If you liked Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen add

...then you might like Kenzen Robo Daimidaler add

Daimidaler has all the makings of a typical Go Nagai anime adaptation. It shares the same hot blooded main character, Endoh opening and an enthusiastic narrator, and of course, giant robots. To further illustrate my point, even the 3 professors in Daimidaler are a direct reference to the 3 professors in Shin Mazinger, namely Sewashi (Sewashiko in Daimidaler, ko to denote that they're female), Mori Mori (Moriko) and Nossori (Soriko). The action is also very fun to watch. Daimidaler gives a great sense of weight like Mazinger Z. And should I note that the character design for Kouichi resembles Mazinger's Kouji with thick sideburns? While Shin Mazinger doesn't have as many perverted scenes as Daimidaler, the show is exactly like another Go Nagai giant robot adaptation, known as Koutetsushin Jeeg with its overly lecherous MC. If you enjoy Daimidaler for all the reasons I listed above (hot blooded MC, giant robots, great action, music), then you will surely enjoy Shin Mazinger and other Go Nagai anime adaptations.

If you liked Koutetsushin Jeeg add

...then you might like Robot Girls Z add

Since Jeeg appeared in Robot Girls Z, like with my Shin Mazinger and Getter Robo Armageddon recommendations, this is a more modern remake with its own continuity. It's often confused to be a sequel. It's actually not.

Since Getter Robo appeared in Robot Girls Z, like with my Shin Mazinger recommendation, this is a more modern remake with its own continuity.

Like Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo, this is another continuity reboot of Getter Robo. This time it sticks closer to the original manga.

If you liked Shin Getter Robo tai Neo Getter Robo add

...then you might like Robot Girls Z add

Like Getter Robo Armageddon, this is another continuity reboot of the original Getter Robo Go manga.

If you liked Mazinkaiser SKL add

...then you might like Robot Girls Z add

Like Shin Mazinger and Mazinkaiser, this is another continuity reboot with more original material, featuring two new characters.

If you liked Mazinkaiser: Shitou! Ankoku Dai Shougun add

...then you might like Robot Girls Z add

Since Ankoku Daishogun appears in Robot Girls Z, this movie that takes place after the events of Mazinkaiser should help you understand this character, and his army of Mycenae soldiers.

If you liked Mazinkaiser add

...then you might like Robot Girls Z add

Like Shin Mazinger, this is another continuity reboot wihich is closer to the original toei tv animation than the manga.

If you liked Space Adventure Cobra add

...then you might like Space☆Dandy add

If you mix Space Adventure Cobra and Cowboy Bebop together, you get Space Dandy. It has a space setting similar to the one in Cobra and a goof who loves well-endowed women.

If you liked Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen add

...then you might like Robot Girls Z add

Well, if you're unaware already of what Robot Girls Z is parodying, I could always tell you to check out the original Mazinger Z series with 92 episodes, but I'm pretty sure that the lot of you are too spoiled to enjoy older anime. Instead, I can recommend you Shin Mazinger, a 2009 26 episodes anime reboot which is more faithful to the Mazinger mangas in more ways than one. Even if Robot Girls Z consist entirely of cute girls now, a simple fact remains, they're both hot blooded and fun as fuck for the entire family to enjoy!

High quality animation and kickass soundtrack. Both are manly shows for manly men.

If you liked Kidou Senkan Nadesico add

ever wondered where gekiganger comes from? getter robo. and here's the excellent standalone getter robo ova for you to watch.

If you liked Gaiking: Legend of Daiku-Maryu add

...then you might like Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen add

The original Gaiking and Mazinger series were both by Go Nagai and were animated by Toei. Due to Toei not giving credits to Nagai for the original Gaiking series, Dynamic and Toei have since gone into a long dispute. In fact, they fought over a bunch of stuff and the famous Dai Mazinger project that was blocked by Toei really created tension between both camps. I'd like to think that Gaiking is Mazinger's cousin, and both Shin Mazinger and the new Gaiking are excellent shows. They also share hot blooded characters.

If you liked Heroman add

...then you might like Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen add

Both are mech shows by famous authors. Nagai was inspired by western designs. Both Heroman and Shin Mazinger aired around the same time of year, one in 2009 and the other in 2010. They both have a lengthy opening arc and neither of them are episodic in any way.

If you liked Shin Getter Robo add

...then you might like Mazinkaiser SKL add

Both ovas are by Dynamic Pro and they share the same director. If you just want gore + mecha, look no further.

If you liked Change!! Getter Robo: Sekai Saigo no Hi add

...then you might like Mazinkaiser add

Mazinkaiser is Nagai's creation. Getter Robo is Isihikawa's creation. Ishikawa is Nagai's pupil and those two were the brains behind Dynamic Pro's success in the 70s. Both are excellent well animated ovas.

If you liked Mazinkaiser add

...then you might like Shinkon Gattai Godannar!! add

There's a famous pic lying around on 4chan /m/ that makes the connection between godannar and mazinkaizer. also, tatsuya shares the same voice actor with kouji in Mazinkaiser. both also contain hot blooded songs by Ichiro Mizuki and some really good fanservice. I can't help to think that Godannar was very much inspired by nagai's 70s mecha series. i may be wrong, but that's the general gist i get from watching it.

If you liked The Big O add

...then you might like Giant Robo the Animation: Chikyuu ga Seishi Suru Hi add

Both are very good steampunk shows that require at least one viewing. The robots both have a similar kind of design and mass as well.

If you liked Kidou Butouden G Gundam add

...then you might like Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen add

Shares the same director. Domon and Kouji are both hot blooded pilots. Master Asia and Baron Ashura can both take down mechs with their bare hands. If you like G Gundam, then Shin Mazinger is a must watch.

If you liked Giant Robo the Animation: Chikyuu ga Seishi Suru Hi add

...then you might like Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen add

Shares the same director, Imagawa. Both shows contain humans with superpowers, and both have plenty of plot twists. While Giant Robo was imagawa's take yokoyama's works, Shin Mazinger is imagawa's take on nagai's works.

If you liked Giant Robo the Animation: Chikyuu ga Seishi Suru Hi add

...then you might like Heroman add

Remote controlled robots. Also, both Giant Robo OVA and Heroman have excellent animation.

If you liked Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann add

...then you might like Shin Getter Robo add

TTGL's main inspiration was Getter Robo. Like TTGL, it has drills, a lot of gattai, and an energy that is kinda similar to spiral energy known as the getter rays. Reading the manga is recommended as well. Both Kamina and Ryoma are the greatest examples of traditional hot blooded heroes. New Getter Robo is a remake and sticks closer to the manga.
