Getter Robo

Start with one of three OVAs, read manga or watch the others if you like it.
Keep in mind they're all different storylines.

>>14619802

OVAs. Manga being good is a meme.

>>14619836
>>14619817
Are the OVAs especially good or something? Why go for those over the actual series?

>>14619845

They're fun.

>>14619845
They're short enough to get you in and wanting more fast, while different enough from the source material that they don't really subtract from it.

>>14619802
>Manga or Anime?
Yes.

You have 10 seconds to explain why you think Armageddon is better than New even though New is better in every way!!

Do it or I'll blow your head off!!

Fact: No one here would ever get into Getter Robo if they were not exposed by the OVAs first. That's what made people want to read the manga in the first place. And then there was a backlash from people who believed the manga to be perfect and flawless. Which is not true.

>>14619836
But reading the manga helps you appreciate the references in the OVAs more.

>>14619836
>X is a meme.
Come on anon, Use a better excuse than that.

>>14620031
Armageddon has Black Getter in it. While New Getter had the bridge scene, Black getter pulls ahead.


>>14620107
I don't think it's flawless or perfect. I do think it's good.

>>14619802
Don't listen to these retard plebs. The manga is the best starting point and best media for Getter Robo. The OVAs are bad remixes of the manga and the Toei series is for toddlers (Anno's own words).

>>14620031
new was worse in pretty much every way, that scene where ryoma fucking stabs himself and goes apeshit is the only good part of new and 90% of that is due to the song only

>>14620107
>And then there was a backlash from people who believed the manga to be perfect and flawless.

>>14620147

See what I mean?

>>14620163
Where in that post did it imply Getter is perfect and flawless? Are you really such a tiny bitch that you can't handle someone posting that they think the manga is best out of the OVAs and TV series? You're a complete moron who is most likely mentally ill.

where do i start with getter robo?

>>14620218
Bait.

>>14620107
I've never watched the OVAs

>>14620218
Start with the original story, the 70's manga. It also predates the Toei anime, so don't start with that shit spiccers.

>>14619802
>>14620218
anything that is available to you,it's not like the fucking thing has an non-ending supply of stuff like gundam, just keep in mind that the manga, old anime and the three ovas are different continuities.
if you want action, go for the ovas and if you want more go for the manga (as a warning expect an old artstyle during the first and second part of the manga), after that and if you know jap or can watch stuff in crabstick, go for the old anime

>>14620183

This, Getter Robo was irrelevant for decades. If it was not for the popularity of Super Robot Wars, it would never had the revival it had from the late 90s and early 00s. It would be a dead franchise just as it is today and for most of its existence not counting the early 70s.

>>14620488
>It also predates the Toei anime

No, it doesn't. They were made at the same time and independent from each other. It was not common back at that era for anime to be based in a existing manga work. There's exceptions like Tetsuwan Atom, Tiger Mask or Babel II, but most of them were meant to advertise each other. This process was called Media Mix. I know you guys just love to spawn the anime was based in the manga, but it was not. They didn't changed Ryoma from a martial artist to a soccer player or anything like that. Ishikawa just decided to do it differently because he had the freedom to do so.

We've been over this countless times, pablo.
Toei anime debuted 昭和49年4月4日
Manga debuted 昭和49年3月31日
Additionally, Ishikawa's story and design planning happened before the planning for the animation ever began. The manga is the author's original work, the TV series is an adaption. Get over it.

New Getter Robo was the first major encounter for a lot of us

>>14620876

I will not discuss because I already know you guys treat this matter as some kind of religion. Manga pages are done faster than producing an weekly anime series. Usually in most of media mix projects, the manga came first for a matter of convenience. There's no lines to be recorded, no coloring, no screen test, etc. But even if you guys know you're wrong, you keep insisting on it, so let's stop here because you and me know this is not going anywhere.

I will just keep posting in case newcomers are interested in the true story instead of blind fanboyism.

>>14620876
>air dates and publication dates
Wow it's fucking nothing. Cartoons take longer to develop than still pictures and both would have been completed well in advance of release.

