Much of the info in this thread is cool, about the various storylines, and I thank you guys for learning me some stuff.
BUT... could you guys please, pretty please, let it just be story info?? There's tons of thread already about the various toy lines. It's a lot of scrolling to wade through repops of the same old toy info, just to catch some show/movie/story info. ...Maybe I'm just dragging my tired whiny rump home, LOL.
I like you guys alot, and don't mean to come off as a jerk, I love toy talk of course, but just want to enjoy the story canon info here if that is what this thread is about.
Thanks for posting so many cool links to related story material, alternate universe stuff. Kind of interesting to see how the Maz story went in various countries.

Thanks for posting so many cool links to related story material, alternate universe stuff. Kind of interesting to see how the Maz story went in various countries. Well, you are right and that's actually the main purpose of this thread (to be more informal)! I just add some Mazin/Dizer figures here for variety but not a Getter or other toyline talk. However, I guess I can move the pics to the Toys in Action thread  No problem! Back to the informative topics and to be added to this thread, here's some update 'bout the newest Mazin... Mazinkaizer SKL.After we saw the opening theme, we can confirm now that the female mecha, Wingle, is gonna be Mazinkaizer SKL's wings! We dunno if she'll die 'n pass 'em to him or what yet...    I wonder what's goin' on inside those wings if Wingle's still in? But my guess is that she'll either die and pass the wings to SKL (as one of our brothers said previously here) or her pilot will just merge the wings with SKL. Yup, 3 pilots for SKL now!   For toy-related talk, please checkout: robotjapan.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=SOC&thread=16645&page=101#212383Recently, I also read some rumors about Kabuto related or mentioned in the work  ...wha?!!! |

 It's embarrassing that I am such a huge Grendizer fan and I don't know this: does anyone know what are these 3 letters (on the transporting champers to the 3 spazers) referring to?  What confuses me is that letter W has nothing to do with these names: - Koji Kabuto - Maria Grace Fleed - Hikaru Makiba - Double Spazer - Drill Spazer - Marine Spazer except that M works for Marine Spazer and D works for Double Spazer...so what is the W for Can anyone help? |

A smart Saudi friend of mine solved it! Japanese dudes pronounce Double Spazer as "Doublo Speza". Doublo sounds so close to "W". In the previous image that I've posted, it's so clear that there was a mistake in coloring the chamber spheres, but if you take a look at this new image from another episode... y'll get it   Silly but it's the only logical explanation! |

My only 2 comments about ep.1 is that the drawings and animation are superb but some scene switches are too fast than they should be (specially, when SKL appears at some points). Overall: great work!
Note: I've updated the OP/ED video...please scroll up to my prior previous SKL post!

Overall: great work! well to be honest, this is suppose to be like a full action anime so story might be lower down a bit, besides is like 3 episodes. bt nevertheless, thanx for this contribution. =) |

im am referring as well the scene constant changing, this is meant to be all action it has to change fast to keep up with the pace. In no way this anime is meant for anything special, this is all hardcore beat up fast fights.

In no way this anime is meant for anything special, this is all hardcore beat up fast fights. For fight and action scenes as you said is OK, but for regular scenes it looks like a bad director cut. Frames of few parts of a second need to be added before letting the animated sequence go with the scenes I am referring to (this has nothing at all to do with action, fights and the show genre) - however, they are not too many and not that noticeable but I was able to catch 'em during watching! Perhaps Kawagoe wanted it to be that way, but I think it was just a flaw! |

By the posts above I'm guessing that you both understood the dialog, and it seems that it is not very important anyway. Pity, because for once I thought that the SKL did have its own storyline and it was not going to be a mindless fighting, dark psycho hero - indestructible super robot anime. Oh well, at least the animation was very good and the Mazinkaizer action sequences exceeded my initial expectations. Now to wait for episode 2...

As for the story, there is a story, and there are parts where we do not know what the Japanese conversations say, but sect 1 is full of dynamic action, so you don't must need a 'story' to enjoy it! Subs will come later for sure. I also believe Bandai did not care that much for the storyline, as it seems to me like a $elling hit more than an OVA hit! Gonna post my thoughts 'bout this on the SRC thread shortly. |

I watched the episode four times and there seems to be a logical storyline, there's even a glimpse of the destroyed Photon Lab. However, I don't understand japanese that well, so I can't really follow what it is being said. I figured you guys understood japanese and therefore knew exactly what was going on...

And finish my RJ video project........<sigh>.....
I wish I could meet the person who lumped Christmas and New Years
holidays back-to-back so I can pound him to a bloody pulp... too much
rushing around between last week and this week! ;D

I just watched it and it's ok, but I hope Mazinkaiser shows more weapons then that. It'll get pretty boring if all it does is shoot and slash with it's sword, I'm getting a feeling that besides the name and look this is just leeching off the Mazinger/Mazinkaiser franchise while not really being a typical Mazinger show (like the whole Great Dangaioh fiasco), there's just some givens when you do a Mazinger spin off (some kind of fire attack, breath attack, actually shouting out the attacks lol). It's early though and just the first ep but it better getter better soon.
