Shin Getter Robo

The original Getter Robo anime and manga by Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa were the definitive classics of the 70's. Thirty years later, the original story gets an alternate re-telling in the form of New Getter Robo. The question is, does it live up to the hefty getter name? For the most part, yes. The story of New Getter Robo is definitely not its forte. Rather than focusing on actual storytelling, the plot mostly just seems like an excuse to pit the three violent and near-psychotic men against legions unfortunate foes. While this may put off some viewers, it does make for plenty of screen timefeaturing the getter team turning its enemies into bloody smears on the ground, with or without their trusty super robot. Think of New Getter Robo as a Power Rangers series that kids were never meant to watch -- if you like the monster-of-the-week feel that is light on the plotting, you should be able to enjoy what New Getter Robo offers. The characters, on the other hand, are definitely the strength of the series. The three protagonists are simply, for the lack of a better word, badass. There is never a dull moment while watching the trio pulverize oni large and small, because you can see their love for the job when they shout those iconic phrases such as "Change Getter One!" asvthe catchy battle theme boom from your speakers. Though neither deep nor complex, Ryoma, Hayate, and Benkei are perfect for New Getter Robo, which happens to be a simple and straightforward story. The art style featured in this series is nostalgic yet dynamic. Sketch lines are used for shading, much like older anime series', but the use of thick lines in the rendering of each scene creates a bold sensation that makes it feel larger than life. However, though that animation is crisp and clean, the amount of detail is rather low. Background art never goes beyond being functional, the frame rate never enters the realm of smooth, and the transformation sequences are either reused or omitted. Though the style and limitations of New Getter Robo's animation certainly does add to the air of nostalgia, it does put the production value of the series into question. The amount of enjoyment derived from New Getter Robo depends strongly on personal taste. If you enjoy shows of the super robot genre such as mazingkaiser and other Go Nagai classics, or if you just want some action that is light on thinking, New Getter Robo is definitely worth a look. But if the idea of watching three grizzled men in colorful tights fighting in a giant robot only evoke thoughts of ridicule in your mind, chances are, this is not for you.

First, this was my first experience with the Getter Robot series and I didn't read anything about the manga or the 1974 main series. Getter Robot is one of the most popular fuses and my experience watching the anime was quite satisfactory, despite the series having only 13 episodes I think the ending was interesting. The animation by Getter Robo reminds me a lot of the cartoon animation of The Big O, despite being inconsistent in some specific moments, the animation in the end managed to please my expectations. The characters are the strongest point of the work and I really like how they have different personalities, thatis, they are the type of characters that many people end up liking right from the start, but there are others that don't really like these types of characters. The soundtrack even though it is the same as Opening, they can make a good impression at the time of battles and even get nostalgic at times, but I think the anime could have a variation of Osts. About the design of Getter Robo, well ... I thought it was really cool and it is completely different from the other strands that I'm used to seeing .. And to those who like strands with overpowers characters I think you could take a look at the anime, and to those who don’t like it, I recommend to go far.

The inaugural Getter Robo anime and manga, crafted by the ingenious Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa, indisputably reigned as the quintessential masterpieces of the 1970s. Three decades subsequent to their debut, this foundational narrative receives an alternative rendition through the advent of New Getter Robo. The pertinent inquiry arises: does this reimagining uphold the formidable legacy of the Getter moniker? Predominantly, the response is affirmative. The narrative framework of New Getter Robo scarcely constitutes its most compelling attribute. Eschewing a meticulous emphasis on intricate storytelling, the storyline predominantly serves as a rudimentary pretext to unleash three ferocious and borderline maniacal protagonists upon a multitude of haplessadversaries. Although this approach might repel certain spectators, it undeniably allocates ample screen duration to the Getter ensemble, who gleefully reduce their opponents to gory splatters across the terrain—occasionally employing their reliable super robot, and at times without its aid. Envision New Getter Robo as a rendition of Power Rangers explicitly contraindicated for juvenile audiences; should you relish the episodic "monster-of-the-week" ambiance with minimal narrative depth, this series promises to deliver gratifying entertainment. Conversely, the characters unequivocally emerge as the bedrock of the series’ allure. The triumvirate of leading figures can be succinctly described—lacking a more apt descriptor—as supremely formidable. Monotony finds no foothold as viewers witness this trio relentlessly decimate oni of varying magnitudes, their fervor for combat palpably radiating through exuberant declarations like "Change Getter One!" accompanied by the resonant strains of an infectious battle anthem reverberating from your audio system. While devoid of profound complexity or intricate depth, Ryoma, Hayate, and Benkei embody the ideal archetypes for New Getter Robo’s unabashedly straightforward and unembellished tale. The aesthetic presentation within this series evokes a nostalgic resonance while simultaneously exuding vigorous dynamism. Shading techniques employ sketch-like lines reminiscent of vintage anime productions, yet the incorporation of bold, thick contours in delineating each frame engenders a striking impression that amplifies the grandeur beyond mere realism. Nevertheless, despite the animation’s pristine and polished execution, its intricacy remains somewhat sparse. Background visuals seldom transcend utilitarian simplicity, the frame rate rarely ascends to seamless fluidity, and transformation sequences oscillate between repetitive recycling and outright omission. Although these stylistic choices and inherent constraints undeniably enhance the nostalgic aura enveloping New Getter Robo, they concurrently cast a shadow of doubt upon the overall production caliber of the series. The degree of satisfaction gleaned from engaging with New Getter Robo hinges profoundly upon individual predilections. Should you harbor an affinity for the super robot genre—exemplified by titles such as Mazinkaiser and assorted Go Nagai opuses—or if you merely crave action-oriented fare that demands scant intellectual exertion, New Getter Robo unequivocally merits your consideration for a viewing endeavor.

I mean, if you get into this expecting some actual character writing or incredible plot you’re just dumb. I actually enjoyed watching this and it had the potential of being the best getter related project I’ve seen (especially since the animation in the first ep was really good). However the animation does get worse and the enemy robots character designs are ATROCIOUS ffs. The characters themselves are not written in the least but are actually not annoying to watch on screen (weird for a mecha anime if you ask me) (*cough* Armageddon was ass) and also the plot is compelling for the most part, untilu think about it that is. All that being said my opinion on this is still not negative as it kept me curious and wanting to see the next episode. As the usual getter robo anime, looked fire and did not live up to the potential
