Great Mazinger
Created by Go Nagai
On Fuji TV
A high-energy 1970s super-robot action series built on weekly battles against an alien empire, sustained by a young pilot's growth and the reliable formula of mecha combat.
After Koji Kabuto and Sayaka Yumi leave to the USA, it's up to the rash orphan Tetsuya Tsurugi to pilot the next Mazinger robot: the Great Mazinger. Under the direction of Dr. Kenzo Kabuto and helped by his adoptive sister Jun Honou, Tetsuya battles the Miccene Empire.
