天元突破グレンラガン
The 1970s-style super robot genre revival began with "GaoGaiGar" in 1997 and continued into the 2000s, with several remakes of classic series such as "Getter Robo" and "Dancougar", as well as original titles created in the super robot mold like "Godannar" and "Gurren Lagann." "Gurren Lagann" in particular combined the super robot genre with elements from 1980s real robot shows, as well as 1990s "post-"Evangelion"" shows. "Gurren Lagann" received both the "best television production" and "best character design" awards from the Tokyo International Anime Fair in 2008. This eventually culminated in the release of "Shin Mazinger" in 2009, a full-length revival of the first super robot series, "Mazinger Z".
