There is a new team of "Toei robot girls" named "Team Z" that is made up of three girls based on Toei's Mazinger Z franchise: Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, and UFO Robot Grendizer. Usually they perform in activities around Nerima ward in Tokyo to raise the awareness of the promising future energy source "Photon Power". However, there are times when "Mechanical Beast" team of girls emerge from the "Subterranean Empire" and attempt to steal the energy. Thus "Team Z" has to battle them to prevent this, though sometimes they just go and beat up the "bad girls" to relieve stress.

(Three episodes watched):

I wish this show was a little funnier. It has a bizarre premise with potential: a parody of the standard fight-of-the-week mecha series. Maybe if I had grown up watching the classic mecha series I would get more jokes, but I didn't. Perhaps as a result this show, which you would think would be wild and crazy, seemed kind of tired and unadventurous. It sort of falls into the same trap as the shows it is supposed to be parodying, in the sense that it gets repetitive--the bad girls send out a feeble fighter or two, who get their asses kicked. Maybe ten minutes is too long for a premise like this. It is amusing, but not LOL funny. For some reason three 'episodes' are bundled together, even though this is supposed to be a TV series. Presumably this will be done three times to account for the nine episodes (clearly this is not a weekly show). I may watch this, since it has some charm, but it hardly thrills me.
