And here’s another confirmed facts that people in other part of the world are dead keen for Mazinkaizer SKL OVA series as well.
Here’s the translated text (in English)
A new Mazinkaiser is coming! Reinterpretations of the classics by Go Nagai. It’s greatly anticipated to be a great show. The latest incarnation of the most powerful of the robots Mazinkaiser SKL. A contraction came as the word ‘SKL’ probably means “skull”. Note the skull instead of death Pilder emblem on the chest of the giant steel. In short, a disreputable kind without the huge shark teeth sword to put on the back.
The new OVA series was announced with a scoop of Hobby Japan Magazine # 6, on sale this month. No details on the project has yet revealed, but an official site is configured to receive future press releases and extras. The author Go Nagai’s Dynamic Planning and also reveal the next serializing a novel based on the new series, to be published in the magazine Dengeki Hobby ASCII Media Works, and a new manga will be offered on the official website of the magazine Comic Gekkin Shu 2 subsidiary of Bandai Visual Emotion.
Well the SKL part makes somewhat sense. Just wandering if somebody else in the Mazinkaizer community could disprove that?
Okay…. There’s been a crazy amount of rumours spreading around online for the past few days that a new Mazinkaizer, super almighty demi-god (Oops! Sorry I mean GOD) persona of Mazinger Z is returning to the TV. As new set of OVA series. I was checking to be sure my hard-wired eyes and ears weren’t playing tricks on me….
Till I arrived at a couple of links. Here and there.
It’s title debut comes as Mazinkaizer SKL, judging by the glossy poster above. Goodness, it’s been almost 10 years since Mazinkaizer made its spectacular debut.
I also happened to stumble upon this fan’s video on Youtube, foretelling about Mazinkaizer SKL going to be released this year.
At the time of writing, I found out from a reliable source of information on FB, that rumour has it that we have two new different hero characters in this show (as depicted in this video). It turns out Kouji Kabuto is no longer our main protagonist of the new series??!
THIS CANNOT BE!!
It’d better only a rumor, not a FACT!! I could not imagine myself if we ever lose Kouji Kabuto to some new kids on the block, whom we know very little of. Some even said that Kouji is no longer piloting Mazinkaizer anymore?!? No!!!!!!!!!
I don’t want to believe it! IT MUST BE ABSURD!!! >o<
Within less than 3 weeks to go before its official release date, I ran into this Chinese post a while back. It’s about how they expressed their view of bringing the good ole’ classics back into the TV sets. Back to where it all began!
Here’s excerpt of the chinese article of what the article said.
From leading film production company, Cinematoday news, comes a television broadcast of classic mecha series lasted “Armored Cavalry Votoms” (1983 – 1984), which is recently released. Its works are done and overlooked by Takahashi Ryosuke, Igarashi Purple Zhang, heavy Tiandun Division, Otsuka Tian Ting-style animation and other key staff fully played. Serving as the main animation direcotyr Mr. Tsukada, who’s also the co-producer for “Armored Cavalry Votoms Case: IRVINE“, “Votoms Viewfinder” and “Armored Cavalry Votoms“. These three works will still be based on the original animated view of its original animation works, in the past based on the story that are not part of Jiemi further decryption. However, it will be part of the series series of that represents a whole new dimension of depth that they’ve never done before, and the audience will find this very engaging and are eagerly looking forward to the show. The crowd get a sense that the old Votoms production team with its superb production technology and performance techniques are proven to be a promise for audience to appreciate all the elements of human emotions that are moving and uplifting (which they originally wanted to do in the first place).
