MECHA GENRE STATUS : SAVED

CGI INDUSTRY STATUS : SAVING IN PROGRESS

The Mazinger redesign isn't the best, but everything else is HYP

Leave Sunrise to us.

...

>CGI Robots
>ugly modernization of a great robot design
>stiff and boring character art
Yeah, "saving mecha", sure.

なんか知らんがが帰れ

>ugly modernization of a great robot design
It was NEVER a good design to begin with.

>save mecha
>CGI

please don't revive me for this shit

Say that again to my face

>stiff and boring character art
Fuck you.

I'll take CGI Robots over this any day.

Mazinger was my first mecha and first anime. Hope these faggots don't fuck it up.

WHERE'S THE SHIN MAZINGER SEQUEL

FUCK THIS REBOOT SHIT

GET IMAGAWA BACK

I wished the whole thing was 2d animated, but the problem is... I don't think Toei has anyone skilled in 2d mecha animation, and in recent years, they've been working hard on cgi.

Mazinkaiser SKL under Actas looked fucking good.

It's not only a reboot, but actually a sequel to the original trilogy. It's not Mazinger, it's Toeizinger. They're not the same.

...

Toei Robo Girls looked good though.

...

Robot Girls Z was that girls, and they were shorts.

Animating mecha is another skill.

>Mazinkaiser SKL under Actas looked fucking good.
Unfortunately, it had some of the least impressive fights ever seen in a mecha anime. Impressive how they managed to make something so badass as SKL be so boring.

>a sequel to the original trilogy.
Trilogy as in Mazinger -> Great -> Kaiser? This is a sequel to Mazinkaiser? Weird, but interesting.

>It's not only a reboot, but actually a sequel to the original trilogy. It's not Mazinger, it's Toeizinger. They're not the same.
Well that's generally the way to go. Sequel that mysteriously seemed to resemble the original show is easier to swallow for old fans than "your old show is obsolete and is now replaced!"

...

That's one half-decent drawing and it's still not that good.

A TV series with more complicated robot designs resorting to shortcuts has no relation to what a feature film could be capable of doing.

I liked SKL fights and the ova in general.

Forget what I said. What I meant is sequel to Mazinger Z. Apparently this new movie takes place like 10 years or more after the events of the original. I don't know if that includes Great Mazinger and Grendizer in that time period. Kaiser is in another continuity entirely.

Shin Mazinger wasn't a Mazinger reboot anyway. It had some backlash from old Mazinfags, but even the staff said they were'nt rebooting Mazinger Z. In fact, the whole project was supposed to be adapting Nagai's 1999 Z Mazinger manga originally.

You can stop being a contrarian now. There is nothing wrong with the character designs.

>tfw I missed Go Nagai at Annecy
I live so close yet forgot about it

You also missed Del Toro who was at the event as well.

MAZIN... GO!

I'm not being a contrarian, I genuinely don't like the character art that we've seen for this film. Why do you think that's so hard to believe?

>Not Z-Hen sequel
What's the point.

I tried getting into mazinger but what turned me off was how they are always fighting the same goddamn villains every time, I am not familiar with old style mecha but I guess you're just suppose to enjoy seeing the same baddies get destroyed over and over again?

Did you watch Shin Mazinger, Mazinkaiser and Mazinkaiser SKL?

Did you try Robot Girls Z?

There's no reason to change perfection.

>Why do you think that's so hard to believe?
Are you a Toei Mazinfag or not? Because if you are, the original character designs for the TV show weren't that great. These new ones are clearly an update on those.

Meanwhile Shin Mazinger and Mazinkaiser were an update on the manga designs.

>screaming chuuni manchildren on cgi robots
No thanks. I'll have my Okada hand-drawn Gundam.

Actually, the original show-like shots are probably just the movie's opening sequence or flashbacks. For example, they show Mazinger Z launching from the old tv lab, but then there's also this cut to a completely new one. There's a shot of a significantly older professor Yumi and Sayaka seems to be wearing a lab coat.

Also, there's what looks like some kind of GM (mass produced friendly design) Mazinger at the end of the trailer, alongside another new silhouette.

...

>Gundam

Great Mazinger happens right after original.
>In fact, the whole project was supposed to be adapting Nagai's 1999 Z Mazinger manga originally.
Well, it did exactly that in some way.

It only used some elements from it like Zeus etc. The plot was mostly based on the original manga, and Ken Ishikawa's relic of terror, with some cameos from Violence Jack and other Nagai works sprinkled all over the place.

Yes, but I don't know how much they plan to focus on Great Mazinger and possibly Grendizer for this movie.

It might be a Saint Seiya movie clusterfuck if they decide to shoehorn in Great and Gren into the plot.

Mazinger's design is the most basic bitch super robot you can get, it being iconic doesn't change that. But you're probably a goddamned spic so talking to you is a waste of time.

>mecha
>always some edgy shit aimed at teenagers

You can not defend this shit mechafags.

Actually, Shin Mazinger is a chop suey of a few Mazinger series, not a mirror adaptation of the original, pre-Toei influence manga. It's a combination of ideas from God Mazinger, Original Mazinger manga (again, before Toei pushed Nagai to change the tone so as to the first TV series), and Mazinkaiser, as far as I know, with cameos from other series as the user mentioned.

>a nostalgia movie for a show from the 70's
>teenagers

>Mazinger
>edgyshit
Wow I didn't know Sup Forums could be this stupid.

I guess people from the 70s were real edgelords, or maybe the new generation has pussified beyond belief.

Why the flying fuck would I bother defending my tastes on a board dedicated to watching FOTM moeshit?

Sup Forums's taste has been invariably shit since its conception, don't bother responding.

>322 KB
FUCK YES
>Toei
FUCK NO

The robot is shiny and the combat looks nice but the character direction looks dry as sand.

