Mazinkaiser SKL

Mazinkaizer SKL is about endless gore and bloodshed...Which is fine by me!Although the show lacks in terms of proper storyline and character development due to its limited number of episodes,it still manages to fulfill its purpose,which is,roughly 1,5 hour of pure graphic violence. Story : 6 While the story doesn't satisfy the ones looking for details,it still somehow serves its purpose,which is the prevalence of chaos and the commencing of a long and bloody battle. Art : 7 Art development is very good,however,the scenery where the series takes place (a deserted area) is uniform,thus giving the viewer more and more of the same rocky environment. Sound : 8 Japanese Metal music...awesome!I'mnot a fan of metal music myself,but I really enjoyed the musical piece of Mazinkaiser SKL,which suited the anime's tone just fine. Character : 7 OK,the main characters are two sons of mothers and a brave but shy girl,which serves the anime right.The hellish attitudes of the two guys is what gets them in battles-to-death all the time,which helps the series progress and is most enjoyable to watch. Enjoyment : 7 Mazinkaiser SKL is the anime one might look for in order to storm away.Full of mindless violence for its most part,the show is bound to help you cool off If you're nervous,or make you feel really energetic after finishing watching it. Overall : 7 It's a nice anime to kill your time.It will definitely won't bore you,and I'm sure all hardcore people out there will have a good time watching it.However,If you're the kind of viewer that looks for substantial plot and a reasonable order of events,please look elsewhere.

This reminds me of the super macho anime of the 90s updated for millennial sensibilities. Modernized so that female characters are kick ass and not worthless, the animation suits modern standards and there's no random rape scenes. However the male leads still talk Eastwood tough, there's amazing violence, there's woman in tiny robes, swearing, tons of swords and guns and skull faced robot action. Plus the music is amazing metal and demands very loud playback. This anime won't change your life, but hot damn it all to hell if it's not a barrel of fun! Bonus points for the army general in episode three whosedesign is pure classic Go Nagai cartoon look, despite the fact that no one else I the series looks like a 70s cartoon character.

Mazinkaiser SKL is a simple, stupid, pointless story. "Plot" in SKL is merely a means to an end, a vessel with which the soul of this show can be delivered. Random anime powers and technology with almost enough explanation to make sense. That's not what is important in this show, however. Neither is the setting or lore. What's important is being BADASS. Spinning around with akimbo pistols slaughtering countless waves of worthless enemies. Rising out of the crust of the earth with fire erupting around the 50ft Mazinkaiser Skull. Using a giant sword to slash clean through 10 ton robots. Screaming vocals over distorted, guttural electricguitar riffs. That is the soul of SKL. The Devil May Cry of mecha. If this sounds interesting to you in any way at all, I highly recommend this heavy metal rendition of the classic Go Nagai Mazinkaiser. The two main characters exist just to show you how cool and emo they are. My only advice while watching this show - DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE STORY AT ALL. You can try deciphering the schizophrenic writing of this show but you'll be very unlikely to pull anything of substance out of it. Just enjoy the show for the spectacle of sick, badass fight scenes. 9/10

A very awesome anime! It's very straightforward and has a simple story. But is well written. It's very metal. Always good. A fun film. It's very manly and straight to the point. The male leads are awesome and extremely badass. The girls awesome.If they made a anime series after this, starring those leads, I'd watch it! Awesome robot! Kaiser is pure awesome! Wingle is also awesome. The robot designs are all good. Good female robot designs. It's so metal, the island is like a mix of all things metal. With a toga clad lady group, road warrior group and a samurai warrior group. And they are all equally strong and capable. Despite being very metal, it is'nt sexist. The females and males are all equal, when it comes to the leads and mains. Every single main or important character is a hardcore badass of the highest order. The swear filled speech by the ultratough Captain Scarlett is hilarious. They are all badass, but they are written properly. They are convincing. The male leads are crazy, badass, and dark. But they are also well rounded and have enough very small amount of weakness, to make them work, but not enough to make them emo. They ar'nt so crazy they don't follow orders and will do as ordered. The girl has a good mix of toughness, and intelligence. She can fight, and is'nt weak in any way. The others don't need as much characterisation, but they have enough to make them convince. The characters get things done, in a straightforward way, and they are all proffessional or good at their jobs. If it comes to doing something, they do it. No messing about. The stories a bit light on details, but it get's the point across. It hints at things, but does'nt explain fully, sometimes. Take it on face value, this is a giant robot that looks like a demon, robot armies, exploding island. And it's fine. The end makes Kaiser even more metal. The music is japanese metal. Awesome. Awesome themetune. The art is good. It is a good film for chilled and lighthearted watching. You should definately watch this.
