What is wrong has nothing to do with glorious violence and unfettered BIG BANG PUNCHING…
While there was a fight in this episode it wasn’t the BIG FIGHT, still it was one of the funniest episodes. Sayako bears the brunt of the crude humor, but to be honest since she is as useless as Aphrodai A I don’t really care for her at all. Certainly she doesn’t light the fires of my fanboy adoration like Alphard onee-sama, and as such I found it easy to laugh at the attempted gang raep, and Sayako and Kouji’s fun time at the onsen. Hell even the narrator was in on it by mocking them and their flirtatious behavior before the BIG FIGHT. At least they didn’t waste our time with trying to make this SayakoxKouji relationship to be a big deal and since this is Super Robot I was pleased that they went with heavy handed romance and didn’t pretend that it was otherwise, plus they got trolled. Say what you will about Mazinger Z but that narrator is one of the best damn ones I have seen in a while, I bet it would have made that Cosmic Era shit go down easier if they went with a narrator such as the one from Mazinger Z. Other things of note was that Ankokuji was working for the IAEA and called bullshit on Yumi’s Photonic program which is simply a cover for producing WMDs. Tsubasa is getting ready to fight Kenzo, but takes her kids to visit Juuzo’s grave. Dr. Hell pushes for a one on one fight but instead of havin Dr. Hell vs. Kouji Baron Ashura steps up after putting the Mazinger Army back in its place and kicking the crap out of Venus A on her first sortie. Venus A does indeed suck as it uses Z Cutters instead of going with ROCKET PUNCH in line with the Mazinger Army having downgraded versions of Mazinger Z’s weapons arsenal. As such at least the Mazinger Army had one good sortie while Venus A has none…Boss was giving Kouji crap despite his Boss Borot being made of paper and paste, worst of all Shiro started mouthing off too despite being pretty useless himself it was pretty funny since both are already laughing stocks for insulting Mazinger Z every time Kouji loses. At any rate BIG FIGHT next time; BIG FIGHT, BIG FIGHT. I do hope that Kouji calls in his God Scrander so that he me SHINE IN THE NAME OF ZEUS and SMASH ASHURA INTO ATOMS!
LOL Gang raep in my Mazinger Z.
Says Kouji as he is winking noticeably…
Serves you right for wanting a monument to your arrogance Sayako.
Lecherous Pilot is Lecherous, but at least a confirmed hetero.
Meh, Sayako doesn’t light my world on fire the way Alphard does, still at least Sayako has a following, lecherous though it may be.
This so very wrong yet so Japanese…
All too easy…
Bah Sayako doesn’t have a V shaped ahoge…obviously this is based on a different woman, hopefully one that wasn’t so easy…
I could not help but snicker at Sayoko’s boast.
…
Way to go Kouji and Sayako!
Launching the Gundam…
Damn things must be bad at Bardos Island if they are using infomercial products as mechanical beasts.
Ankokuji is still basking in Gamia-chan’s glow…
Not even Iran is safe from photonic trolling…
The IAEA will not be fooled!
They just use spackle to cover up the dents…
They hope that the red will make it 3 times faster…
Boss prays that with this he might bag a few lolis just like Char.
Oddly enough because of Boss Borot’s paper thing armor it actually weighs less than a ton…
Well Gamia-chan does prefer funny guys.
Obligatory shot of Gamia-chan.
Tsubasa is looking forward to kicking Kenzo’s ass.
Tsubasa is looking forward to Kenzo’s funeral as well…
NEVAR FORGET!
A finer butt plug does not exist.
Wooooo! Kouji is going to fight an old man and BIG BANG PUNCH him back to the old folks home.
No other mecha has pulled off the one boob look nearly as well…
So much for two boobs are better than one…
Agent of Love and Beauty, the pretty sailor suited soldier Sailor Venus! In the name of Love, I will punish you!
Not as interesting as a ROCKET PUNCH would have been but alas…
YAWN…
So much for Sayoko’s boast.
That’s what you get for flirting before the BIG FIGHT. Had you committed the crime of shopping prior to the BIG FIGHT Zeus would HAVE SMASHED YOU INTO ATOMS!
Sayaoko is so stupid she’s still wondering despite ample proof that she can’t win.
5:1 ratio of fanservice in favor of MANSERVICE with some added Shoutaro-boy…
Boss was telling a story about the jobs he used his hands for…
FUCK YOU SHIRO I WANT MY SEQUEL.
Oh Boss you will always be a laughing stock…
So desperate to lose our virginity aren’t we…
Boss is so getting the uncensored DVD just for that.
What not even to wave your ass in his face as a show of contempt?
That’s not fair… Baron Ashura should have brought more…

Sayaka, comrade, Sayaka.
This is a great setup to the climax, but we’re still missing how the heck the Great General of Darkness fits in all this (and where there’s the Great General, you’re sure that Great Mazinger is coming). We’ve seen NO trace of the Myceneans reawakening so far (barring Gorgon’s apparition), but it should be soon.
Whatever comrade Sayaka’s name is not worth remembering to spell correctly, given how she is such an underwhelming performer.
I dearly hope that you are right and that we get an extension as part of the deal. I hope that Gorgon’s prophecy comes true.
Does anybody know how much of a success is this show in Japan, that will pretty much determine the fate of a sequel.
I used to watch the original show back when I was a child, I only saw 26 episodes at the time I was 5 or 6 years old back then. Since then Mazinger Z has been my favorite show ever.
This new incarnation of the show is like a godsend for me, I find difficult to express how much I like the show, it is like Mazinger for grown-ups, the only thing I miss is a few more sequences of Mazinger kicking Mechanical beast’s asses.
But to compensate we get Tsubasa kicking everybody’s ass all day long.
Hell I even started to like Boss character which I never did back in the day. Sayaka is better in this show because she doesn’t get in the way.
I hope the big fight doesn’t dissapoint.
Not sure how well it is doing over there but I’d imagine that they should be doin well given how this franchise is venerable. I like that it is less enemy of the week and that the highlights focus on how screwed up the Kabuto family is and how Zeus was kicking ass and taking heads.
I hope the BIG FIGHT will SHINE IN THE NAME ZEUS.
the big fight had better be the greatest contribution in all of human culture that hasn’t been seen since macross frontier and TTGL
*lol at the 4th to last screencap* so desperate that they’re doing it wrong.. unless kouji was aiming to attempt paizuri whilst in mid-flight
