It's going to be terrible in the same way New Getter Robo and Shin Mazinger was. The characters are going to, per Getter tradition, be unlikable pricks.

That was my first thought too. I'm not as excited for this as I was for Shin Mazinger but it should be pretty interesting; it looks like it might be Getter's answer to Mazinkaizer SKL.

Was the second half of SKL good?

I didn't like the first half much, though that may have been because I was still hyped up from Shin Mazinger and SKL wasn't more of that.

Time to get real rowdy and punch some bad dudes with a dinosaur fist and also combine to become a dinosaur I guess. Dino-gattai or whatever. Getter 3 has a dino face on it's torso (which has Getter 1's face stretched across the nose section which owns) and Getter 2 has a dino head instead of the regular pinchy-claw.

Honestly I like the idea that every Getter Robo adaption does its own thing while still incorporating elements of the manga. Adapting the entire manga could be tough because it'd take a lot of work to keep the animation at a consistent level.

Still, someone should make some kind of good mecha anime, rather than seasons and season of no mecha at all, and the few times we do get mecha, it's usually bad or at the very least still underperforming in the story department compared to GGG.

Right. The first episode is fine if you're up for :rock: plus :black101: in robot form. The animation of SKL fighting was all right. Then the second episode sucks because they tried to pretend there was a plot and the :rock: plus :black101: was bad because they reused all the animation from the first episode. Then the third episode is ok, but drags horribly because the main characters won't kill the final bad guy. Who wants a pilder fight?

I'd like this to be longer, but if they just have a bunch of Getter on Dino murder, possibly in space, possibly while we rock out for an hour, I'll be all right with it.

Gettersaurus looks way different from these, but I would love to see an animated version of Getter Robo Āḥ nonetheless. It's the only one that hasn't been put to animation in some form, hasn't it? Discounting Hien and the like.

Yeah it's a shame that they had to reuse animation in a 3 episode OVA. Makes me wonder what the hell happened in production. Pretty fun to watch overall though, and the OP is :krad:

It does, but these might be the main Getter while Dino Getter is something they're just tempting us with. Āḥ has never been an anime before. Armageddon and Shin vs. Neo were both based on Go, at least somewhat, and New was part the original and part the Shin Getter Ishikawa made between Go and Āḥ. If this is an anime of that, it also means this will be the first chance we've ever gotten at a real ending for Āḥ.

The thing about SKL is that it feels like a throwback to grimdark 80s anime that had gratuitous gore and characters that are inscrutable and a plot that moves super fast while making no sense. If you look at it in that light it basically becomes a perfect show but if you never had any sort of appreciation for things like that it will probably come off as shallow.

I gave Danball Senki Wars a shot, but it devolved into Gundam type Us v.s. Them rivalry bullshit really quickly. Tried Gyrozetter too, and again, the characters were unlikable.

Guess I'm stuck waiting for that small company to put out more Raijin-Oh episodes, even though Raijin-Oh was from the early 90s, ......at least it's good.

Because Zeorymer is pretty much the worst mecha show ever made. As Evil as I said Kamina was, he's got nothing on the protagonist who literally tries to rape someone.

I think it has more in common with the violent, sexual OVAs of the 80s/90s. The sort that Manga Entertainment would dub (though it doesn't go nearly as far as some of the more infamous examples).

Okay. Those "Dino Getters" look...what's the word...clunky. Like, too much detail has been put into the design. Still, I'll wait until I see them in motion before rendering full judgment.

Nothing, like I said, I literally have not logged in there for years until today, when I was reminded to update it.

It took a few GGG re--watches to realize they were just as schlock as TTGL. I came to that realization when I saw Shin Mazinger's horrible non-ending, and came to the realization that Nagai and Ishikawa were hacks.

Because back when I first watched those shows, I was reacting the same way "fandom" reacted to TTGL when it aired. I.e. not thinking about the plot and such. Only when I put it through the same level of analysis that I do with GGG or Star Trek or any proper sci-fi that they loving fell apart.

Now that I've had the time to calm down, I agree that they look a little busy. It's something about the amount of segments combined with the pointy-ness. I think it's that designs moved away from the rounder shapes of the seventies, which I prefer a lot, and we're seeing a Getter designed in the modern age where everything is pointed and edged.

The mecha designer is NINNIN. He's got a small design gallery on his Twitter, and also a lady in a shell bikini. I don't know what that's about, but these designs were used for figures at Wonder Festival this year. This poster is still marked with 2014, and I see more than just us billing this as an anime around the internet, so I'm still hoping.
