Toei continues to try and do some creative things with familiar properties, which we’ve seen a bit more of in the last year or two, and the latest is a new incarnation of the 2011 pilot film Toei Robot Girls with Toei Robot Girls Z. The series, which is set to debut in January 2014, has its episode 0 promo online now which you can see below as we see how it takes characters from Toei and Dynamic Planning and changes the various giant robots into cute girls for wacky and silly adventures that will delight many and infuriate others. The series is being directed by Hiroshi Ikehata based on scripts by Kazuho Hyodo with Tetsuya Kawakami doing the character designs.
- Mariko Honda as Z-chan
- Inori Minase as Gre-chan
- Kazusa Aranami as Grenda-san
- Aya Hisakawa as Ashura
- Yukiko Morishita as Garada-chan (Garada K7)
- Nao Tōyama as Doublas-chan (Doublas M2)
- Sota Arai as a shopkeeper
Plot concept: The stars of the new Robot Girls Z series are Z-chan (a girl reimagining of Mazinger Z), Gre-chan (Great Mazinger), and Grenda-san (UFO Robo Grendizer). Together they (try to) defend Photon Power Town from the mechanical beast girls Doublas-chan and Garada-chan. The villains are led by Baron Ashura, the underground emperor bent on world domination — or at least, town domination.
