So I just finished watching Grendizer, and I have to ask: why do arabs like Grendizer at all? The manga wasn't special, interesting or notable in any way, shape or form, the Toei anime is just as bad. Is it just one of those series that people on /m/ like to try and appear learned on mecha, because there are tons of other series that do everything Grendizer does and more far better. I'm legitimately asking this by the way, so don't try and dismiss me as a boogeyman or something.
Duke Fleed was a rebel fighting against the evil invaders. It was easy to pretend Earth = Middle East and Vegans = US/UK

that Christmas episode was a trip
Because it aired in arab countries at a popular timeslot
Much like Mazinger in Mexico or Gundam Wing in America
>>13804764
Wasn't it the first Mazinger related series to pop up in there?
Same with France
>>13804791
and groizer x in brazil
>>13804791
>>13804830
this. It was pretty much several generations' first giant robot thing. I used to read those comics as a kid and I'm pretty sure I had the one in OP's picture.
>>13804791
>Gundam Wing
No one has nostalgia for that in the same way that Arabs do for Grendizer. Voltron would be a better comparison.

>why do arabs like Grendizer at all?
It was on early friday morning when I had no school, but I loved gundam more since me and my dad would stay up super late to watch it

shit was cash son

>Kouji disguised as Santa Claus
Why Kouji was so based on Grendizer? He was just a jerk on Toeizinger
>>13804783
Toiezinger had a Santa based mechanical beast too.
>>13806730
He got older and calmed the heck down?
>>13807045
He was finally able to get laid while in America so he stopped hating women
>>13807064
He wasn't the main character of a Toei show in the 70s anymore so he wasn't contractually obligated to be a huge cunt
>>13807081
So instead he's just obligated to be vaguely homoerotic?
>>13807137
Yes
>>13807064
Sayaka would get pissed about being cheated on with other chicks (especially Maria).
>>13807148
Is this why Mazinger Z and Grendizer have nothing to do with each other anymore?
>>13807137
>>13807197
Have Mazinger Z and Grendizer even met?
>>13804764
>So I just finished watching Evangelion, and I have to ask: why do people like Grendizer at all? The manga wasn't special, interesting or notable in any way, shape or form, the Gainax anime is just as bad. Is it just one of those series that people on /m/ like to try and appear learned on mecha, because there are tons of other series that do everything Evangelion does and more far better. I'm legitimately asking this by the way, so don't try and dismiss me as a boogeyman or something.

What are you talking about? That's the best part
>>13807205
Only in SRW. Closest to that was the crossover movies, although I don't think Maria showed up yet by the time those events occurred.
>>13807225
Ya blew it
>>13807394
I remember it happening at some point in the manga as well, though I can't find the chapter I'm thinking of
>>13807534
Oh yeah, that's right, the Gosaku Ota one. HnG and Happy Scans are steadily doing that one.
>>13807225
Needs an edit of Shinji as Kouji, Asuka as Maria, Rei as Hikaru and Kaworu as Duke
>>13807148
>>13807197
Nagai wanted Sayaka to join the Grendizer cast but Shingo Araki insisted with introducing a new character so Maria was born
>>13808147
Maria is the worst
>>13804791
This.
>>13807139
>Dat high quality
Seriously where? Every link i found is shitty
>>13807205
SRW, Grendizer manga, Ota manga (I think) and Gren shows up but doesnt meet in Shin Zero
>>13809922
Ah, I see then. Sucks that it never happened in the anime.
