Go Nagai Dynamic! The Best!!

Great collection of songs from various anime series based on manga by Go Nagai, including the classic Mazinger Z, Devilman, and, my favourite, Cutey Honey. The booming voice of the sadly recently deceased Ichiro Mizuki leads several tracks. Despite the abundance of pure testosterone and leeriness in Nagai's work, he also wrote a straight-faced magical girl series (as in a show for girls, not perverts), Majokko Tickle, represented here by the delightful disco-infused opening song sung by the legendary Mitsuko Horie. The best is saved for last: "Kitto VICTORY! The Theme of CUTIE HONEY" is a vocal version of Toshihiko Sahashi's glorious theme for Cutey Honey Flash (1997), sung by Mitsuko Horie. It's phenomenal, irrepressibly upbeat and heroic, and deserves to be as famous as the original Cutey Honey song.
