Mazinkaiser SKL [Blu-ray]

Go nagai is awesome.

This is yet another take on the Mazinger Z character. The DVD is non stop action, LITERALLY! The show opens and WHAM ,action packed! The Heavy Metal influence and extreme robot on monster violence means little kids should stay away from this one. My only complaint is the movie is a little short but if you like Mazinger and super robots from Japan you will love this one.

Excellent serie

Amazing!

Mazinkaisser SKL looks amazing on blu-ray. There is a story, its not complicated, that's not why you watch this. The robot design is badass, the animation superb and the music rocks, that is why you watch this.

The Cover came Broken.

I fully enjoyed watching this for the action that was displayed. You definitely won't be watching this for the story; but instead for the amount of mechs that will be fighting on screen. The artwork was great and constantly on the move, and I loved seeing Mazinkaiser in action again; even though this isn't the same one that we have all grown to love. Some of the robots that are in this anime are ones from the older series while there are some new ones; but with so many on the screen, you will realize that there are actually only a few that are used. There is a lot of recycling between the mechs which is only a tad bothersome. I would have rated this 4 stars; but the reason Mazinger is one of my favorite series since the 80's was because the destruction of the mechs was very detailed, to the wiring that was involved and the cracks in the armor. When a robot is destroyed here, it is treated very organic; swords slice through metal like flesh and oil flows like blood. If your a fan of the series, then you will know what I mean. Overall, I would recommend this to any fan of anime, especially if your tired of watching them because of dialogue which bogs down so many of them nowadays.Side note: If you can find this at a store near you, then I would suggest buying through them. I ordered this through Amazon and when I received it, the DVD was sliding around in the case. When I opened it up, I saw that the DVD had a crack in the center which caused it to become unreadable at a point forcing me to skip 2 minutes. the part that holds the DVD in the case doesn't hold it very tight. Not saying that this will happen to you, just that it happened to me this once. I don't blame Amazon for this and has nothing to do with my review. It pisses me off when people review products on the delivery and not the product itself.

Superb audio and video. A modern and cool revisitation of Mazinger
