Up until today, I've never released new content twice in the same month.  About time I've made the exception, right?  This latest review is in celebration of the "still-in-full-swing" PAX East, AND the soon-to-come Anime Boston, and as you're about to see - is dedicated to 2 Twitch content creators (one of which is also here on YouTube - http://youtube.com/GirlWithYellowSpoon). 
 Introductions aside, my latest is on an obscure beat-em-up/brawler hybrid based on Go Nagai's manga bearing the same name (outside of the main Mazinger story) by the combined efforts of Sega, the ill-fated Almanic (later Givro, of E.V.O. The Search of Eden fame) and Vic Tokai (Golgo 13, Clash at Demonhead, Imperium, Time Slip, etc).  

The main premise revolves around Koji Kabuto, son of the late Professor Kabuto, and his never-ending struggle against Godkaiser Hell's (aka Dr. Hell) relentless Steelmask Force of BioBeasts who've invaded our beloved Earth. Donning the titular, celestial Mazinger-Z suit of armor (made of the Super Spiritual Materia Z that provides the wearer with godly and/or demonic abilities depending on their inner will and spirit, with the ability to change size, no less), Kabuto will stop at absolute ZILCH to ensure that those Biobeast SOBs are put in their place!
