### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MAZIN GO!!!! PILDER ON!!!!
*by D***R on September 13, 2014*

I'm extremely happy and very please to have this series in my hands, Mazinger Z was one of the shows i used to watch here in Puerto Rico when i was a kid (it was also my first anime to ever see) which he was quite popular here as well in all hispanic and around the world (still he is). When i heard that Discotek Media manage to get the license to release Mazinger Z in its original Japanese version my hype meter broke, heck i thought that no one would ever bring him so big kudos to Discotek media for doing something that no one would even dare to do for the U.S.A.The story is about a young boy name Koji Kabuto(main hero and pilot of Mazinger Z) with his little brother Shiro discovering this robot that his Grandfather Prof. Juzo Kabuto built naming it Mazinger Z but sadly Prof. Kabuto is killed by Baron Ashura who is one of Dr. Hell's henchmen. Mazinger Z was built to fight Dr. Hell who is bent on world conquest with giant Mechanical Beats which he creates using an ancient technology from an ancient civilization that was found on an island know as Bardos Island. It was discovered years ago in an expedition with different scientist (Prof. Juzo Kabuto included) and archaeologist around the world which where all guided by Dr. Hell himself. Suddenly Dr. Hell betrays the expedition team which he reveals his true nature and plans of world domination and proceeds to kill the expedition team. However, Prof. Kabuto manage to escape from the onslaught and heads to Japan where he creates the Photon Research Lab where he discovers the Japanium ore locate at the base of Mount Fuji and creates the Super alloy Z and Photon Energy.He retires from the Photon Research Lab and leaves it in the hands of his successor Prof. Yumi. Prof. Kabuto gives Mazinger Z to his Grandson Koji to pilot it and fight Dr. Hell to stop him on his track for world domination. Along the way Koji will meet friends like Sayaka Yumi( daughter of Prof. Yumi) and here robot Aphrodite A (created in the Photon Power Lab as a symbol of world peace) as well his friendly rivals like Boss.now to the actual disc and such.This series is the actual original one, this is not the horrendous heavy edited version know as Tranzor Z which they made combine footages of 2 series which one is Mazinger Z (the one here) and Great Mazinger(his sequel).-The box art: on the front is very nice and clean, its base pretty much of those use on the actual Japanese dvd/ blue ray versions. At the back of the box it tells you the story about the show with a couple of pics although its not as clean as the front of the box mind you, but it does its job.- The first Mazinger volume is compose of 6 DVD with a total of 46 episodes, all disc has the same image cover which is simple but each one tells you the numbers of the episodes on each disc.- the Menu looks very nice and pretty much straight forward showing the title of the episodes which you can select any, the Play all option and the Subtitle option are available as well.- Video Quality: the videos look very clean for such an old show which im very impress with. mind you that the animation is old so seen it this clean is extremely impressive to be honest.- Audio Quality: it sounds very crisp and clean with no sound grain like sometimes happens in the VHS years ago.- Subtitles: there is only one option which is English Subs and i have to say they did a pretty good job with which is fateful to the actual series with names and everything, unlike other places that makes them very stupid and ridiculous (Giant Omnipotent Iron Knight....WTF?!?!).- Dubs: There is no dubbing of any kind, only the Japaneses Language which is kinda sad but understandable for the licensing issues plus it would be more expensive. but it would have been awesome to hear it in all the languages of the world(except for the Tranzor Z one since they heavy butchered and edited the series to much, however there was a Hawaiian version that was much more true to the show.).- Extra: im afraid there aren't any extra to see so don't expect any of it.Conclusion:I give Kudos to Discotek Media for bringing this show, I never though that someone would be able to bring this series to the Americas at all. Do note that although this volume only brought 46 episodes, the series itself has 92 episodes in total. The other half is gonna be release this December (accordingly to Discotek Media's facebook) so im looking forward on getting it and complete the Mazinger Z saga story and hoping they will be able to bring its sequels (Great Mazinger and UFO Robo Grendizer). Granted that while in the Extra department is laking as well the language dubbing options im still very happy to have this.Do i recommended? yes i do recommend it for everyone to see.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "MAZIN GO!!!"
