Getter Robo Armageddon

 I have been familiar with Getter Robo series through SRW for quite a long time but this is the first time i actually delved into the Animation series. I picked Armageddon as my gateway to the series and as expected it is a good Super Robot Show considering it has OVA budget. Used Prominently on Another Century Episode 3, Armageddon is the Post Apocalyptic chapter of Getter Robo where Humanity are on the brink of destruction due to the costly war against Alien Races that is attracted to Getter Ray Radiation called Invaders. Being one of the OG of the Super Robot, Getter Robo Armageddon is a pure distilled Hotblooded Manliness even if the Seiyuus are not the same with the old one. Surprisingly the old school mecha design of the Getter-1 looks really good in Armageddon and younger mecha fans should be able to stomach this one

Apparently Getter Robo Armageddon was handled halfway by Yasuhiro Imagawa, an esteemed director for Super Robot series for some reason. Had he gone a fully commited with the series, we would have expected a stronger storytelling for Armageddon, but as it is the series is quite good already as it is properly concluded. If you are interested with Getter Robo but not too keen with the 70s series, i think Armageddon worth a try. For the next Dynamic Pro series, i think i should try Shin Mazinger Z which should be very good as well.
