Introduction
Dr. Hell and his Mechanical Beasts are back, and they're more dangerous than ever before. Kouji Kabuto and Tetsuya Tsurugi fight a fierce battle against these hellish machines, which are under the command of Baron Ashura. Unfortunately, they are defeated, with Kouji's Mazinger Z being captured and Tetsuya's Great Mazinger seriously damaged by the enemy.
The devious Dr. Hell quickly converts the captured robot into Ashura Mazinger and uses it to attack the Photo Power Lab. At the same time, Kouji is missing in action, which leaves Testuya to defend the lab in the damaged Great Mazinger. But the forces of Dr. Hell are too strong, even for a brave pilot such as Tetsuya, and all seems to be lost.
The battle seems to be drawing to a close, until an overpowering blast fired by an unknown robot destroys the entire Mechanical Beast army. Could this mysterious robot be the legendary Mazinkaiser, and who is piloting it?

After many years i decided to re watch it and i knew that i shouldn't be expecting some crazy plot, characters or really anything that makes a series good normally, with this being a mecha and all. I was in for the cool ass fights and animation and i was GLAD i finally found them, however they always feel a little too easy or even short and since that's really all the good the series offers it's sad. The final and first episode were actually cool but the others were so average i was sitting through most of em. The beach ep has some peak fanservice which i usually hate but yk my standards are low when watching mecha.
That being said it's aight, the opening is a BANGER

Ah , yeah Mazinkaiser the Super Robot classic , Mazinkaiser was a Super Robot Wars creation infuse with Photon energy and Getter Rays ( C From Getter Robo series of anime ) here its origin as a Phototype of Mazinger Z , a much more powerful Mazinkaiser is a hugely weird concept being the prototype is more powerful than its two successors Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger , but hey its anime , the OVA is huge in action, less on the characters, and that not a bad thing , the Mazinkaiser OVA is a must watch for any Mechahead , pros the Animation and Robot designs, cons the Beach Episode, and the Mazinkaiser backstory

Although it would strike anyone as another childish anime
It has been actually one of my big childhood favorites
and although it doesn't pack any seriousness behind its plot or drama (if there's any) it does have its own lustrous style
Mazinkaiser takes the viewer to the ultimate Mazinger Z form of robots, being an advanced form more even than the Great Mazinger, it provides amazing fight scenes and marvelous drawing, that will keep you excited and on edge throughout the whole series
I certainly loved it, and loved how they re-introduced the beloved characters (villains or heroes) of the Mazinger Z universe
If you're a fan of Mecha anime in general or Mazinger Z in particular you cannot miss this show, you can never go wrong when it is a Mazinkaiser show :)

Although there is already a 5 review, I disagree with the reviewer on one aspect in that he concludes that it was the lack of over-arching plot that hurts this show.
I just can't view it that way because this is how it is for classic Super Robots and this remake could be considered as elevating the quality of these normally tedious Super Robot stories.
If anything had Mazinkaiser been further modernized as having an over-arching plot it will only worsen the depth of the characters involved in this series.
That said, Mazinkaiser primarily failed in my opinion because it wasn't able to elevate the same euphoric feeling the original SRW Mazinkaiser had which was a design that was so good that if you are just a bit interested in classic Super Robots could make up for everything else about t…

Mazinkaiser is based on one of the first super robot shows, Go Nagai's Mazinger Z. I'd heard a lot of good things about this seven episode OVA so I was excited to see it. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as I was led to believe. Mazinkaiser is also the name of the main giant robot in this show. It was originally created for the Super Robot Wars video games and apparently the fan reaction was so good that they decided to make an OVA series based on it. It's set in the Mazinger Z universe with the same characters as Mazinger Z. The characters are pretty archetypal; there's the hero that solves everything with bravery and manly yelling, there's the silly comic relief character, there's the girl, there's the scientist guys that do maintenance on the robots, there's the evil nemesis that wants…
