Ten
years ago, the villainous scientist Dr. Hell led his wicked followers, known as
the “Underground Empire,” in a struggle to destroy all of humanity. It was
against these forces that the young hero Koji Kabuto fought, piloting the
legendary super robot “Mazinger Z.” Koji’s victory stopped Dr. Hell’s evil plan
and returned peace to the Earth.
Now
Koji has left the pilot seat behind and become a scientist in his own right,
following in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps. Yet an unexpected encounter
deep under Mt. Fuji triggers an even greater threat to mankind than ever before
and alters Koji’s destiny forever. With humanity’s fate in their hands, Koji
and Mazinger Z face a choice between good… and evil.
“We are excited to partner once again with VIZ Media on an
exciting anime project,” said Fathom Events VP of Programming Kymberli Frueh.
“We have seen an overwhelming fan response to anime titles and cannot wait to
bring ‘Mazinger Z’ to enthusiastic audiences nationwide.”
