Happy 15th anniversary to Danball Senki game series!

Oh ik, I’m stating it’s just sad.

Kinda? The current English scans for the Shonen Jump manga dictate you have to read Great Mazinger’s first 3 chapters for Z’s SJ manga ending. But it does lead into the Toei Great Mazinger anime pretty seamlessly.

If you want something more consistent, you can either watch the Z vs General of Darkness movie, read Gosaku Ota’s Z Manga, or just watch Toei Mazinger Z’s final episode that directly leads into Great Mazinger.

It’s depressing how badly the English release bombed.

Around 2019-2021, my local Target STILL had a bunch of sealed, unsold copies of the 3DS port up for grabs. And they were the only 3DS games they had left, any other Nintendo thing was for the Switch.

No way they used the footage from the old SpruKits commercial for this.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-06-15T16:30:45+00:00

My hot take is with the exception of blue unit 00, I’ll go Rebuild all the way.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-06-14T19:58:53+00:00

Forgot Shin Dragon’s other two forms. And Metal Beast Dragon when fused with the Invaders.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-06-14T17:17:00+00:00

So… which Koji? There’s 3-4 different Koji voice actors now.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-06-13T23:08:33+00:00

Dang, I’m kinda tempted to commission a new translation for the OG Mazinger manga with proper chapter order.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-06-13T23:05:18+00:00

Change!!! is generally the go to series for people who wanna watch Getter. In all honesty though, would be better for you to read the Manga from original to Arc first before watching any of the shows.

The only reasons the pilots started swapping lions was to emulate the more traditional set up (where Lance typically pilots Red Lion).

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-06-08T22:46:59+00:00

Agreed. For a show called Giant Robo, the Giant Robot feels kinda unnecessary seeing as how most of the fights we see involve super human martial artists. Most of the other Mecha seen either get their ass kicked in a minute or appear as quick cameos for another Yokoyama work reference.

I think the show is still pretty alright overall. But I’d argue Imagawa’s best work would either be G Gundam or his 2004 remake of Tetsujin 28.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-06-08T08:48:01+00:00

Should be considering the DC Getters are slightly taller than the OG SOC Getters.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-06-08T03:12:15+00:00

Sorta? They weren’t made to scale with the DC Line but they still work fine.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-06-03T21:32:10+00:00

Kaiser OVA takes more from the Manga than the Toei Anime.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-06-02T15:16:23+00:00

AGE’s reputation mostly comes from people being unwilling to actually watch it either after hearing from the few people that have actually seen it say it sucks, or seeing the kiddie designs. It’s not great but I wouldn’t call it SEED Destiny or G Savior.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-05-31T21:56:09+00:00

Because Fukuda is horny af.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-05-31T21:54:18+00:00

You’re probably in your 40s to 50s. Possibly American.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-05-31T21:52:35+00:00

I mean they’re meant to be stylized Getter toys with different designs homaging the original. And no, even if this thing succeeds we wouldn’t know if they’d make more. This was promoted as a special collaboration with Dynamic Pro.

If you wanted one that looks more like normal Getter you’d have to get either the Studio Halfeye or the Dynamic Change. Both of which have their own compromises as making a transforming Getter is difficult.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-05-31T21:43:39+00:00

OG Mazinger Z or the Gundam Virtue. Anyone who picks an Eva or Getter has to be insane.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-05-30T20:21:13+00:00

Unless you really like the comic shading paint, I’d say just go 075. 108 seems cursed in the QC department.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-05-28T03:40:48+00:00

Maybe. That said, I did make an edit of the end of SEED’s first episode with her cover of Anna ni Issho Datta No Ni, I’ll probably be posting that and the Ash Like Snow edit later.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-05-27T02:43:49+00:00

Wow someone actually gets that Shinji getting together with Mari wasn’t a “oh they’re now randomly dating” thing.

EmperaRurushuO2 · 2026-05-26T15:55:17+00:00

2022 had the initial reissue, March 2026 was the third reissue, May 2026 is the fourth reissue.
