It’s been a few months since the new Mazinkaizer SKL OVA series was announced.  And many Mazinger or old school mecha fans were surely eager to hear more of this.

And sure enough, we do. :)

Here’s its Youtube promo video of the series, by Nagai’s Dynamic Planning.

Certainly looks pretty solid from its initial impressions.

Here’s further info from the posted promo link of ComicsBlog.

In the near future on an island in the eastern sea gather all those who want to fight at all costs. Suddenly appears a dark giant, armed with sword and pistols, which stands out among all. Some people called and who called Majin Kaiser …

‘S online on the official website of the spectacular trailer for the second series Mazinkaiser SKL, and thanks to friends of the fortress Mikeros we give a brief account of the conference held at Anime Fes. “Vs” by Go Nagai and some leaders of the staff on the new production.

The event was organized by Bandai Visual, the father of Grendizer showed his original concept of Mazinkaiser SKL and explained how the idea for the new OVA was born during gestation and the airing of the recent Shin Mazinger shougeki! Z-hen with the intention of creating the most violent Mazinger ever. The project was inspired by the anime series Super Robot Wars video game, using the actors completely unprecedented: that of the new Mazinkaiser is an alternative history with no connection to the original saga Mazin, Nagai states but, as already seen in previous trailers, character traits or end up inspired by other series of the author, among them, apparently, Cutie Honey Flash.

Actas produced by the OVA series to come out next winter (almost simultaneously with the action figure Bandai) is organized by Tadashi Hayakawa (Kotetsushin Jeeg), directed by Jun Kawagoe (New Getter Robot – The Last Day eps 4 and 5, New Getter Robo, Kotetsushin Jeeg), featuring Takeshi Ito (EX-Driver the Movie, Cybuster, Kaze no Yojimbo) with the mechanical design of joint Hiroshi Ogawa (Great Dangaio) and Munetaka Abe (animator in Kotetsushin Jeeg, Transformers: Armada, Mobile Suit Gundam 00). Lantis (Noein, Mazinkaiser, Mazinger Shin shougeki! Z-hen) then produces the music.

Besides anime within the multimedia project Nagai’s Dynamic Planning and also the serialization of the manga Mazinkaiser SKL Versus Mobile, already in progress on the official website of the magazine Comic Shu 2 Gekkin of Emotion (a subsidiary of Bandai Visual), and a novel, even already this year, the magazine Dengeki Hobby ASCII Media Works.

Hey everyone,

It’s been insanely ages since I’ve done any updates  to Generation Mech blog, other than highly-rumored Gaiking movie that’s due to come out in 2012.   Been spending weeks on trying to apply for my work visa and new passport from my native home country of Malaysia… And boy! They sure don’t get any easier at all!  Certainly taking up a huge proportion of my time.

And now that my contract work just completed last week, I now have a plenty of time to catch up what’s been missing for the past 2-3 weeks in the world of Generation Mech blog.

Back to this!

Now I heard that Gundam Unicorn OVA series is now out on sale online back in mid March.  But it’s sold only exclusive via Amazon!  It’s selling for a retail price of USD $40.00.  I’d say it’s not a bad price for Volume 1.  (Each volume is one episode.  The OVA series said to have about 6 episodes).

Would love to pay for it.  But just not sure about the crazy shipping fee Amazon proposes.  (which works out something like $30 – $40 and it takes around 2-3 weeks before it arrives at non-American soils.)

So if you’re keen to get this copy while it’s still out with them, check out the link with them.

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).
