Mazinger Z 40th Anniversary Manga Big Hit TV Anime Also Achieved 30% Ratings, In Spain It Hit 100% Created a Record, It’s a Huge Hit, I’m Shocked! Mazinger Z is Amazing!! “Mazinger Z” is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. It’s the original robot manga featuring a pilot! Can you believe it? I created such an amazing manga 40 years ago, isn’t that impressive? Thank you for your continued support! Illustration and text by Yasuhiro Nagai.
If you downplay this, I won’t be able to brag about anything.
Show off more.
Rather, I would be troubled if you didn’t brag about it!
Isn’t it amazing?Well…
No, really…
On the other hand, Getter is depicting a completely red, makeshift Getter 1 in the commemorative illustration.
The lack of love is amazing.
Well, it’s mostly about Ken-chan, but…
>>5I put a lot of effort into the Ark’s Blu-ray jacket…
>>5In other words, there are definitely aspects where I’m completely accepting that it’s due to Ken Ishikawa’s achievements…
>>5Mr. Nagai thinks that Getter is Mr. Ishikawa’s work, so he doesn’t get too involved.
100%!?
>>6In some countries, there are hardly any television networks and no interesting programs.
It has become just streaming overseas anime that can be procured cheaply.
In Spain, it’s actually quite common not to have a TV at home, which is another reason why the ratings for entertainment programs are high.
He is a man who ultimately could not become Osamu Tezuka.
If this person isn’t amazing, then there’s really no one else as amazing as Osamu Tezuka…
There are certainly areas where I think they’re even greater than Osamu Tezuka.
I couldn’t become like Dr. Tezuka…
I have become Go Nagai.
It’s the kind of thing that would be more troubling if someone said it’s not amazing…
Is there really not much entertainment in Spain?
A manga artist who can become both a god and a demon.
If that over there is a god, then this over here is a devil.
It’s amazing that it’s not just about Mazinger.
Mr. Tezuka didn’t really like robots that much.
>>20There is a great achievement called Atom, but later generations of robot anime have taken a different direction.
I think I am closer to the devil than to God.
Devilman, Honey, and Mazinger are all outputted.
In 1972 and 1973, Go-chan was pretty crazy.
Grendizer recorded a 100% viewership rating in France.
Isn’t it amazing?
It’s amazing that this legend is still alive.
If a legend like you is saying so…
This person could even claim to be the original heroine who fights.
The only mangaka who had an influence on future generations is the one behind Harisenshuu Gakuen, Devilman, Mazinger Z, and Cutie Honey.
>>28Wow… that’s amazing…
>>28Isn’t the snow woman heroine also a little demon boy?
There is no disagreement that it is amazing.
But the ending of the manga version is a bit…
You can just watch anime.
He was a master of sexy manga for boys and was once brought up as an issue by the PTA.
Isn’t it amazing?
>>30I was named and even had my books burned.
Isn’t it amazing?
>>45The episode is so chaotic it’s amazing.
>>45I was asked for a signature by those people.
Isn’t it amazing?
>>55That is definitely a bit anger-inducing.
>>58But Gou-chan is amazing because he signs it without showing his anger openly.
In Italy, Steel Jeeg became popular and it really resonates well internationally.
The Moon was announced at the same time, right?
Moon is basically in line with the Iron Man trend.
The content is completely that…
When you think about the works derived from Astro Boy, there really isn’t much influence, huh?
In other words, Tezuka’s manga generally feels that way.
Despite being called great, it hasn’t quite created a genre.
>>36Haven’t you ever read a manga?
>>44No matter how you look at it, you are just too ignorant…
>>36I laughed at the complete denial of the reason why Tezuka is called a god.
>>48?
>>36There seem to be countless works featuring robots with human hearts.
It’s amazing how it isn’t offensive at all.
It’s well known that “Grendizer” had a 100% viewership rating in France, but did it also achieve 100% in Spain?
Isn’t it significant in the lineage of life-sized humanoid robot battles?
Casshern, etc.
I think it’s more about elevating the overall expression of manga than just a specific genre with Tezuka-sensei.
I’m amazing, right? → Well, that’s certainly amazing, but…
Mazinger Z is amazing!! → Well, it is amazing, but…
No matter how much it’s overseas, a 100% viewership rating is just amazing and deserves nothing but praise.
It’s not in color, but the cover of the new edition of Getter Saga that was released from last year to this year is drawn by Go-chan.
If it weren’t for Atom and Tetsujin 28-go coming first, Mazinger wouldn’t have been accepted either…
In a world without Mazinger, the history of toy manufacturers would change quite a bit, right…?
It’s great that the moment of getting into the giant robot from the start looks so impressive.
I thought it would be cool like Gundam 00, flying with a motorcycle, but instead, I just landed normally and got winched up to the cockpit; that’s not very impressive.
>>51I can understand, but it was originally not made that way, so there’s nothing that can be done about it!
I think it’s more directly related to the Shidenkai from “Tetsujin” and “Mach GoGoGo” than to Atom or Tetsujin.
A story where the protagonist gets into an amazing mech.
>>54Until Go-chan drew Mazinger, there was only Atom (a robot that moves autonomously with will) or Tetsujin (which moves under the protagonist’s remote control).
The boarding sequence is filled with romance at the point of energy, it’s amazing…
And we also included a Thunderbird-like launch sequence.
In a Marvel Cross interview, I forgot which country it was.
I used to think that Japanese people were like bugs who are only interested in economic activities.
“I was told that I was happy to know that I share the same blood as the person who created the anime.”
I’m not from the generation directly impacted by Osamu Tezuka, so I know it’s amazing that the expressions he created have been the norm since the moment I was born, but if I think about it, it turns out I don’t really know what he was the first to do.
>>62There are too many aspects in terms of genre and manga expression techniques where Osamu Tezuka was the first.
I think there are quite a few people who have been quite impacted by the design of Princess Yukiko.
I’m not sure if it’s even become a trend.
