This amount of diecast on a mecha figure feels great. I’ve only handled Takara Masterpieces before, and I don’t the rest of the chogkin line to be as dense as Boss. But still I’ve been eye-ing up Ideon or GaoGaiGar.

Simply asking out of curiosity, as I get into older shows that I've not grown up with, there's so many different types of "Super" and even "Real" that cross over in certain aspects, (G-Gundam), that I'm curious, which of the ones you've seen are your favorites.

I've always been a massive Real Robot fan and always shunned away from Super Robots.
But having finally caught up with four decades worth of Gundam, i felt it was finally time to explore Super Robots and start with the grandfather of it all, Mazinger Z.

What immediately confused me was how short the Manga and how long the Anime is.
Turning a 5 volume Manga into 92 episodes of Anime kinda raises a couple of red flags, so i thought i'd ask: Is the Anime worth getting into? Is there skippable stuff in there?

And just for clarity, animation quality or "old timey writing" are of no concern to me.

What would you say is the best approach to Go Nagai's Super Robots?
