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.

The Lord returned home after a long day of hunting, a deer on his horse and a bow on his back. His apprentice had stayed behind, feeling unwell. He rode slowly through the forest, closed his eyes, and felt the warm sunlight on his face. He opened his eyes to a full moon rising. Time to make offerings and pray for peace, good weather, a bountiful harvest. And a child with his beloved wife. He smiled. As he approached, the house was quiet. Too quiet. He dismounted in the empty courtyard. “Feng Meng?” he called. Silence. He went to his apprentice’s
Strawberries are one of the fruits that signal the start of winter. Although “berry” is included in the name, a strawberry isn’t actually a berry in the __1__ sense of the word.
