I know that, but here not many people in the US know 70's and 80's super robots are. It seems like Gundam is the only Mecha that most people know about. There was a American 80's dub of Mazinger Z, but that was 30 years ago. Shin Mazinger Shougeki! never got a English dub here in the US. It came out in 2009, it's still rather recent and Funimation said that they have no interest on dubbing it. Seems perfect for Toonami if it was ever dubbed.

I do feel like anime like Mazinger Z and Gunbuster are just as obscure as Kamen Rider. So saying that a obscure series not selling well is still BS to me. I know Tiga got a dub from 4kids, but that was 11 years ago back in 2003. That bombed too. So did Ultraman: Great aka Towards to the Future.
