Isn't Shin Mazinger Zero all nothing but awful creepy fanservice and excessive super violence? That's all I've ever seen from it.

So it's true to the spirit of Go Nagai?

I really like Shin Mazinger Zero's art, it captures the style and energy of 70s manga while still looking modern and cool. Boss & co look particularly good, it's nice to see how they translate into different styles.

There's some dodgy fanservice but thankfully nothing as bad as the 20 chapters of Rape Namek they dished out in their other manga, Wolf Guy.

And there's at least one fan service scene later on that's directly drawn from Go Nagai's work so yes, very much so.

Oh, that's where I recognized the style. It's a shame, since the dude is a really good artist, but just about everything he does seems to be skeevy at best and 20-chapters-of-explicit-rape at worst.

EDIT: v The female lead of Wolf Guy got kidnapped and raped and the villain streamed it on the internet and taunted the hero into coming to save her. Already pretty hosed up, made infinitely moreso by the fact that throughout the entire arc the manga would cut to her for six-to-seven pages at a time, showing her getting raped in hentai level detail.

Wait, so months ago when the guy posting these scans mentioned this being from the team that brought us "Highschool Teacher Gangbang on Namek," that was referencing an actual thing? I thought that was a joke.

As for Zero, I want to like it. The art is good, and the action moments are good, but that Sayaka stuff is tough to read through. I really get the feeling that the writer is trying to emulate Devilman's, specifically the Amon rewrite of the end, tone in this volume, but even the :stare: parts of that didn't make me feel like I shouldn't read this where other people might see me doing it.

Some guy interviewed Obari at a con recently, where he was there as part of something called Cardcaptor Vanguard. Apparently no-one really knew who he was, so he didn't get much attention and only this guy really interviewed him. Anyways, he asked some questions about the Obari Sword Pose, Pacific Rim, 3D animation and advice for mecha design if anyone's interested. Pic courtesy of /a/ apparently.

Obari being on board would require them to have a budget. That show was so cheap they had to sell officially-licensed porn to fund a second season.

I can't find any good photos yet but each of them will have an alternate Dino mode which has me pretty hyped for a sorta' possibly maybe upcoming anime!

Did they actually confirm an anime when they announced the dino Getters? It came up during Clawshrimpy's reign of terror, so it didn't get a whole lot of discussion, and I can't bring myself to wade back into that.

From what I remember, the poster only said, "Dino Getter" and that it was a collab between Dynamic Pro and Sentinel Co for 2014.

Cool. I was worried that he completely burned out after Bryger. When he wants to, Crinn can be one hell of a translating machine. Always good to have another old mecha show that will get subs at a reasonable rate.

Finish Turn A since it is a lot better than Jeeg. Jeeg's not bad but as far as 70s super robot remakes go it's somewhere in the middle.
