There's a new Mazinger Z in town: Updated with more Pics

There's a new re-imagining of Mazinger Z and with the blessings from Go Nagai, the original series Author, he looks ready to kick butt.

This version of Mazinger Z is being distributed by Good Smile Company and was created by threezero, a sister company of threeA to which if you haven't seen either of the stuff these guys create you should click those two little links.  The new Mazinger Z was given a more Frankenstein-ish look, with a painted rustic tone that gives you the feeling like he's gone thru hell and lived to tell the tale.  The figure stands at 16" tall and is fully articulated down to the fingers.

My initial feelings of the revision are that he looks kinda clunky but in a cool way.  I prefer the older original Mazinger Z as the inner kid in me just loves his sleek and mechanical look.  This one on the other hand will probably eventually win me over especially with his cool slicer blades that actually close.

I can't unfortunately give a full review of the product as it's a bit on the pricy side, about $300.  So if there are any nice people out there who would like to donate a little bit of money or just full out buy me this lovely piece I'd love to do a full review of him.  Until then, I'll be saving 1 penny every day which by my calculations will take about 82 years, without calculating inflation, before I can purchase this cool figure.

Back at ya buddy!

Anime: Where is the next Berserk movie??

GATSUUU!!!   WHERE ARE YOU???

I know all fans of the Berserk manga/anime/movie are all eagerly awaiting the next arrival of the revised movie series but when will that be?  1 year, 2 years?  Who knows?

Fans of the Anime series all know about the suspense they kept us in when the anime ended with a huge surprise (NSFW SPOLIER!!!) then just up and stopped making any more anime of the series.  Then after watching the newly revamped Golden Age Arc trilogy it ended almost the same way as the anime, keeping us in suspense yet again.  These guys just love building up the anticipation but come on, don't keep us waiting any longer.

If you can't wait, like me, you'll have to take to a book and follow the story there.  If you don't want to go back, which you should read all the manga series as it's definitely worth the read, you can start on Volume 15 which will take you to right after where both the anime and movies end off.

Will Guts ever get his revenge?  Will Caska ever be normal again?  Will the world ever go back to normal?  Will guts get an even bigger sword!!!????  This guy hopes he will. - Kevshiro
