I WISH THIS WAS FUCKING LONGER DAMMIT BRUH. THIS is what I expected when i was watching Shin Getter Robot Armageddon and I was so happy that when I started this I actually found amazing animations and cool robot fights with a simple story. My main problem is that with it being only 4 ep long it underexplored A LOT of cool shit that we had a glimpse at: the ufo, some robot transformations i cant describe, the original getter team and so on, with a good writer and more eps these concepts could’ve Made WONDERS. Also the american robot is fucking dumb and sucks ass but its so bad its good. In the end my review is still positive because if you are looking for something short, explosive and fucking bad Ass THIS is for you, also the opening is a BANGER

This show has great action direction. I mention that up front because this 4-episode OAV series is almost 100% action scenes. It never pauses for breath. In some shows that would be exhausting or tedious, but for an old-school super robot story it works just fine. As with seemingly every Getter series, it assumes familarity with other shows in the franchise, but the proceedings are so simple that it doesn't matter if you don't know these characters. There's really nothing you could call a plot here, just: bad guys show up, so fight, fight, fight. Fortunately, the fight, fight, fighting is entertaining from beginning to end, packed with high energy and back by a rousing score, so that's really all it needs. Getter Robo Armageddon was a better series overall, but that had 13 episodes to work…

Remember the olden days of super robot where there's no gray area and goodness always prevail? If you enjoy such shows or just want to reminisce about the past with a great, highly enjoyable show, then Shin Getter Robo Vs Neo Getter Robo (SGRvNGR) might just be your cup of tea. In general, SGRvNGR is an alternate reality version of the original Getter Robo franchise. Without spoiling much of the original Getter Robo, it shows what might happen if Musashi (the original Getter 3 pilot) sacrifices himself to destroy the Reptilian Kingdom before the unfortunate event that changes the original Getter Robo from a regular fun-filled, monster-of-the-day anime into a story that made the 12 years old me loses all faith in humanity (not really, but you get the point). If the second act of Getter Ro…

As this anime was lent to me by a friend on DVD, this is the first time I had viewed something from the Getter Robo franchise. From what I heard, the series, created by Go Nagai in 1974, is the earliest prototype of the combining mecha genre. Though, you have to hand it to Mr Nagai, being the guy who laid out the blueprint for the entire mecha craze. The basic outline of the franchise: The Reptilian Empire (a race of dinosaur-man hybrids) attacks humanity after leaving the underground for the first time in millions of years. A Reptilian mecha is captured by the humans, modified and used time and time again to foil their plans. That mecha is the Shin Getter Robo. Sounds familiar? You've seen this concept in just about every mecha anime that followed. Heck, studio Gainax practically cited…
