| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Good finale, although I am a bit disappointed that Hell could escape. About the Doctor: nice topless scene ! Tetsuya and Jun's comeback is a pleasant touch and their absence was justified well enough. The idea of the "real" best version of Great Mazinger being Jûzo's work makes sense since he's Mazinkaiser's creator too here but I dislike how it makes Kenzô's unit a poor copy of his father's works. Kôji got a sword! 4/5 Was the big boss a lookalike of the Hell Guardian at the end of Mazinger Z? Fun and perfect hommage to Mazinger aimed at fans exclusively. Sufficiently Nagai-esque. The "OAV quality" grants a good animation where it counts: the action scenes of our old figures , becoming humans for more impact. The drawings were both faithful and nice (in a pretty bold line style), decent musics (heroic sounding like it should) and great song. Original cast (though 30years later, Kôji's voice seems too old for this hot-headed high school hero). The story? It's Mazinger's. Score: 7.5+/10 An out-of-era finely crafted product for fans. |

| damn mazinger fans are lame. (not the work by itself) finally tetsuya came to help! i feel like the last two ovas had re used ideas from the tv series as impersonate dr. yumi or trying to throw mazinger to a volcano xD dr. hell defeated by one dildo or whatever thing boss handed to koji before, how humiliating. very regular ova 6/10. |

| As soon as Kouji pulled out the Kaiser Blade I was ready for him to strike the Obari Pose, and I was not disappointed xD That was a pretty epic showdown with Ashura at the end, but who the hell was the ghost that coached Kouji into unlocking the Kaiser Blade? Overall loved this OVA. It didn't bother me that a lot of the plots were recycled, and in fact I even enjoyed it more because of that. The remixes of those old stories with modern animation (at the time) really put a smile on my face. And god damn if the mech battles weren't sexy. 8/10 |

| That was a sick-ass finale if I've seen one. I absolutely loved Kouji using that... metal stick? Boss handed him in the previous episode. Boss is the true MVP of the Mazinger franchise lmao. The final fight against Asura was one of the coolest things I've seen in a hot minute, the music definitely helped. Out of every Mazinger entry I've experienced at this point, Mazinkaiser is definitely my favorite so far. A lot of my complaints here are complaints I share with the original manga and it's sequel (those characters mostly being two-dimensional, Tetsuya being nothing outside of a Mazinger pilot, the way Sayaka is reduded to a damsel in distress too often despite being a more experienced pilot, etc.). But the OVA is still a solid watch from start to finish and has made for a fun time. A 7/10 from me. |
MrLegitimacy said: who the hell was the ghost that coached Kouji into unlocking the Kaiser Blade? This is just speculation on my part, but I believe he's meant to be the prophet from the original "Mazinger Z vs. General of Darkness" movie from 1974. |
