Mazinkaiser SKL is a simple, stupid, pointless story. "Plot" in SKL is merely a means to an end, a vessel with which the soul of this show can be delivered. Random anime powers and technology with almost enough explanation to make sense. That's not what is important in this show, however. Neither is the setting or lore. What's important is being BADASS.
Spinning around with akimbo pistols slaughtering countless waves of worthless enemies. Rising out of the crust of the earth with fire erupting around the 50ft Mazinkaiser Skull. Using a giant sword to slash clean through 10 ton robots. Screaming vocals over distorted, guttural electric
...
guitar riffs. That is the soul of SKL. The Devil May Cry of mecha.
If this sounds interesting to you in any way at all, I highly recommend this heavy metal rendition of the classic Go Nagai Mazinkaiser. The two main characters exist just to show you how cool and emo they are. My only advice while watching this show - DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE STORY AT ALL. You can try deciphering the schizophrenic writing of this show but you'll be very unlikely to pull anything of substance out of it. Just enjoy the show for the spectacle of sick, badass fight scenes.
