MAZINGER Z: INFINITY 2-Night Special Screening Across the U.S.

In partnership with Fathom Events, theaters across the United States will receive a special two-night screening of the Mazinger Z: Infinity film in February.


Mazinger Z: Infinity will be screened in theaters across the U.S. on Sunday, February 11 and Monday, February 12, both in its original Japanese audio with English subtitles.

Attendees can find the complete listing of theaters and ticket information at www.FathomEvents.com/events/mazinger-z-infinity.

The new film, which was produced by Toei Animation, takes place ten years after the conclusion of the famed Mazinger Z TV series. VIZ Media has secured the theatrical, broadcast, digital streaming, EST, and home video rights for the U.S. and Canada from Toei Animation.

Toei Animation describes the film:

Humanity was once in danger of its downfall at the hands of the Underground Empire, which was led by the evil scientist Dr. Hell. Koji Kabuto piloted the super robot Mazinger Z, and with help from his friends at the Photon Power Laboratory, he thwarted Dr. Hell’s evil ambitions and returned peace to the world.

It’s been ten years since then… No longer a pilot, Koji Kabuto has taken after his father and grandfather by starting down the path of the scientist. He encounters a gigantic structure buried deep beneath Mt. Fuji, along with a mysterious indication of life…

New encounters, new threats, and a new fate await mankind. The former hero Koji Kabuto has a decision to make about the future: whether to be a god or a devil…

This grand action film depicts the fierce battle fought by the people and Mazinger Z–once again entrusted with the future of mankind!
