Getter Robo offers gun battles, cyborg monsters, explosions, and showers of blood--in the first minutes of the first episode. Created by Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa, Getter Robo was originally broadcast in 1974-75. The series helped to spark the craze for combining robots: three rocket planes with pilots link together to form the multiform mecha of the title ("getter" is derived from gatta, "combine" in Japanese). Tough, aggressive Kei looks a bit like Demi Moore in GI Jane; Go is the taciturn, noble hero and Gai, a big lug of a mechanic, offers semi-comic relief. The Getter Robots and their cyborg foes, the creations of the mad Dr. Saotome, are brilliantly designed machines whose angled, curving forms suggest power and mobility. The series is long on action and short on plot development. Every episode boasts at least one major battle, with flying metal tentacles, daring dive-bomber maneuvers, mechanical hand-to-hand combat, screams, gobbets of blood, and explosions. What's at stake in these conflicts and the relationships among the characters emerges more slowly. Getter Robo is part of the same universe as the artists' Grandizer and was an important series in the development of contemporary mecha anime. However, fans of Nadesico may have trouble watching it with a straight face, as this robot adventure is one of the series that was satirized in Gekigangar 3. Parental guidance suggested; suitable for ages 14 and up: considerable violence, profanity, brief nudity. --Charles Solomon

This series is a updated and more mature animi then the 70's version. Sometime between the end of the second series 'Starvengers' and the beginning of this updated version the Getter team went back to using the original Getter Robo robots, also the Getter Dragon robot is mutated into a giant misshaped dragon.
Part one introduces us to the main charaters and the villians of the story and how they invaded earth. The original Getter Robo robots 1 and 3 are seen being used as bodyguards in ... Read More

Getter Robo is one of Mazinger Z's (Tranzor Z on the US) brothers, one of the incredible Brainchildren of Go Nagai.
Using all the key elements needed in the 70's, Go Nagai created (yet again) one of the most copied styles of robot, the Combining Robot. Getter Robo bursted into the scene with incredible trasnformation (arms and legs sprouting from a tiny ship create a giant robot), Multiple pilots and an array of weapons that was etched into the minds of millions.
The success of the Original ... Read More

Let's start off by saying that I have never seen any of the old Getter series, however after seeing the beginning to this series I'd like to see how everything started even if from what some of the other reviews are saying that it's not as dark. If your looking for a Gundam style mech show that's more drama over mech action then look somewhere else. However if you like the perfect blend of story and crazy mech fighting,old school style, then by all means pick this series up (at least give it a rent).This ... Read More

Getter Robo, what can I say, Excellent, it's a continuation of the orginal story from the 80's, which was shown in the U.S. as Starvengers. But with a few differences, this story is a lot dark, sinister, and just plain evil. Which makes it cool. These episodes explain what's going on, and give you a taste of whats to come. The final thing I must say is, I can't wait for the next one.
