Oh, Moon Phase, what would we do without you? The site reports that a new TV anime based on Go Nagai’s classic Mazinger Z– whch was originally adapted into anime from ‘72-’74 and continued in Great Mazinger and the Grendizer series after that –is in the works.

Edit: Correction: it’s Z Mazinger, a retelling of Mazinger Z using Greek mythology as a setup– more details on Wikipedia –that’s being made into a new anime, not the original. My bad! :)

According to Moon Phase, the new anime is going to be helmed by Yasuhiro Imagawa, of Giant Robo OVA and Tetsujin 28 fame, and it sounds like a 26-episode run has been arranged. The character design is going to be done in the classic, oldschool style, but the mechs will be done in a modern style.
