Raikoh Reviews - Mazinkaiser SKL

*Disclaimer*
Due to the nature of Mazinkaiser SKL, it only is appropriate that the following review contain gratuitous cursing. I apologize if you are offended by this.

What do you do with less than an hour and a half of runtime in a mecha series? World building? Character development? Technobabble? FUCKING. PLEASE. If you're making an entirely self-contained mecha movie, the most important part is the robots, isn't it? Seriously, just ask yourself: how many good mecha movies are there that aren't connected to an existing story? Mazinkaiser SKL knows exactly what it wants to do, and that's something that I give it props for. Can you handle it?

Raikoh's Reviews: Shinkon Gattai Godannar!

Oh, boy, Godannar. The fastest way to sum this up is with two words: "Robots" and "Boobs." But if you can manage to get the stigma against fanservice that most anime fans seem to have and give it a shot, you'll actually find a pretty solid romance show shoved under the D-cups (well, that is assuming any of the women in Godannar wear bras). The fact that the title literally translates to "Marriage of God & Soul Godannar" definitely implies there's more to this show than just testosterone poisoning. Well, let's not waste any time, let's get to checking out what makes Godannar tick.
