![]() In fact, it's so shit that the first episode is one of the funniest I've ever watched - it had me rolling on the floor as soon as the bombastic vocals "GAN GAN GAN GAN!" hit the opening theme. I hunted down the original "Getter Robo" in a bout of nostalgia, and like with most shows you remember watching when you were young, it turned out to be (to take a quote from "Zatch Bell",) "very shit". "Starvengers" was cobbled together from the anime "Getter Robo G", which was the sequel to "Getter Robo", and thus we finally get to the subject of this review. Starvengers" on Wednesdays, and that was my favourite. The show would air during weekdays, with a different series being shown each day. The adaptation mashed them all together and presented them as an anthology under the umbrella title "Force Five". there were four unrelated super robot anime series and one not-super-robot anime series which got an English adaptation. Well, sit thee down, young whippersnapper, and let me tell thee a tale while slowly stroking my bumfluff.Ī long time ago (the 70s) in a land far, far away (Japan). Hey, does anyone remember watching "Force Five" when growing up? Oh. Not everyone would agree though, haha.ĩ/10 - Enjoyable if you don't compare it to modern standards. Expectations were different then and it's no surprise things have changed since then! It's good for it's time and personally, I think it's still good. That is somewhat silly though, because Getter Robo didn't air in 2020, it aired in 1974. Tons of reused animation, a monster of the week format that becomes quite predictable, and so on. If one compares Getter Robo to more modern shows of any type, it's terrible. Time for Getter Robo." so in very short: I liked it.ġ0/10 - I didn't try to take it too seriously. I don't think was a time where I was like "Oh yay. I just took it for what it is, a silly, hammy, 70s cartoon about high schoolers beating up dinosaurs. Ryoma and Hayato are the more serious ones, but even then, they still can joke around.Ĭould be because it's the first super robot anime I watched, but I had a great time. They're all decent enough, Musashi is often there to provide some comic relief before Monji and his robot are introduced, and well after they are. I usually skip the openings of animes because I don't like them all that often, but this was one show where skipping "Getter Robo!" would be a silly move. The audio quality isn't the greatest, but well, it's going on 54 years old at this point. It has an epic opening, an epic ending, and lots of great tunes and arrangements of the OP that play during the episode. This is one area where Getter Robo excels. A lot of frames and sequences get reused but like I said, not surprising considering its age and length.ħ/10 - Nothing too outstanding, but not bad. Nothing is particularily busy or confusing, most likely because this was made before everything was done in a computer. This is the second oldest anime I've watched as of the time I'm writing this, so I'm not too familiar with the "par" of 70s anime art. ![]() ![]() However, as the show goes on, a certain pattern starts to develop involving characters introduced past the first few episodes which can get somewhat annoying as it falls into predictability.ĩ/10 for story, despite the fact there isn't really one. just an excuse for Getter Robo to go beat up the monster of the week while the Getter Robo theme blares in the background. To be honest, I do not think it's really a strike against the show. One such series that peaked my interest was Getter Robo, thanks to SRW A's rather prominent usage of Getter Robo. 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. About all I knew was that Gundam exists and that was it. ![]() ![]() I initially had very little interest or knowledge of super robot animes. ![]()
