Count to a Million

12501 you know i've wanted to see that series ever seen i saw the trailers and heard the OP how is it? I know its something of a legacy in japan, with it being linked to another three series (Original series created by Go Nagi)

Also his incursion in Super Robot Wars has done nothing to stop me wanting to see it :p

I gave it 7/10 on MAL, I liked it but was a bit dissapointed by its fairly formulaic, episodic nature. For a 7 ep OVA I'd have liked more of an overall plot really. Kids would no doubt love it (if it wasn't for the 15 cert the BBFC slapped it with "OMG Boobies" :roll:) It kinda reminded me of some of my favourite shows when I was a kid like Inspector Gadget and Dangermouse.

I bet I would have liked it more if I'd seen the original Mazinger Z first. What are the other series' it's linked to Black?

ps. My weather monitor informs me it's snowing outside. Weathermen screw up again or a sign of things to come?
 
12503 well Mazinger Z was the first then that went into Great Mazinger. Also there was another show by Go Nagi that was set in the same universe and that was called Grendizer. Also there was several movies to the franchise, one being Mazinger Z vs the great general of darkness (which saw a remake of sorts into Mazinkaiser's sequel, Mazinkaiser vs the great general of darkness) another being a crossover with another Go Nagi super robot show, Getter Robo.

:eek:

Oh no, I've stumbled upon another Gundam! There goes all my time and money for the next several months!

::Attempts to throw self of cliff only to be caught by giant mech hand::
 
12505 well I know Getter Robo is also a large franchise, i mean all i listed there was some of the movies and none of the manga series :p

fun fact: Someone else designed the Mazinkaiser robot (i think it was for one of the Super Robot Wars games) but Go Nagi liked it so much he worked it into the manga series he was doing at the time, saying that it was the base of all the other Mazinger machines

second fun fact: i think the MazinKaiser op "Fire Wars" rocks :p and am now listening to the songs from the MazinKaiser vs the great general of darkness "Majin Kenzan" and the ending

Fire Wars does indeed rock.
"Don't wanna know why, everybody ready get it on!"

I also liked the way that although it was new animation they were very true to the 70's roots with character design. I'd really like to see character design move in a differnt direction again, before char's eyes take up most of their heads. That's just getting creepy...

Hey Mono. Happy Halloween!

tsk. Voddas can't tell his real robots from his super robots. :roll:

Okay, time to stop acting like an uber-otaku now. People might start thinking I'm serious... :lol:

edit: nipping out for a little while. Back soon.
