nihongo|"God Mazinger"|ゴッドマジンガー|Goddo Majingā, also known as "Majin Densetsu" (魔神伝説), is an anime and manga series created by manga artist Go Nagai. It aired on Japanese TV in 1983 and lasted for 23 episodes.

Description

The plot is about Japanese teen Yamato Hibino, who is sucked through a time warp into the past, where the dinosaur army of the Dragonia Empire threatens the world, and Queen Aira of Mu needs Yamato to help her fight back with the aid of the stone-made guardian God Mazinger, that looks suspiciously like a giant robot. Their opponent is the evil Emperor Dorado and his son Prince Eldo, whose vendetta against Yamato was just starting before the show was canceled. The manga on the other hand, while it shares some similarities and the same premise, differs from the anime, with a more mature tone and it also has a proper conclusion. "God Mazinger" also has a novelization by Yasutaka Nagai, Dan Tatsuhiko and Hideki Sonoda, which lasts for 10 books.

The series is considered as part of the Mazinger saga, if not only for the name of the title and that of his creator. In fact, a Japanese book called "Mazinger Bible", released in 2002 for the 30th anniversary of the first Mazinger series, includes the God Mazinger, along with other Go Nagai's manga books that have not been made into anime, such as the adult-oriented "Mazin Saga", "Z Mazinger", and First Comics' "Mazinger" comic book released exclusively for the U.S. market in 1988.
