This is a funny show, but bear in mind that the humor is pretty simple and it might feel too short and tiresome at times. After all, this is a show for children, so don't expect a deep plot. This is a parody of
Mazinger Z . It has very nice visuals. I find it quite enjoyable, but it might not be for everyone because of the type of humor.
