Sum it up in a Sentence

A highly compressed retelling of the Mazinger Z manga, but inserting both Great Mazinger and the titular Mazinkaiser into the mix for good measure.

Main Description

In one of their epic battles, the Mazinger Team suffers a crushing defeat at the hands of Dr. Hell and his minions when Mazinger Z is stolen and its pilot, the legendary Kouji Kabuto, is rendered missing in action. Just when Dr. Hell's second-in-command Baron Ashura uses Mazinger Z against our heroes, Kouji makes a surprise return in Mazinkaiser - an all-new Mazinger with heavier armor and deadlier attacks.

Personal Opinions

Mecha Gojira

Essentially a short retelling of classic Mazinger Z stories, but with of course the titular machine taking over for the original Mazinger Z. Not necessarily ambitious, it's still an enjoyable enough OVA for fans of the Mazinger series. Admittedly, I saw it after Shin Mazinger Shock! Z Epic, so my opinion is a little colored by the fact that it's not as great as the most recent remake. If you want more Mazinger, this is the place to get it.
