My gift to you all. The first 10 episodes of Mazinger Z - all .avi files with subtitles. I won't leave them up long, probably not-so-legal. Tear down this post if you need to. Get em here, if you have Mazinger love like I do:

Hey, thanks so much! I've been trying to get a torrent of mazinger to finish for weeks now.

I grew up watching Mazinger and Votes V in Manila. Thanks.

Hell yeah!! We got it all...Mazinger, Voltes V, Jeeg, Daimos, Grandizer, Gaiking, Uchuu Tetsujin Kyodain, Go Rangers, and a whole lot more....and then the President banned it all.
Thanks for the trip down my childhood, khanate

most welcome. first one I ever had was the huge shogun warrior. that thing got beat to shit...Mazinger is burned into my DNA at this point.

yeah..."that president" is super killjoy! hehe

i never thought way back then that Voltes V could start a revolution, would you? Or was it politics depriving good stuff again to kids?

LOL. ole Ferdinand banned it cause it was interfering with our education. HA! It turned out that the Japanese company producing the programs wasn't willing to pay him the kickbacks he wanted. So they took all those cool shows with em back to Japan and told him to go screw himself sideways.

Hey thats cool! He wanted to milk those Jap producers too? hehe. I thought he was affraid of the last few episodes of Voltes V, where a revolution was brewing---

Good thing, it was aired, in full, when it was revived during the 90's by the best tv station in Manila--GMA 7! The initial telecast was awesome! The station got so many calls, many got goosebumps, so many were emotional, it was nostalgic. It was like claiming what is rightfully ours.

man, that's totally interesting! stupid presidents!

Thanks man,
I think the best thing about this kind of stuff (and books too) is you get context. Since most of these were shows/movies to see the actual characters in action makes a huge difference in seeing the toys.

I'm leaving thiese up for another day or so...grab em quick if you want em...

Got a few PMs about codecs involved - just download VLC PLAYER (mac and PC versions available). It's free and it plays almost every type of media file.

also, try and get the 'combined community codec pack'. Contains all the codecs required and a couple of players.

thanks for these files Khanate

He banned video games because they were interfering with education. He banned the TV shows because he thought they were too violent. Then after a few years, Ferdi and the family were exiled...and now he lies frozen in a big block of ice and his wife will sometimes sing to him. I don't really know how their kids turned out but I do know that Imelda isn't playing with a full deck of cards.
