Mecha Mote Iinchou" reminds me of "Kirarin Revolution"( the second season made also in 3D) somehow. But I kinda liked it, just a feeling. “Gokujou!!

I suppose there's a chance though that it'll get cut short if the sales aren't good. Otherwise it should have a new ep each month, or thereabouts. Oh, and the lead character is supposed to be half-brother of <b>Tenchi</b>, who as you may know turned out to be a rather special being in his universe (from which this guy was summoned), so it's not that surprising that he can kick some ass. At the very least he'd have <b>Juraian</b> blood and quite a bit of martial arts/swords training. I'm guessing from your reaction (haven't seen to ep yet) that this background hasn't been introduced (yet?), but it's pretty well known among Tenchi fans at least. As for his popularity with girls, well, <b>Masaki Kajishima</b>'s universe postulates anomalous people, some of whom have great pull like that. :) (I know what you mean, though.) @psgels

Mazinger's episode made little sense, but it was very entertaining. At the very least, as a first ep it was different from most mecha series' beginnings.

I dunno about the rest of you but if you've played the super robot wars games you would probably be interested in these old robo cartoons to get some background on the mechs and such.

They could either be showing us key scenes from the end of the series or just be throwing us some "what ifs" at us, possibly like the beginning of the 1st episode of Gurren Lagann, except this time they spent an entire episode on it. An interesting not, while I was watching the live stream, there was an ad that showed a young boy in the 1970s, then it flash forwards to 2009 and him being a grown man looking at a Mazinger Z model, it made me think this episode might have been made to cater to those fans, to remind them of what old school Mazinger was like: full of all the awesome action then begin the series for real next week. As this episode had very little content of what the trailers have been showing us.

They're just some quick indications of the likelyhood that I'm going to end up blogging them. With series of about 10%, it's very unlikely that I do end up blogging them, but if there are no better series out there (since I have no idea what the rest of the season looks like and I have 12 slots open for series to blog), I'm going to have to settle with those. 20% also means a small chance, but please don't think that it's going to be a 100% exact thing or something. My biggest issue here is that especially in the beginning of the season, I have no idea how many good shows are going to air in the end. Camario: seen the OVA of Giant Robo and the first few episodes of the TV-series. Good stuff. Windspirit: I wouldn’t take those chances that seriously if I were you.

Seems way too random to me : 10% and 20% equally mean "if the rest of the season is really bad", but to me, this would be 50% since there aren't any other choices than "the rest of the season is bad" and "the rest of the season is good". Or is it that this new Mazinger had more chances of being blogged than other shows with 10% of blogging chance, if the rest of the season is bad ? I don't get it, sorry...

I suppose there will be some monsters of the week, that's typical to the Super Robot genre, but this first episode looks like a flash forward, so to speak, which means the details making that situation possible should gradually build up as well. Unless they run into production problems, this should be pretty good. Btw, have you seen Giant Robo?
