All in all, it’s a fairly decent version. It has some really great episodes, but it’s also riddled with problems.
There are major continuity issues, it’s absurdly repetitive, some episodes would have worked much better if they had been split into two parts, the editing is atrocious, and then there’s Monji…
Still, considering it’s a mecha anime from 1974, back when the genre was just starting out, I can forgive some of its flaws. The main characters are quite likable, and a few are even better than in the original manga—Michiru and Musashi being the best examples. The series is packed with strong episodes, great scenes, and plenty of memorable moments.
Better than the original manga? In my opinion, absolutely not. But as far as Getter Robo anime goes, it’s the second best, only behind the 2…

I can see a kid who born in around 70s going crazy watching but in this era of crazy anime pouring down from everywhere it is pretty below average or maybe average i guess. but when i start watching this i said to myself just reset your brain and watch it like you only watched few anime in your life. to my surprise i really enjoyed it. it's not crazy good or masterpiece or anything but it's pretty good. there is no much of a story or anything for this one but you can have a good watch at this one.(THIS IS NOT EVERYONE'S CUP OF TEA I REPEAT THIS IS NOT EVERYONE'S CUP OF TEA)

Toei Getter Robo is pretty Mid if I say so myself , its another Super Robot anime , but now it's can fuse into one Being , it's a run of the Mill Mecha anime , Akira Kamiya is Ryoma Nagare , that is always a plus the show got its place in Mecha anime history , Pros the music and theme song, cons the characters and writing, Toei Animation Getter Robo is a fun watch , not much else its still important for its Gaitai gimmick, the anime is a kid friendly version of the Ken Ishikawa manga its a more of a Downgraded in terms of Lore , and characterization

I initially had very little interest or knowledge of super robot animes. About all I knew was that Gundam exists and that was it. Then I got interested in Super Robot Wars (Original Generation, specifically) and when I decided to try some of the non-OG ones, I got interested in some of the various series that appear in said games. One such series that peaked my interest was Getter Robo, thanks to SRW A's rather prominent usage of Getter Robo.
Story:
There isn't too much of a story here. To be honest, I do not think it's really a strike against the show. It's really just an excuse for Getter Robo to go beat up the monster of the week while the Getter Robo theme blares in the background. In short, it's awesome. However, as the show goes on, a certain pattern starts to develop involving ch…

Hey, does anyone remember watching "Force Five" when growing up? Oh. Just me then. Damn I feel old. Well, sit thee down, young whippersnapper, and let me tell thee a tale while slowly stroking my bumfluff.
A long time ago (the 70s) in a land far, far away (Japan).... there were four unrelated super robot anime series and one not-super-robot anime series which got an English adaptation. The adaptation mashed them all together and presented them as an anthology under the umbrella title "Force Five". The show would air during weekdays, with a different series being shown each day. The version I watched had "Force Five: Starvengers" on Wednesdays, and that was my favourite. "Starvengers" was cobbled together from the anime "Getter Robo G", which was the sequel to "Getter Robo", and thus we fi…
