Today, I would first like to congratulate all the new year, hoping that 2011 is kind to you and always behave a bit better than this one behind us. On this occasion, to start the year, I devote a post to a character that had an outstanding bill in this regard, as was possibly the first series of cartoons that I "hooked" so sick at the early age of six years (although I must admit that the main cause of this post has been the acquisition yesterday of two shirts "geeks" dedicated to the character: DDD).
"Mazinger Z" issued in Spain between 1978 and 1979, and undoubtedly the first manga-animated features oséase, giant robots, fighting, etc ... No story, of course, the goofy "Heidi" and "Marco" (yuck) - we met in these latitudes. We saw a total of 32 episodes, although the original series consisted of sixty episodes, not in order, but followed a completely arbitrary system for broadcast. Interestingly, it began broadcasting on March 4, 1978 (exactly my sixth birthday! : D) until the eve of Kings the following year. At home there was still color television (it came with the World 82) and myself enjoyed the past series in black and white. However, thanks to albums hardcover comic book adventures reproduced given on TV and sticker albums, had a detailed and colorful than what it was perceived that fantastic robot that left me hallucinating every Saturday afternoon.
Undoubtedly, besides
Mazinger and his minions (who are not of my generation remember the fabulous "Aphrodite A" and her boobs out!: DD), the villains Series marked sensation, especially the Baron Ashler, half man and half woman. Faced with such an incredible dichotomy, a small I could not help but wonder "what" had such "down there", because to do (all) the needs to the middle of "everything" would have been extremely uncomfortable, right? (For pleasure, I doubt it) ... Disquisitions of kid that, why deny it, have formed the inevitable "geek" in me. was exciting to be every Saturday afternoon in front of the old television set to attend the event in question and find out against what mechanical beast (as they were called) led by the cruel Doctor Infierno and directed onto the defenseless city in the world (especially Japanese) would meet on that occasion he was flying robot Koji Kabuto, but certainly the defining moment of all was when Mazinger chapter stunning swimming out to the emphatic and loud voice Koji, who, from the remembered glider was preparing to land at the head of the giant robot to be at the controls of the same ... It is a scene that to me, even today, it makes me
s hair stand on end, especially when I hear the resounding voice resounds in the dub Koji original in English, then the characteristic hum of the platform that rises with an inanimate Mazinger, once removed the waters of this fantastic swimming pool located in the Research Institute Fotoatómicas ... Nothing less!. The opening original English, with this "intro" and the later song is memorable for my fifth, and how could it be otherwise, here it is: Thing this curious intro : since I always thought the song said "Mazinger is strong and unworthy, it is a fury ...", so that over the years this" outrage "caused me to colleagues geeks more of a joke ... It is true that seems to say more clearly "Mazinger is strong and my tail is a rage ", but not, feverish minds!, but" Mazinger is strong and very brave "... Make no mistake!
With the advent of home video, my encounter with the character came with the film here called "Super-mazinger Z" (which was nothing but the fusion of the OVA's "Great Mazinger against General Black" and "Great Mazinger against Devilman"). Before his return to the video store I do not know how many times I see it, but it sure was more than seven ... A highlight of one of these two films is the almost complete destruction of the old Mazinger, which facilitates the emergence of its successor,
This film, in its first edition, also has fond memories for me ... But I continue staying with the original Mazinger (the truth is that I found it funny that destroyed here). Friends
very thirties (like me) and forties ... To you is dedicated this entry. I trust that smile I've done on this first day of the year. Mazinger
forever!!
forever!!
