Absolutely and utterly nonsensical.
A cool collection of nostalgiabait gifs for someone's anime instagram account. This OVA features balls to the wall action plagues by production and direction issues caused by leaving/infighting, so it's a complete mess from a narrative standpoint. Going into this trying to get any clarity is an exercise in futility.
It does look amazing though, but at the same time, japanese black goo and tentacles get old even in a super robot setting with gore.
There's is barely any story whatsoever to extract here, since all dialogue is just "Shut up" and laughter from bad guys. Nothing makes sense, and if this does to you - then you must be a prophet.
Just watch Shin Getter Robo instead

Ok let me start by saying i absolutely knew what I was getting into when i started this. I knew i was here for the cool designs, trasformations and robot doing crazy stuff but DAMN if the series was bad. BRUH it felt RUSHED and SLOW at THE SAME TIME, HOW. shit was so bad it took me out of “there are cool fights” around half of it when I realised most of the animations were reused and the rest was bad.
Watch this high or drunk.
Pros: designs, big ahh robot
Cons: story is ass, characters are ass, fast paced during fights and slow paced during “plot”(plot consiste of men screaming), too much animation reuse, the opening is a Damn mashup of scenes and the song is kinda mid.

Getter Robo: Armageddon or Shin Getter Robo: The Last Day; Change!! Or Getter Robo: The Final Days of the World; or just Shin Getter Robo , is a Super Robot OVA from 90'S it's animation holds up pretty well , the characters are great , Ryoma is the best part , and of course the first episodes were done by a different director than the other episodes , the plot is the invaders alien race plan to control earth but the Getter Gang won't let them , the show is a blast from episode one to the last episode , pros the animation and characters, cons the plot is way different from episode 4 onwards, and it's never explained stuff like at all

I watched this when this first came out in the ate 90s. I never watched Getter Go so this was my first Getter series since G, as a fan I was ecstatic.
While I was new to learning Japanese at the time, the only part of this I didn't enjoy was the story it was very convoluted mainly because I was a reimaging including a imaging of GO. The OG characters were great especially Ryoma and Jin, the twist on Satome was also good but I just could connect with some of the newer characters.
The art design and anime were top notch then and still are by todays standards. SHIN Getter and Dragon are my favorite getter designs for a Mecha.
I own the soundtrack that's how good the music is. JAM project really come into prominence with HEATS one of the best OP themes for any anime let alone late 90s.

The first three episodes feel like the season finale of any other show.
Each of the final three episodes could be *the* final episode, but it just keeps going and escalating in a way only Gurren Lagann could manage to top, a decade or so later.
The stuff in the middle? It's lovely, works well enough to establish characters old & new, their role in this self-contained story, and the capabilities of their machines.
Also, unlike 80% of all anime the dub actually makes it better.
Peak super robot, no questions asked. I recommend it to literally anyone who likes fun things and isn't a joyless husk of a human. Quit reading this shit and go watch it, nerd.

Getter Robo Sekai Saigo no Hi (or Getter Robo Armageddon as it's usually called) is not a show that just anyone can hop in and enjoy. The only people who are going to find any true merit here and not write the show off as an absolute mess are people who are die-hard mecha fans and are an absolute sucker for hot-blooded mecha action with all the staples: yelling at the top of your lungs, announcing all of your attacks for an inane amount of time, gritty and angular character designs, yelling, exhilarating action sequences, transforming, combining, and more yelling.
The story isn't exactly nonsense, but it certainly seems that way given how poor of a job the show presents its plot points. Not visually, mind you: the animation of Getter Robo Armageddon is some of the best mecha action aroun…

I'm sorry, if you can't understand why this is a fantastic anime, then you're probably not going to understand what exactly MAKES a fantastic anime.
Everything about this, it's the climax of getter robo, it's gritty, hot blooded and so inspiring it spawned TTGL. Everything from HEATS to the end credits, to the very last scene is absolute, 100% what anime SHOULD be like. It makes it really hard to justify this not being one of, if not my favorite anime of all time
The story itself can be a little confusing, but after watching and reading other parts of getter robo, things should fall into place for exactly what we have here. Every line of dialogue is memorable, and the characters are spot on. I cannot recommend Getter Robo enough, but don't start with this one seeing as it's the last part…

I hate it when people uphold the opinion “so bad it’s good” or “turn off your brain to enjoy it.” My reasoning for disliking such opinion is that for something to emit a feeling of enjoyment, there has to be a cause to create the sensation. People don’t enjoy alcohol just because; they enjoy it for the sensation the drug has on the user’s brain and the solace that goes along with it. along the same vein , I do not enjoy Getter Robo: Armageddon just because; I enjoy this anime because of its accidental profoundness. To make things more clear. Yes this show is not good from a writing standpoint; it is terrible to be blunt. However, if you’re watching this show looking for writing, then you should find a different show. Armageddon’s strengths lie in its corny action. This show’s stakes never…

It is my first review hope you enjoy! :P
If you haven't whatched Getter Robot you have not enjoyed one of the best mecha animes ever!
story8/10: people that don't know the back-story will take a while to know everything(but you will understand as you go through because they explain it all) earth is attacked by aliens and the only way to stop them are these amazing robots powered by the getter rays(that's how they got the name lol) humanity seems to win but an accident happens with a massive getter powered bomb and all the people of earth have to hide underground but at the same time the aliens stayed up and started evolving.
art 9/10: the art is amazing for it to be released at that time is even better than some animes i am watching right now! the robots look spectacular and very precis…

This review will be a bit biased because its from a fan of the manga, so lets dive in. First off I love the art design and animation, better than most OVAs today. Next, the story, while incredibly different from the manga, is really good. A bit preachy about evolution, but the manga is like that too, so they nailed that. The characters are pretty good, and they are given enough time to develop their character throughout. The sound is good, a lot of triumphent music, which isn't anything new for the super robot genre. Overall, every, new or old, mecha fan will enjoy this title, loved watching it all the way through.

Abridged Review For People Who Don't Like Reading:
Getter Robo Armageddon is a show about giant robots thrashing the shit out of everything with glorious high quality animation. It could also totally kick Jupiter's ass.
Actual Review:
Getter Robo Armageddon - You have to be insane to enjoy this show.
Story
I'm not going to lie to you, the story is awful. It consists of all the typical BS you expect to find in anime and then some. There is incoherent babbling about evolution, a massive explosion that wipes out a good chunk of humanity, the "good guys" saving the Earth from the forces of evil despite the fact that almost all the Getter pilots are chaotic and insane (which according to the manga is practically a requirement to pilot Getter), some tidbits of SCIENCE which nobody actually…
