I hope you aren’t talking about this show…

Wowzers…

I don’t even… what…?

admin if horrible sub realesed one piece episode 416 from Funimation u will but it?

I don’t even… what…?

Does anyone even watch this crap? lol

*sighs at “crap”*

To each their own, I guess…

It isn’t crap and its viewing rates on television in Japan during August, while not terrifically high, is generally good compared to some other shows.

Isn’t this a remake of a really old “classic” anime?

I’ll watch a few episodes, before I say it sux.

Yes it is. Whether or not you watch a few episodes, it seems as though you’ve already get your mind set on faggotry.

Naa, I was implying that people should give it a try before they judge it.

Whoa, Shinsen-Subs version out before Gattai? Thats awesome!

As for idiots that think this show is crap. This is a re-imagination of THE GRANDFATHER of all mecha anime. Faggots that are into NGE and Gundam should realise they wouldn’t exist without this.

Actually Tetsujin 28 is the grandfather of all mecha anime… being sited as the inspiration for most of the following series. Mazinger Z dates 9 years later.

Manga/Anime historians see Mazinger Z as the origin of the mecha genre, because it marks the first publication of a human inside a robot while controlling it.

While Tetsujin 28 was older and Go Nagai himself said he was inspired by the said manga to create Mazinger, Tetsujin 28 was a giant robot that was remote controlled.

Mecha in its recognizable form considers Mazinger Z as its ‘Father Adam’.

That depends on your definition of Ambassador Magma (1966), while many state he was not technically a mecha but an alien lifeform… the fact that he transforms into a jet and fires rockets from his chest seals the deal for me. Plus Tetsujin 28 (Gigantor) is more often referenced in relation to the origins of modern mecha shows… Mazinger has been getting more attention recently due to Mazinkaizer and the new series but it’s by no means the work that Go Nagai will be remembered for.

I beg to differ my friend. Mazinger is by far Nagai’s most influential, most popular and most successful work. I guess you’ve never really seen how big Mazinger is in Japan.

Or for that matter how big it was in europe, south america & the middle east along side its spin off series Grendizer.

The series only got a shitty dub repackaged as ‘Tranzor Z’ in america, which is why the American anime community probably doesn’t really view it as anything of importance.

If you want to argue for the sake of argument about this series then it can go on forever.

However almost all japanese anime historians trace the actual start of mecha with Mazinger.

Actually I am European, though I guess you’re excluding England from that list as it was not widely (or at all) distributed here, hence Devilman, Star Fleet (X-Bomber to the American’s) and Cutey Honey being far more recognisable Nagai works for us.

I’ve done a reasonable amount of reading up on this subject myself, as I wouldn’t have made a remark at all, though I will score you on the point that most of my sources are English and American anime historians from which Mazinger rarely gets a mention.

We’ll have to agree to disagree for the moment (maybe continue on MSN sometime) as this isn’t going to be resolved quickly. ^_^

Nagai himself said that he made Mazinger as a break from Devilman, which is why it came as quite a shock to him that it went on to become the biggest hit manga/anime had ever seen at the time.

Mazinger single-handedly kickstarted the japanese action figure industry and its popularity both in japan and outside during the mid to late 70s was mind-boggling, a testament to which is the life size statue of Mazinger Z in Tarragona, Spain, constructed 25 years ago.

The regret of Nagai’s life though has always been that his more favoured shows like Devilman and Cutey Honey never became even close to how successful Mazinger did.

Because of that he has often spoken out more about his other series and western anime critics due to that have always been quick to brush Mazinger aside, often forgetting or even unaware of its success.

I guess what my point is that the seeds for the Mecha genre were layed with series like Tetsujun 28 but the genre itself’s first ever series is without a doubt Mazinger Z.

Sure we can talk on msn Dante bro, PM me your ID, I’ll add you up.
