 A press release by Toei Animation revealed on Thursday that an anime film based on Go Nagai's Mazinger Z franchise is in production. Tentatively titled Gekijouban Mazinger Z, the film is commemorating the series' 45th anniversary. Toei Animation is producing the film, and Toei will be in charge of distribution. More information will be announced at the project's special stage event at AnimeJapan 2017 on March 26. Mazinger Z was serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump for 33 chapters between October 1972 and August 1973. A 92-episode TV anime adaptation by Toei Animation aired between Winter 1972 and Summer 1974. The series has inspired four TV anime, three OVA series, and several movies. Discotek Media licensed the TV anime for North American distribution and released the series in two DVD boxes in April and December of 2014. Official site: http://www.mazinger-z.jp/ Source: Anime!

| im gonna watch this one, i have seen Mazinger Z TV series on AXN-Asia channel back in the 1990s |
| What a time to be alive. Will it be more Toeizinger or will it be more close to the manga? |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| I was hoping for the sequel of Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen :< |

| Awesome news, looking forward to it. People are completely right to criticize modern Toei though, they put out terrible quality in pretty much everything including their modern sequels to old IPs. Them animating the original adaptation is completely irrelevant. That said, I'm still excited to see it despite it likely being of low quality at least animation-wise and not feeling the movie format is a good fit for Mazinger. |

| I havent seen anything from this franchise, but I'm assuming the film will be new viewer friendly. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
