ROBOT ANNIVERSARIES

[magengar]

Yep, robots have Birthdays, too!

This is a list of our favorite robots who have birthdays,
starting with Astroboy, since he was the first anime robot to appear on TV.

This will keep a record of our robots' first anime/tokusatsu TV broadcast
(not counting their manga debuts).
I will update the list as I find more robot info.

I will try to keep this database organized into categories later on.

Magengar,

Mazinger-Z first appeared in 1972.
The first manga was on October 2, 1972, and the first animmated episode was on December 3, 1972. It appeared before Super Robot Red Baron; otherwise Red Baron would be the first "super robot."

Oh my.... This list is awesome!!

Thanks, I corrected that info above. I was in a hurry compiling the list as I searched
for the info online.

Most of my source material comes from those robots' wiki pages.

With this list, we'll at least have some idea what
to expect for new robot toys Anniversary editions.

I think I listed Daimos and Voltes up there, but I'll double-check the list and add those two as well,
after I get home from work tonight. Thanks for the input!

Late edit: yep, they're both listed up there.

Great thread....

[ryomakabuto]

is Astroboy a super robot? what is the actual definition of super robot for the Japanese?

[Robot Lover/Fighter]

Ohh, anyone has the original birthday for Boss Borot?

[magengar]

Boss Borot, Aphrodai-A, Diana-A can go listed with Mazinger-Z.
Venus-A with Great Mazinger.
And Mazinkaiser's female sidekick "Venus-Ace" of course with the Kaiser dude. lol
Wingle, with the SKL Kaiser.

I'll straighten out the list in the next day or so, with all the robots
listed in this thread thus far; just make sure to check the first post
in case your robots are already listed.
Right now I'm working on some projects that are gonna mentally drain me,
and I would also like to go to bed early instead of stayin up all night.
Since I have Sunday/Monday off, I can get the bulk of the work done
during that time.

In case y'all wonder why I list the robots' full anime name:
So that you can copy/paste it into search engines if you'd ever like
to find their anime shows at torrent sites on your own.

((((I recommend Nyaatorrents, KickassTorrents, and ExtraTorrents as my top
three trusted torrent sites because they are strict, and some well-known
fansub groups usually post their sets in all three and/or any
combination of the three sites and they use the common trackers.
Demonoid.ph <---(click) is just recently back online, but they haven't really updated
most of their stuff yet since they were down.
Although I'm recommending these sites, Do NOT post actual torrent links anywhere
inside this forum, per RJ rules-- that can be done privately amongst yourselves via PM only.
I might even get into trouble or banned for just mentioning these sites openly here live in the forum.
Most of us already know this info; so this is also for the benefit of newcomers
into RJ and this hobby.
This will be the last time I mention this info openly here in the forum.))))

Freak Out!

WOW!  Now THAT is what I call a List!  Did you compile that list? I like how you organized it
by robot's name and the dates and the animation studios who produced them and era!
May we include that list here as well?  Post it here!  Thanks!

tnx Magengar. It was only made extensive as possible thru the help of fellow members who also love everything about super robots.
actually they knew better than me hehe

if this will help, by all means ,,yes ofcourse!

[xTIMMYxCOREx]

I guess it's appropriate I have a Shin Mazinger tattoo, again, he was released on my 35th birthday.
