So you liked Akane Maniax OVAs as well?
I hope you give Shin Mazinger a real chance, because I think it deserves it. I mean, you really like Giant Robo, and Shin Mazinger is by the same director. Also, didn't Giant Robo's beginning was kind of crazy and random too for the first 20 minutes or so?
I agree Shin Mazinger's first episode does a very bad job at trying to sell itself at new fans, but a lot of old fans really loved that the first episode, because they got to see a lot of characters coming back. It's the first remake of Mazinger Z after more than 35 years.
I think it's called an in media res, where the story puts you right in the middle of something, and you watch the show to see what led to the events in the first episode. Also remember that it's Imagawa who's the director, and he's a bit crazy when he does things. You should see G Gundam and Giant Robo, the other animes he directed. To this day, Giant Robo is considered a masterpiece by many and it is kinda unconventional as well by starting in the middle of the story.
