Japanese anime TV series “Mazinger Z ” swept Taiwan over 30 years ago, and the film version is now being aired on the big screen. The new animated film, “Mazinger Z: Infinity,” opens in Taiwan today. With the reappearance of the classic characters and robots, the movie is sure to rekindle viewers’ fond memories.
The TV version of the animation was broadcast in Taiwan in the 1970s and 1980s. Memorable characters include male lead Koji Kabuto and female lead Sayaka Yumi — translated as Ke Kuo-lung and Yu Sha-sha in Taiwan — and giant robots like Mazinger Z and Aphrodite A. Many viewers grew up listening to the theme song, and it remains firmly lodged in their minds today.
According to the film distributor, the creator of “Mazinger Z ” Japanese cartoonist Go Nagai decided to adapt it into a movie last year to mark the 50th anniversary of the start of his career.

Their charm lies in the paper-thin flour wrapper that needs to be folded evenly almost 20 times. Folding a tangbao requires skill to deal with a bulging filling and a thin wrapper.

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced a seismic change in direction on March 19, hiking interest rates for the first time in 17 years. The move represents an unwinding of an ultra-loose — and maverick -- policy aimed at putting Japan’s “lost decades” of stagnation and deflation behind it. The last time the BoJ raised interest rates was in 2007, but its war against deflation began in earnest in 2013 under then-prime minister Shinzo Abe. “Abenomics” combined generous government spending and central bank monetary easing.
