Hell decides to use the robots to control the world, while Dr. Kabuto escapes and builds Mazinger Z before being killed by “half Man, Half woman” Baron Ashura.  Robot is passed on his grandson Kouji Kabuto, who fights against Doctor Hell. Spin Offs Great Mazinger (1974) UFO Robot Grendizer (1977) Mazinkaiser (2002) Getter Robo (1974) Three jets become one Super Robo, but can reconfigure in to three different modes Daikū Maryū Gaiking (1976) Dinosaur like base ship where the head takes off and transforms in to Super Robo Gaiking   Super/Giant Robot Series Robots are unique, one of kind, un-replaceable Fantastical/Squishy in tech/creation Heroic in Nature Stories are usually involve the Robots more as a major element of the show than a tool Magical/Mystical/Extraterrestrial/Super Science in Nature Lend themselves to Monster of the Week / non-serialized Became stagnant toward end of 80s   Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) Also known as (Gundam 0079) During the Universal Century, Human have created colonies in space, but there is unease as spacenoids feel that the Earth Federation won’t allow equal representation, thus Spacenoid rally around the Principality of Zeon and declare their freedom from Earth Federation, starting the “One Year War”. Zeon has mobile suits, which are a ‘HUGE’ tactical advantage. Earth Federation Create the White Base and goes to pick up the new RX-78 Gundam, but Zeon is in tow and attacks the colony, killing most civilians and Federation crew.  Amuro Ray becomes pilot for Gundam and the White Base launches out to defend against Zeon on their way home to Earth. Gundam = White Devil V-fin helmet Samurai look/motif Recurring themes Start in space, head to Earth, return to space to end Space Mobile Suits = 1 eye/ mono eye Earth/Federation Mobile Suits = glass visor for eyes Major Base to launch From, usually white in color Char Aznable – Villain, recurring theme of villain in Mask Initially not popular, canceled at 39 of 45 episodes.  Rebroadcast as trilogy of movies in 1983 Gunpla = Gundam Model Kits Spin offs: Universal Century                                            Zeta (1985)                                                         ZZ (1986)                                                              0083(1991) Victory (1993)                                                    08 MS Team (1996)                                          Unicorn (2010)                                                  Thunderbolt (2015)                                        Unique Series/Era/Centuries G Gundam (1994) Gundam Wing (1995) Gundam X (1996) Turn-a-Gundam (1999) Gundam Seed (2002) Gundam 00 (2007) Gundam Age (2011) Gundam IBO (2015)   Real Robot Series Mecha are realist/conventional in nature, albeit with unique power sources/futuristic weapons Tend to be government/organization led Possible to Replace within reason/mass produced Tools of the universe Often stories about War or major conflicts Lend themselves toward long, serialized shows Super Sentai (1975) Known in the west as Power Rangers Basically Live Action Super Robo Series    80s – Rise of Real Robots Real Robot Series become mainstream as audiences begin to get tired of Formulaic Super Robot series.

The Super Dimension Fortress Macross (1982) Many Spin Offs Armored Troopers Votoms (1983) Volton (1984) US TV show incorporating footage of Golion and Dairugger Transformers (1984) Lots of Spin Offs Bubblegum Crisis (1987) Largely Females in Exo-skeleton Suits Patlabor (1988) Mecha Cops Gunbuster (1988) From Makers of Evangelion    90 – Mecha Revolution Real Robot / Gundam make big push in 90s, but lots of mech shows still show competition.  Lots of themes / traditions come out of 90s that are still seen largely today.  Very experimental.  Brave Series (1990s) King of Braves GaoGaiGar (1997)  Tekkaman Blade (1992) In the West as Technoman  Magic Knight Rayearth (1994) Magical Girl / Super Robot Series  Evangelion (1995) Mix of Real/Super Series Largely a deconstruction of Mecha Series Lots of largely psychological topics Genre Defining!  Martian Successor Nadesico (1996)  Vision of Escaflowne (1996) Lots of Female fans Largely Fantasy  The Big O (1999)   2000s – Mecha Renaissance  With introduction Digital Art/Inking, Anime become less expensive to produce, allowing more varied series to become introduced.  Varying art styles allow more trial and expressiveness.  Great Shows, Great stories, great characters Sakura Wars (2000) VanDread (2000) RahXephon (2002) Similar to Eva in themes  Diebuster (2004) Sequel to Gunbuster  Aquarion (2005)  Eureka Seven (2005) Skateboarding/snowboarding in the Sky Mecha  Code Geass (2006) Mechs are only about 15-18 feet tall Largely move around on wheels Fun Mix of Mystical elements and Real Robot series Great cast/show One of the Greatest non-Gundam Real Robot series  Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (2007) From makers of Evangelion Very silly Creators would split to become Studio Trigger One of the Greatest modern Super Robot    2010 – Decline of Mecha Mecha Shows are more difficult to get going, with lots of shows almost never finding an audience.  Landscape of Anime may have changed; seasonal anime dominates, where mecha tends to like longer /epic running series.  Also, many shows about conflicts aren’t as popular because we(Sic:Japan) aren’t really seeing or being influenced by war.  Mecha using more CG(Computer Graphics) to make mecha in shows, but don’t look good in an animated/2D Landscape.  Star Driver (2010) Light Hearted, Fun Super Robot  Aldnoah.Zero (2014) Good first season, ultimately disappointing  Robot Girls Z (2014) Parody on Mazinger Z and various spinoffs  Captain Earth (2014)  Darling in the Franxx (2018) Interesting beginning, ultimately Disappointing   Review Material Gundam Unicorn 0096 (Either on Crunchyroll or Netflix) Star Driver (Crunchyroll)

