Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. johnkatsmc5 – ★★★★
   “This is where the mecha genre really kicked into high gear. Mazinger Z is a product of its time, but its influence is still felt in anime today. The design, the theme song, the villains—this show is iconic.”

2. elconquistador – ★★★½
   “It can be repetitive, but that’s part of the charm. Every episode gives us a new Mechanical Beast and a new way for Koji to yell MAZIN GO!”

3. tofuwarrior – ★★★★
   “As a kid, I watched this in reruns and didn’t realize how old it was. Rewatching now, it’s amazing how dark and serious some episodes are despite the goofy designs.”

4. chogokinmaster – ★★★★★
   “Mazinger Z was my gateway to Japanese robots. There’s something pure about its storytelling, even if it’s formulaic. Sayaka is underrated!”

5. mechapaladin – ★★★
   “Solid classic, though not as refined as later mecha anime. Still, the history and nostalgia make it worth revisiting.”

Meta Description:
