, no movie offshoots, no paralell-universes whatever, no series remakes... ...just straight from their original tv anime series.
Example: just the data for the classic Hover Pilder (1972), in which Koji had just enough room inside that "Mini car" to get knocked around. NOT the data from that 2009 "hover pilder" GREYHOUND BUS, in which Koji his mom and his whole family and the Kuroganes and his whole generation all fit inside that thing plus 6 guys smuggled inside the rear end of the hull (Duke, Mucha; and fatazzed Boss made up for the other four) in the Shin Maz series. ;D

@ Dammage7: Bro, I had just browsed and saved every scanned page from your blog site (I THINK I saved every page). You've done a treeeeemendously Amazing job translating those pages, and now I'm very happy to read all the real info about my favorite robots, especially Mazinger, IN PLAIN REAL ENGLISH, that I otherwise would Never understand from any loosely translated resources online. Great Job there! How on Earth do you manage to translate the text from those pages if they're scanned as images? Let me guess: you're also fluent in Japanese, right? AWESOME! zozo-Magengar

Whoa!!! Now I gotta dig out my Mazinkaiser dvds to look for That one! Nice Catch! ;D Go Nagai has a way of throwing subtle things into his manga images and animes... sorta like the "Where's Waldo" comic strips. LOL! zozo-Magengar OMG!I just found out this, few minutes ago...Did anyone notice it before?

Yup, I've watched this movie for years and never knew this but today when 2 of my friends told me about it. So, I took this still from the movie ;D Wow...imagine if Grendizer could come out of this paper 'n we see the long awaited Grendizer vs Mazinkaiser challenge! Man, thanks, but I did not translate the encyclopedia! The guy who translated it is named Mihail-George Hâncu (University of Bucharest). Cheers!

I wouldn't mind an Encyclopedia but not for the stats because a lot of it is nonsense but for some additional background information on each character. I like to see what his thinking was when designing Mazinger or Grendizer or whatever maybe even some early designs and with art by some famous modern artists.

He's currently on hiatus concerning the encyclopedia since he's scanlating a manga.