It has nothing to do with God Mazinger and Mazinkaiser was basically manga adaptation already with little to none original content.
To be fair, Nagai isn't a stranger to the edge and Mazinger had some edgy adaptations.

I mean, if you're talking about modern "reboots" like Shin Mazinger ZERO, then yeah it's edgy but we're talking about the 70s reboot here, not a spinoff.

>To be fair, Nagai isn't a stranger to the edge and Mazinger had some edgy adaptations.
Yeah but we're talking about Toei here. The TV series were toned down compared to the manga.

>not liking milf Sayaka

>this is the same board which fellates ttgl, code geass and evangelion, the epitome of edgy shit aimed at teenagers

Someone post the breast fire webm for srw v

Story here :

It has been 10 years since then. Humanity awaits a new fate.
Once humanity was on the verge of destruction at the hands of the evil scientist Dr. Hell and his underground empire. Kōji Kabuto, his Mazinger Z super robot, and his friends at the photon power laboratory put an end to Dr. Hell's evil ambitions, and returned peace to the world.

It has been 10 years since then. Kōji has followed his father and grandfather and now walks the path of a scientist. He encounters a mysterious life form buried in a giant structure buried deep below Mt. Fuji. A new encounter, a new threat, and a new fate await humanity. And Kōji, who was once a hero, makes a decision for the future.

It can be a god or a demon.

Once again the future is entrusted to Mazinger Z.

I expected the CGI to look similar to the Captain Harlock movie, which would have been fine, but this? It's simply amazing. It's better than what I expected, and it fits Mazinger Z PERFECTLY.
Thank you, based Toei.

Nice. This sounds good.

No webm

>(again, before Toei pushed Nagai to change the tone so as to the first TV series)

Nah, the tv series' tone was pretty close to the manga's in Mazinger's case. It's just the direction itself was weird, often hurting the serious scenes. There were goofy as shit scenes right next to people getting blown up in dramatic episodes. It also takes much longer to get to more serious climatic battles since the anime itself is much longer. But even anime original one shot stories also could get rather dark, like episode 67, and, for example, although the Lorelei adaptation doesn't use iconic shots from the manga and changes designs for no reason, the plot outline is mostly the same.

The "tone" of the manga changes later because it moves to a different anime promotional magazine, and so the chapters published there are basically just one shot fillers featuring new robots and characters that already were introduced by the anime. It's clear Go Nagai just wasn't putting effort into those chapters.

When it goes into Great Mazinger, which is the actual continuation of the Shounen Jump Mazinger Z chapters, it goes right back to the previous style.

Shin Mazinger ZERO's Dr. Hell is Based.

I particularly like that we're actually dealing with an adult Kouji instead of Teen Kouji like the original.

Actually not even the protagonist is a teenager anymore.

>latest release for Shing Mazinger Zero was 253d ago
It's not fair. It looks so fucking cool.

Dynamic Pro has went on complete radio silence for more than a year, it's heart wrenching, nobody knows where he is.

In the original, Kouji was 16 years old, meaning that he's 26 in this one. What I'm actually interested to see is his little brother Shiro. He must have grown a lot since.

Kemono Friends saved anime while being CGI. Now it's Mazinger's turn.

MAZINGER ZERO WHEN AAAAAAHHHHHH

The struggle is too familiar. I got blueballed on last night's thread, thought this was related to Shin Mazinger ZERO.

>Wish for Mazinger Zero anime
>Expect Madhouse/Bones
>Gets XEBEC instead and they do what they did to Triage X
Do not tempt the Monkey's Paw

Toei is too invested in CGI, but I like it!
youtube.com/watch?v=AFSziKcMXL0

Toei understands better than anyone else in Japan that CGI is the future of anime.

Not before the Mazin Emperor G OVA.

>it will get even better with time

I can't stand this shitty Western CG style. Actually I just hate CG.

>I can't stand this shitty Western CG style
What the fuck do you stand then?

>Also, there's what looks like some kind of GM (mass produced friendly design) Mazinger at the end of the trailer, alongside another new silhouette.
Well the trailer imply that they are getting multiple monsters per battle now, so more help is always welcome.

>Toei understand the cheapest way to animate things

ftfy

Of course. How can they continue slave labour if their cost of production keeps rising?

>it isnt even that funny anymore, all the most recent episodes have just been gay jokes
He's probably talking about how the shading in the Saint Seiya movie doesn't attempt to make it look 2d, just going for standard 3d shading like most western 3d movies.

Who are you quoting?

Bitch please, spics will love this because it's Toei and not Imagawa's Shin Mazinger.

I'm not a spic and I like both.

I don't understand /m/'s Pedro meme. Are spics supposed to hate Nagai or love him?

both

up

Spics who try to be contrarians hate Nagai.

Sup Forums is for moe anime only

You do realize back in the 1960s when everyone loved anime & manga because it was full of badass fighting and manly men moe was invented by now infamous talentless hack Go Nagai when he decided his manga needed to have a dumb moeblob mecha pilot instead of an actual character?? He also invented a literal moebot for her to pilot instead of a real giant robot.

Moezinger is Sup Forums

Is JAM Project going to sing a theme for this?

The Guardian > Kanjite Knight

>jam project
I haven't heard that name in a very long time.

Kanjite Knight ≥ The Guardian

Mazin Kenzan > Kanjite Knight = The Guardian

youtube.com/watch?v=Vg2vHtCEl1E

They resolve that plot in SRW anyways.

Fire wars = Gate of hell

>maybe the new generation has pussified beyond belief.
Not for nothing the most popular shows nowadays are SoL with little girls.

Is there a problem?

Just wait for little disappointed academia is over, then will get a mecha anime from trigger

>mecha anime from trigger
No thanks.
