MAZINKAISER vs THE GREAT GENERAL OF DARKNESS is a 60 minute OVA alternate retelling of the 1974 film “Mazinger Z vs the Great General of Darkness”. This version focuses instead of Koji and the Mazinkaiser, with loose links to the Mazinkaiser OVA series continuity as well as the manga, and was created after the success of the Mazinkaiser OVA series. Mazinger Z is an incredibly influential franchise from the prolific mangaka, Go Nagai. It essentially started the “super robot”/”mecha” genre and the concept of a pilot within the robot, and was a huge hit internationally, going on to influence Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim”.
About Mazinkaiser vs The Great General of Darkness (via ANN)
A race of subterranean beasts called the “Mycenae” appear out of nowhere and indiscriminately wreak havoc all over the world. Their goal: the death of Mazinkaiser pilot Koji Kabuto. As these monstrous beings destroy cities and decimate the Mazinger Army, Koji must race against time to once again pilot Mazinkaiser and defeat the Mycenae and their feared leader The Great General of Darkness.
