The Mazinger Z anime has not aged well at all. I know that gets said about every show older than like 1980, but ut's especially true here. I'm not gonna mention the rough art and stiff animation because I assume you already caught on to that. Besides the bigger issue is how crazy sexist it is.

The premise is that the hero finds a crazy powerful mech and later meets a woman who pilots a weaker mech but is a much more experienced pilot and then they team up and fight an evil villain's monsters of the week. The thing is the girl's only real contributions are in teaching the guy how to pilot a mech. Despite the fact that she's way better at it and could probably be more effective in the ultra-op Mazinger Z, she isn't allowed to assume the combat role that would entail because she's a girl.

That isn't my personal headcanon or agenda or whatever, they straight up tell her she isn't allowed to fight because of her gender. The wordt offender is this one episide that starts with her trying to convince the engineers at the institute that takes care of the mechs to give her's some decent weapons for a change, but they straight up tell her that they won't give any useful combat armaments to a girl. Later in the episode she's out in her mech when the mosnter of the week attacks. She fights it while Mazinger Z is on its way and she lands direct hits with everything she's got. But because her mech's weapons are weak as tits (that's wordplay, because that's literally all the weapons her robot has: tits) she gets her ass kicked and needs to be saved by Mazinger Z coming in and pressing its win-button. And then the story unironically presents the moral as being that girl's shouldn't be in charge of weapons, and the girl apologizes to everyone for having been attacked. Its a pretty hard thing to get past in order to enjoy the show.
