About Z-Mind

Looking for background on Z-Mind (思春期美少女合体ロボ ジーマイン THE BATTLING DAYS OF THE "SHITAMACHI" VIRGINS)? This action and mecha series by Sunrise and Imagin (1999) starts out like this. The setup: Old school is back! And girl power reigns supreme!

Next up: Ayame, Sumire, Renge, and Satsuki are charged with the protection of the Earth from a mighty new enemy. These girls may be in for more than they`ve bargained for! They`ll have to not only master the experimental mobile armor: Z-Mind, hold down their part time jobs, all this while keeping their lives... normal!

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Yuuki Hamano as Ayame Hanakawado and Naoko Miura as Sumire Hanakawado. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 6 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Sunrise and Imagin is the studio behind Z-Mind, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.9/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Yuuki Hamano voicing Ayame Hanakawado gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 1999, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
