New Getter Robo - Rude Awakenings (Vol. 1)

As a fan of the original Manga and shows (Getter Robo, Getter Robo G, Getter Robo Go, and yes even Armageddon) This one is the best of them all. In the original show the enemy was Evolved Dinosaurs, in this one it goes back to the Manga and they are fighting Demons (The Oni). The Robo's are updates of the originals that look fantastic, the characters are back to the extremes they were in the books. Ryoma is an unbeatable street fighter, Jin Hyato is a downright psychotic murderer. The only diversion to the team is that Benkei is the pilot of getter 3 instead of Musashi. As usual the storyline is bizarre, but it wouldn't be Go Nagai's show if it wasn't a little nutz. The Animation is great, almost as good as Armageddon but I like the style of the new show better. As with all Getter DVD's, go with Japanese audio and subs. The english dub is good, but the subs usually (especially armageddon) explain the stories much better, and the Japanese voices are over the top, which I love. Some of the voices in the dubs a painful in this one, so save it for re-viewing. Awesome show, if you are a Robot fan that you MUST see this, you are missing out if you don't. The anime is also a great drinking game, every time they say Getter down a swig, you won't make it to the 2nd episode.

It was cheap and was collecting all the episodes. Was Satisfied with the animation Good Old anime story re-tuned for a newer audience

I had to type this again cause, I accidentally deleted my original post of this review. Anyway I really liked this updated version, of the classic giant robot anime Change Getter Robo. Only this time around they're fighting Oni, instead of the Mechasaurus Empire. But leave it to good old, Go Nagai to keep up the level of ultraviolence. As seen in previous titles Getter Robo Armageddon, Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo, Mazinkaiser and Mazinkaiser SKL.But it's still highly enjoyable none the less!

This is great fun. Be prepared for a very dark, gritty experience. This pays tribute to the Ken Ishikawa vision. These heroes are not nice people. They are vicious men who are brutal enough to endure the Getter rays that power their machines.

amazing! love it! fast prompt! amazing, must buy, 6 stars all the way golwing review!~ buy from this seller and the items from them!

I have been following the Getter Robo franchise in the U.S. since its release as The Starvengers in the early 80's as a segment of Force Five. I've always been a fan of The Starvengers, even though it was a bit campy, and was extremely pleased with the Getter Robo Armageddon series released by ADV Films. On that note, I found myself less than satisfied with the first installment of the New Getter Robo series. The mecha designs were very interesting, but the overall story and character development was somewhat lacking. I really want to like the series, and will probably give it a second shot, but if you are looking for the same storay quality that was present in Getter Robo Armageddon, you might be disappointed.

yesss

good
