Thanks to MannyD of Robotjapan for posting this pic, it appears to be a new Mazinger design. MannyD doesn't know if this is an official design or a fanart, I think you judge if its official or not, check out the pic.

The design is a little too bulky for my taste. Reminds me of a Gundam though.

According to Getter Team of RobotJapan: "Toshiki Hirano wanted in the 80s to create an anime about Dai Mazinger but as Toei didn't want it (because they have Mazinger's copyrights), he turned his Dai Mazinger into the Dangaio as we know it today. That's the story my friend. " Hmm.. I recall how Dangaioh 1 ended, in a surprise twist, Dangaioh blew up and the bad guys won. The heroes never even had the chance to face the main enemy generals. The sequel "Great Dangaioh" series horribly crashed and burned(from really good animation in the first few eps, it struggled through the last few episodes with REALLY, REALLY bad animation.. it became like watching South Park styled animation! The production values were a joke!), I'm kinda glad this proposed "Mazinger" series did get cancelled back in the 1980's(Dangaioh came out 1987). more about Dangaioh here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DangaiohGold

thanks for the info, gold.
the design looks like a cross between mazinga and dancouga. a bit bulky, but looks like he can kick some serious robot behinds.

So Mazinkaiser gets blown up too? I like Mazinkaiser more. This guy looks like a Mazinger Z version of the Incredible Hulk.

They just proposed a new Mazinger Anime in the 1980's, the idea got shot down due to copyright issues with Toei and they just cranked out the Dangaioh series instead. Gold

Gold Psst gold...can you explain the difference between Mazinger, Dai Mazinger and Dangioh? I really have no idea...well I have an idea but I think its wrong

Its mazinger Z in gundam style. It look cool though. The art is good. Just wondering , is this just an artwork or are they making something out of it like an anime or a toy, anything?
