God Mazinger(goddo majinga- ゴッドマジンガー) is a short-lived anime series by manga artist Go Nagai, loosely based on his Mazinger Z giant-robot anime. It aired on Japanese TV in 1983 and lasted for 23 episodes.
[edit] Description
The plot is about Japanese teen Yamato Hibino, who is sucked through a time warp into the past, where the dinosaur army of the Dragonia Empire threatens the world, and Queen Aira of Mu needs Yamato to help her fight back with the aid of the stone-made guardian God Mazinger, that looks suspiciously like a giant robot. Their opponent is the evil Emperor Dorado and his son Prince Eldo, whose vendetta against Yamato was just starting before the show was canceled.
The series is considered as part of the Mazinger saga, if not only for the name of the title and that of his creator. In fact, a Japanese book called Mazinger Bible, released in 2002 for the 30th anniversary of the first Mazinger series, includes the God Mazinger, along with other Go Nagai's manga books that have not been made into anime, such as the adult-oriented Mazin Saga, Z Mazinger, and First Comics' Mazinger comic book released exclusively for the U.S. market in 1988.
