God Mazinger [Blu-ray]

Japanese with English subtitles, all 23 episodes in standard definition, Region A disc. In the ancient, legendary past, the peaceful kingdom of Mu is under siege by the warlike Dragonian Empire. With a woeful amount of firepower and only a giant statue of a deity to watch over them, the young Queen Aira and her people are no match for the Dorado, the Golden King, and his army of dinosaurs. But Aira reaches out to someone who can save them, a warrior from another time and place. That person happens to be Yamato Hino, an average though highly athletic high school boy in modern-day Tokyo. At first Yamato thinks he’s going crazy when he gets messages from a spectral young woman, but she eventually convinces him to take the plunge… through a mystical portal to ancient Mu. Before the Tokyo teen can get acclimated, Dragonia attacks again, but this time, the dinosaurs and soldiers are repulsed by the giant God Mazinger, now merged with Yamato. Though Mu has achieved its first victory, they have a long way to go, as does Yamato, who will need to overcome his own deep character flaws and become a true warrior to save the kingdom and get back home. This contains the complete series in standard definition with the original Japanese language and English subtitles!
