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.
