Shin Mazinger is an unfinished, but very crazy and enjoyable masterpiece, with good writing and memorable characters and music. It's a very fun and engaging anime full of twists and revelations that will keep you in the edge of your seat the whole way through. Unlike the original anime, which focuses on Mazinger's pilot, Koji Kabuto, and his gang, Shin Mazinger sets itself apart by focusing on the hidden history of the Kabuto family and their ties to the Mycenae Empire and Dr. Hell. It specially focuses on the original anime's now reimagined Baron Ashura and new character Tsubasa. It's a story about the bonds of family, butalso about an ancient empire of Conqueror Gods, but also about the pain of being the last of one's kin.

It's a story full of lies and betrayal, but also about the fight for truth and peace.

Sadly, this reimagined story remains unfinished a decade later, with questions left unanswered and the final conclusion unknown.

Also, Koji and his dynamics with his gang are underdeveloped compared to other iterations of Mazinger, characters like Boss and Sayaka lack the screentime they deserve, but the craziness of the plot and the awesome direction and music make up for it.
