This. This exists. It’s going to be a 9 episode series of 10 minute shorts featuring exactly what you see, moe anthropomorphized versions of the big time Mazinger franchise characters from the three main robots to Baron Ashura and various Mechanical Beasts, Garada and Doublas being who we see here.
This is weird. I don’t totally know how to feel about it because this is a moe anthropomorphization of Super Robots, and that’s dumb. Strike Witches was a stupid show from concept to execution that survived by managing to throw a few bones to WWII Era war machine enthusiasts . Taking that concept and putting it on classic super robots is not a positive or particularly appealing thing. I am not enthused by seeing these weird almost panties butt shots from Miss Mazinger or the flat out panties from Doublas right after seeing an x-ray of her jaw shattering.
On the other hand, it’s animated well. This is both a positive and a negative for the show because looking nice is nice, but I can’t get it out of the back of my head that this is good animation used for inane and at times creepy pandering and not, say, Shin Great Mazinger. I didn’t like Shin Mazinger quite as much as everyone else did, but it was a good show and a rallied a lot of old fans together. Someone else brought up that this wouldn’t be so aggravating if it was the side show, but this is replacing the main show.
There is a reference to Jack and Mary King, though, and I can’t hate that. This is only a small snippet for now. Maybe new trailers will bring better news.
