Manga Productions The new Grendizer U anime series has finally had its first episode and it was actually pretty decent. The original UFO Robot Grendizer was released back in the late 70s in Japan, but it also found a huge audience across Europe and Saudi Arabia.
The latter region is key, as much of the funding for this new Grendizer U comes from Saudi Arabia. This version of Grendizer is also a bit different over the 70s original, not least for the modern animation and lovely character designs by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto , but it also switches up some of the core elements of how the original story worked. In that, the premise of the original Grendizer had Duke Fleed come to Earth with his mecha Grendizer and take on the alien Vega forces hell bent on galactic conquest.
Much of that is the same here, except for a few key points. The first is that the show is more based in Saudi Arabia this time around, which makes sense considering the investment. It’s honestly not at all jarring, as anime such as Gundam 00 were already set in the Middle East.
Not to mention that an alien invasion of Earth would be global, so why not show it from a Saudi Arabian perspective.
