A comparison of the openings of the classic 1972-74 giant robot series and its American "Adaptation." Eponymous Japanese theme performed by Mizuki Ichirou, American "theme" apparently performed by some guy with a cheap Casio...
GMA Network Never aired Mazinger Z Anime With Voltes V And Daimos Aired on That Network.and now that Shin Mazinger Z Is Currently Aired,we can`t wait for the original version To COme Back!
I'm a bit biased I prefer the American version because I grew up watching that version. But, that's not to say the Japanese version isn't good...it actually is pretty catchy.
I have to say, I mainly like anime in its original Japanese Language than dub. But Tranzor Z is one of those dubs done well and love the theme song compared to the Japanese one
If it wasn't for TranZor Z, I would have never found anime in the first place. He led me to Voltron, to Battle of the Planets, to Robotech, all the US import cartoons... and as I got older, I realized, HEY! If you look hard enough, you can actually find the REAL ones of these, plus ones you've never seen before.

True that. Both the original and the dub have always had a special place in my heart.

Akira Kushida seems to be the "Go-To" singer for the Toei Robot shows. He recently did "Godannar" (ADV films). The voice of Heroes!

All praise the Great Mazinger.
