It's SUPPOSED to be like that. It throws you in right in the middle of it to confuse and wow the audience, because they don't have a clue what's going on other than there being all this amazing over the top stuff going on. It's a hook to make you want to watch more. And to counter your group of friends, I screened it to my former anime society and they felt exactly that. You're only supposed to fully grasp the first episode as you continue to watch.

You also have to remember that Shin Mazinger isn't just a straight reboot of the franchise for newcomers. It's a retelling that incorporates a dozen variations of Mazinger along with a bunch of other Go Nagai works, so seeing all that crammed into an action-packed first episode appeals to existing fans.

For someone who talks about how people should watch Japanese audio because "it's the way the show was originally intended" you're showing a noticeable double standard here.