Marc Morrell and Dan Jolley review 4 more episodes (13-16) from Voltron: Defender of the Universe (Lion Force). Dan keeps us up to date on his career, and Marc talks about the 30th Anniversary Book and panel at New York Comic Con, as well as book signings and interviews. If you recall, we haven't reviewed the Original Series Voltron Episodes since Podcast #22. We finished reviewing Episode 12 during that podcast. So, this podcast episode covers the following Original Series Voltron episodes (Beast King GoLion episode titles in parenthesis): #13 – The Witch Gets a Facelift (Introducing Beautiful Honerva) #14 – Yurak Gets His Pink Slip (The Crown Prince of Hell) #15 – Give Me Your Princess (Overcome the Phantom of Shirogane) #16 – Bridge Over the River Chozzerai (The Legendary Bridge of Love) Listen as Marc brings back Dan Jolley, our special guest from Podcast #7, to discuss the differences between the Voltron and GoLion versions of these 4 episodes. This story arc sees the exit of Commander Yurak and the entrance of Prince Lotor, who takes over as the Commander in Chief of the Drule Forces on Planet Doom. Lotor also has a strong infatuation with Princess Allura that is a continuous theme throughout the rest of the series. Marc also talks about the 30th Anniversary Book, which is being released to stores everywhere on Tuesday, October 28. If you haven't pre-ordered it, you can pick up a copy on Tuesday, wherever books are sold. Online, you can also purchase the Kindle, e-book, Nook, and other digital versions of the book through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and other retail sites. Thanks for listening!

Marc Morrell and Special Guest Host Dan Jolley review 4 more episodes from the Original Lion Force Voltron Series, where they provide comparisons with the GoLion episodes from which these Voltron episodes were made. Dan provides a unique perspective, since he has watched these episodes as a fan when he was a kid, then watched these episodes as an adult writer, and had to research these episodes again as a writer of Voltron Comics for Devil's Due Publishing. If you recall, we haven't reviewed the Original Series Voltron Episodes since Podcast #15. We finished reviewing Episode 8 The Stolen Lion (Stolen Blue Lion) during that podcast. So, this podcast episode covers the following Original Series Voltron episodes (Beast King GoLion episode titles in parenthesis): 9 – A Pretty Spy (Girl of the Land of Evil) 10 – Secret of the White Lion (Curse of the White Lion) 11 - Surrender (Red Rain of Hell) 12 - Bad Birthday Party (Evil Doings of the Emperor) Listen as Marc brings back Dan Jolley, our special guest from Podcast #7, to discuss the differences between the Voltron and GoLion versions of these 4 episodes. This story arc shows that Princess Allura is still unsure of herself in her role on the team. It also shows that Voltron is not always the one who saves the day. Marc closes out the episode with a preview of upcoming episodes, including a surprise episode from San Diego Comic-Con, a Vehicle Voltron episode, and possibly, an interview with one of the voice actors from the original Voltron Series. Thanks for listening!
