Discotek Media Licenses the Original 1972 Mazinger Z Television Show for 2013

Yeah, I’m not really sure either. According to this Cruchyroll article, Discotek Media has licensed the original Mazinger Z show to be released in 2013 according to this post on Discotek’s Facebook account. To quote:

Discotek Media: “Mazinger Z. Complete Series 1-92. We’re aiming for the end of 2013 for first box set.”

Completely out of nowhere, we’re getting the original Mazinger Z show in full on DVD in the states. It’ll be the first official true translation of this series and the first attempt at it since the localization Tranzor Z. We’ll actually be able to see reasonable subtitles and not things about crabsticks and Tall God Z.

This could go on for hours.

No, no more of that. Just honest to goodness old style Mazinger.

Everyone back there is getting that punch right in the face.

You’ll learn more as we learn more.

Scans of Sayaka Yumi’s sweet as- I mean Mazinger Angels.

So it turns out that we don’t know how time zones work and JoJo’s premiered a few hours ago, not a few hours from now. The response I’ve been able to gather so far is positive, so hopefully it’s going to be good when someone gets the chance to sub it. We’ll probably end up doing for that what we did for Aquarion EVOL and just talking about it every two episodes or so.

Until that time, keep yourself occupied with a little of Go Nagai’s sexy times because the recently opened Oppai-Missile Translations is scanlating Mazinger Angels, a re-imagining of Mazinger Z where Sayaka Yumi, Jun Hono and Hikaru Makiba fight off the forces threatening Japan as a Charlie’s Angels like team but with super robots instead of whatever that show had. They even have a Bosley to answer to and get assignment from.

It’s also totally hot. Sayaka is fully introduced with a panty shot and then proceeds to beat up a guy in such a way that she gets another panty shot. No I’m not putting that up on here. But don’t be put off. The manga still has that great robot fun. This first chapter has the girls fighting Baron Ashura who is two separate people this time.

Introducing Baron As and Baroness Hura.

And every Angel gets their own special breast missile based on the rocket punch of the series they came from.

Ultimate Boobie Barrage!

Yeah, I’m also a little weirded out by the idea of tits with drills, spinning knife drills, and axes in them, but robot fun is robot fun. If you’re into that goofy, not to serious, somewhat but not overly sexualized stuff that crazy Go Nagai does, Mazinger Angels may just be up your alley.

Oh, yeah, Diana A, show off that ass. That’s i- I need to stop writing this now.
