The definition of starting off strong and becoming incredibly mid i had to watch it 1.2x.
The start of the ep is actually really compelling as it shows total devastation, characters being absolutely butchered and so on but the rest of it really messes up everything randomly changing the tone of the OVA to a light hearted one. THE LAST FIGHT IS SUPPOSED TO BE EPIC WHY IS IT 5 MINS LONG BRUH.
The animation is nothing special and at times its worse than the original 7 mins series. The theme song is mid and every dialogue is ass: now don't get me wrong i wouldn't mind it in a mecha anime but here omfg its the whole ass movie
don't waste 1 hour

Mazinkaiser: Deathmatch! General Dark is a semi remake of the original Mazinger Z vs the great General of Darkness Movie by Toei Animation from the 70'S , its a step up in Animation, and character designs, this is also a action pack movie for the Mazinger franchise, it's a shame we shouldn't get a sequel to get a Vs the Emperor of Darkness, pros the animation and Robot designs ( Again ) Cons The need of wanting more , and also this Mazinkaiser Movie doesn't really fit with the Mazinkaiser OVA all that well
It's a good watch , it's not the best with characters, but its is at the action

It's September 6th, and that means it's Go Nagai's birthday. Following the success of the Mazinkaiser OVA, this movie was produced to give the Mazinger franchise a proper climax until Shin Mazinger would be released six years later to reboot it. Taking inspiration from the Great General of Darkness plot of the Mazinger Z TV series, said villain launches a worldwide attack with the Mikene army. National landmarks are destroyed and multiple Mazinger characters die as they fail to combat the enemy army. Most of the movie is Kouji and Sayaka trying desperately to get back to Mazinkaiser as many people sacrifice themselves to ensure he gets there safely.
This is drastically different in tone from…

Almost exactly the opposite of the mazinkaiser Ova series
This final addition to the Mazinkaiser franchise has the much needed depth in drama, and gore, that the Mazinkaiser Ova lacked
I feel so bad having to post-pone this amazing movie thinking that it was just the same as the series, but boy have I wronged myself
Right off the bat you are greeted and spoiled with scenes you cannot imagine being incorporated into the Mazinger universe
As a long childhood fan, I loved this addition to the series, I could feel it expanded the audience's taste while at the same time maintaining that classic lustrous feel that all the mazinger fans came to apprecaite and love
Ps: Do watch the series before the movie, that way you don't miss out on some of the events :)

Almost the opposite of the other Mazinkaiser OVA series (not SKL) this one could have been very good as a longer series and by adding truer darker events in it's plot line allowed itself to build the shallow characters in ways the original OVA series didn't.
That said, I can't recommend this as a stand alone since when I watched this I thought this was the conclusion to the OVA series and not a separate series which is why I had a high enjoyment of this so much because of the way it seems to be saving the Mazinkaiser OVA series in general.
The premise, action and events were so good (for a Super Robot lover) that despite the poor boss battle scene at the end, I rate the story a 10 but that last battle scene is still something that needs to be watched out.
I can't speak for all Super Rob…
