| In the latest issue of Megami magazine, it was announced that the "Toei Robot Girls" project will get a new anime. It will be called "Toei Robot Girls Z" and consist of nine 10-minute episodes to start airing on Toei Channel from January 2014. The story revolves around a new team of "Toei robot girls" named "Team Z" that is made up of three girls based on Toei's Mazinger Z franchise: Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, and UFO Robot Grendizer. Usually they perform in activities around Nerima ward in Tokyo to raise the awareness of the promising future energy source "Photon Power" (koushiryoku). However, there are times when "Mechanical Beast" team of girls emerge from the "Subterranean Empire" and attempt to steal the energy. Thus "Team Z" has to battle them to prevent this, though sometimes they just go and beat up the "bad girls" to relieve stress. "Toei Robot Girls" project started life in 2009 with a weekly release of 4-koma manga (which lasted until February 2013). Merchandise and art books were also released over the years. In July 2011, it was adapted into a pilot anime video "Toei Robot Girls" that was based on the robots Baratak, Gakeen, and Gaking.

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Only 10 minutes each....hmm....and apparently also "dual themes of slice-of-life gag humor and violence". LOL. |

| Might watch. Cute girls and nice cast, so why not? |
| This is the closest Grendizer show we're getting in 2000s. Good thing it's only 10minute per episode |

| I don't even with this. I would've preferred a TV series of Mazinkaiser SKL. |
 |
| This looks amazing... I'll watch once I catch up with all the referenced shows, which will take incredibly long. |
| nghhhhhhhhhhh. Is nothing sacred anymore? Dragon_Slayer_X said: Give me back my old mecha shows...........pretty please!!! Z-chan, Gai-chan??? What's next? Next Gundam will be all about a simple highschool student finding a 8 year old cyborg girl, Gundam-Tan, who asks him to be her pilot. |

Fai said: One has already been released and instead of Gundam-Tan, her name is VVV-Tan. And I see you already gave it a 10/10 ( ¬‿¬) Next Gundam will be all about a simple highschool student finding a 8 year old cyborg girl, Gundam-Tan, who asks him to be her pilot. (Don't worry, I also give it a 10 too though my score might change depending on S2.......really??) |
| I see a lot of Vividred elements in that PV, with less fan service and more rainbow colored beams though. |

Dizzee said: More lolicons, atleast they got some clothes on. I don't think this is an anime about lolicons... Unless the lolis in the show are lolicons... Is it possible for a loli to be a lolicon? |
 |
| @Fai That I can agree with ^^. So, you were talking about that kind of show then, my bad. Can't wait for S2 to air though. Let's end it here since this is out-topic and I'm aware I might be dragging it lol.

| only 10 mins hum |
| Sounds like it will be shit and it will be its a pass for me. I prefer traditional mecha anime like Gundam not this. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I totally already want to do cosplay from this. |
| Wow, this new series pleases me greatly! My only gripe is that the episodes will be short. :[ I will still watch this! :D |
| Ooh, this actually looks like a lot of fun. I love the animation. Time to catch up on some super robot anime so I can pick up on the references. |
