Apparently Yasuhiro Imagawa, the director of such epic animes as the Giant Robo ovas and the first batch of episodes of Shin Getter Robo, will be directing a 26 episode Z Mazinger anime series (the Mazinger spin-off based on greek mythology).

Oh, Moon Phase, what would we do without you? The site reports that a new TV anime based on Go Nagai’s classic Mazinger Z– whch was originally adapted into anime from ‘72-’74 and continued in Great Mazinger and the Grendizer series after that –is in the works.

Edit: Correction: it’s Z Mazinger, a retelling of Mazinger Z using Greek mythology as a setup– more details on Wikipedia –that’s being made into a new anime, not the original. My bad!

According to Moon Phase, the new anime is going to be helmed by Yasuhiro Imagawa, of Giant Robo OVA and Tetsujin 28 fame, and it sounds like a 26-episode run has been arranged. The character design is going to be done in the classic, oldschool style, but the mechs will be done in a modern style.