*by F***M on September 14, 2014*

Before Gurren Lagann, before Neon Evangelion, before Gundam, before Reideen, there was Japan's original weapon of mass destruction, Mazinger Z! And before Dr. Hell and Baron Ashura had their mechanical monster army destroying Tokyo from "Mazinkaiser," over 40 years later, how it ALL began (including the mecha genre), the U.S. release is finally here!"ROCKET PUNCH!" - In early 1970, Go Nagai, the second Japanese Manga artist after Osamu Tezuka, mastered the robot illustration based on Astro Boy, and created the first giant super robot to be driven by a human being called, "Mazinger Zeto," was published in October of 1972. Within a year later, Nagai's Mazinger manga became a huge success as Astro Boy's and Gigantor/Tetseujin's popularity began to fade, Nagai applied Mazin to anime format and the super robot/mecha genre was born.*Mazinger's fist and forearm can launch against or hit an enemy target from a distance.Rocket Punch Power Ups (in later episodes);"IRON CUTTERS!" - A pair of axe-like blades extends from Mazinger's forearms to cut enemies."REINFORCED ROCKET PUNCH!" - The right fist and forearm is reinforced with a super alloy with a gold colored spike armlet."DRILL MISSILE!" - When Rocket Punches are flipping the forearms up from Mazinger's elbows, spiked missiles are fired at his enemies."SPINNING ROCKET PUNCH!" - Mazinger's most powerful attack when rotating his arms very fast, he launches his Rocket Punches. Making his attack faster and more powerful than a normal Rocket Punch."PHOTON BEAM!" - Based on the manga, Dr. Kabuto secretly built a giant super robot called Mazinger Z. Powered by photon energy harnessed from the Photon Institute, equipped with an array of destructive weapons, Mazin's body is Super-Alloy Z (from a new element discovered with his assistant, Dr. Yumi, called "Japanium,") arranged for his grandsons, Kouji and Shiro to defend against Dr. Hell, his lieutenant, Baron Ashura, Iron Masks and their mechanical monsters. Kouji became the first of several teenage manga-anime characters to pilot a super robot before similar military style storylines for Amuro Ray of the original mobile suit Gundam and Hikaru Ichijyo of Super Dimensional Fortress Macross. Among friends and allies, Dr. Yumi, his robot technicians, a giant research robot his daughter, Yumi Sayaka, pilots called Aphrodite A who intentionally assists Kouji in nearly every incident with Mazinger Z while working alongside her father. And Boss Berot (with two of his motorcycle buddies) who bullies his way with Kouji and became the first manga-anime character to build and name his own DIY robot out of junk and scrap parts, after himself for comic relief.*Two powerful laser beams of energy can fire from Mazinger's eyes."RUST HURRICANE!" - After Tezuka's Astro Boy, the success of Mazinger Z widen the popularity of manga and anime worldwide before other super robots followed suit, Mazinger Z merchandise turned up in stores; toy figures, posters, apparrel, etc. as Nagai continued Mazin in sequels and spin-offs after the original series' end with Great Mazinger, UFO Grendizer, anime crossover films (with Devilman, Great Mazinger, Grendizer and Getter Robo G in Nagai's super robot universe), Mazinkaiser, Mazinkaiser SKL and Shin Mazinger Z anime series.*From Mazinger's mouth, a whirlwind of rusting particles casts out making enemy robots rust rapidly and blown away."MISSILE PUNCH!" - Gundam creator, Yoshiyuki Tomino, recently stated he respects the popularity of the super robots but in contrast to Gundam he added, "The super robots are cartoonish from Gundam's reality based world." When I rediscovered Mazinger Z, there is a good percentage of reality in this series with funny but true comedy. Kouji is licensed to drive a motorcycle and a car but not for piloting a flying hovercraft (Pilder) and/or a giant super robot from the first episode, his historic hover docking Pilder on Mazinger's head when he didn't know how to activate docking thrusters and began button mashing the robot's controls (most not labelled except some with single digits and letters) while Gundam's Amuro, easily found the pilot's manual and quickly learned it's operations. Manga and anime experts claim Kouji's historic moment with Mazinger as an "early stage of transforming." Transforming is metamorphing as seen in Getter Robo. Gaiking, Daimos and other super robot transforming combiners. Contrary to them Pilder only folds her wings and docks on Mazinger's head like a space capsule does to a lunar module and the robot activaties.*The abdominal portion opens, and a big missile launches against his enemies."BREAST FIRE!" - Golden-age anime fans waited a long time for this series' original Japanese release years after Spanish, Mexico, Hong Kong import and bootlegged versions. Some are disappointed this version does not have Englsh translated dialogue. Unfortunately, the ONLY English language dubbed version is TranZor Z by Three B. Productions from 1985. TranZor of Mazinger Z, was re-editted for American television viewers due to the edginess in the OJ series consisting 92 episodes, the TranZor set only has 65 of them. And the characters' names were also changed.*From Mazinger's red chest plates, a powerful heat beam is fired at his enemies, burning or melting them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aka Tranzor Z
