Since my last post on Mazinger’s recent merchandise, my mind is refreshen how I missed watching my Mazinger DVD series as of late.  Been away on a holiday for too long can certainly makes your heart grow fonder for the things you love to do at home.  And I’m not just talking about being surrounded by your loved ones here and getting all soppy about it!

Whilst I’d been thinking about resuming to watched the rest of its TV series, I found this interesting blog post from AltJapan.  It’s an ordinary sketch of the Mazinger Z that’s going to be ‘flanked’ by two enemy robots (or mechanical beast, in a more corrective context).  They appeared on the fifth episode where Kouji Kabuto had a difficult dilemma fending both of them at the same time when they tried to attack the laboratory.

The post mentioned an interesting book that showed all the places where all the famous robot series we used to know in the 70s, 80s and 90s.  If you look up his map link, you’ll recognise all the robot series such as Getter Robo, Zambot III, Combattler V, UFO Robo Grendizer, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Daitan III etc.

This is a great book for any mecha fans who want it. And I’m keen for it! Love to grab this as part of my collection. However, I understand it’s out of print. The last publication it went for was back in 1998! Goodness! Now I’ll be having a hard time finding it. Guess I should start looking up in Ebay or Amazon if they have any left….
