No.

not really as there are at least two Mecha anime prior to Mazinger Z; Tetsujin 28 and Astroganger(and this isn't even counting Manga or stuff like Astro Boy)

Yes. If you mean mecha to be giant piloted robots.

Astro Boy isn't mecha in the giant robot sense and Tetsujin isn't piloted.

Is there a collection of these Obari super robot prints? I have the Getter one and the Mazinger one, but I'd never seen this one before. Are the more of them?