>Ishikawa's story and design planning happened before the planning for the animation ever began.
This could very well be story and design planning for the media mix project. IE. planning for the common elements of all resulting products. Saying that this is the certainly the comic already in production is a leap of logic.

Now I'm not taking sides here but you've proven nothing. The truth is that we will never know for sure and anyone claiming to know the gospel truth is wrong.

>BAAWW MY CONJECTURE
Try to attempt human level thought. Toei did not design the robot. They did not make the characters. They did not create the scenario. The creation of Getter Robo is through the planning of Dynamic Production. Toei could not have started any sort of anime production without a series to use. Because it is an adaption of a work by Dynamic Pro. Your argument doesn't make sense from any standpoint: You claim that the manga does predate the anime. You are proven wrong by published fact. Then you claim that you cannot be wrong because in your opinion anime takes a long time to make so it's first. That doesn't make any sense, because it is a known fact that Dynamic Pro created Getter Robo and without Getter Robo there is no production to start. We can logically conclude that Dynamic Pro planned and drafted Getter Robo first. Therefore, the version of Dynamic Pro is the original work. This is how it is also how it is referred to in Japanese credits for animation projects. You simply do not make sense on any level and have been proven wrong by sourceable fact. You need to stop posting.

>>14621118

No one took the Dynamic Pro credit away. But the reason Getter Robo exists is because it was conceived as both an anime series and a manga. The manga alone would not have existed if the anime was not in the works. Actually, that's why Go Nagai is still credited even if Getter Robo is a Ken Ishikawa's creation. He was there in the planning stages and he made the initial steps by discussing it with Toei producers and sponsors. Ken Ishikawa did work for Mazinger and other Go Nagai's properties before that, but Getter Robo was the first time Nagai gave him the chance to write and draw the official manga tie-in. Usually in the media mix series, there's several manga based on the anime/manga running in different magazines aimed at children (even if they can be crazy violent sometimes), but only one is considered the "official" manga version, the one running in a "real" manga magazine like Shonen Sunday or Shonen Magazine. That's what the japanese mean when they use the term 原作版 (original version).

The Getter Robo manga everyone knows was a example of this case, but the anime was already in production before the manga started. That's the only point being discussed here.

>>14621472
>Actually, that's why Go Nagai is still credited
False. Go Nagai is credited because he came up with the concept of the robot.
>He was there in the planning stages and he made the initial steps by discussing it with Toei producers and sponsors.
No.
>Ken Ishikawa did work for Mazinger and other Go Nagai's properties before that
He designed many of the monsters in the Mazinger Z manga and helped create the first ones that were adapted into the TV series.
>but Getter Robo was the first time Nagai gave him the chance to write and draw the official manga tie-in.
No, Getter Robo was a concept by Nagai that he pushed onto Ishikawa because he wanted Ishikawa to start doing full time serializations.
> but only one is considered the "official" manga version, the one running in a "real" manga magazine like Shonen Sunday or Shonen Magazine. That's what the japanese mean when they use the term 原作版 (original version).
That's completely fabricated and outright ridiculous. 原作版 means exactly what its kanji describes. It refers to the original work in a series.

>but the anime was already in production before the manga started
This never happened. Post proof for your claims or don't post at all.

And there you go again. It's funny how you just rephrased some stuff I said in an attempt to prove me wrong. But let's not be anal about it, your religion is your religion.

I miss when we could have a Getter thread that wasn't full autism.

I just want to watch real men ram into and dock with one other from behind.

You're both wrong.

The anime is an adaptation of the concept, not the manga.

DP just gives a bunch of rough outlines to Toei, and they decide to do whatever with it.

There is a reason why the Devilman anime ended up different and why no character like Satan existed.

>>14621660
>I miss when we could have a Getter thread that wasn't full autism.
Agreed.

>>14621660
>I miss when we could have a Getter thread that wasn't full autism
Getter threads were always full of autism, and this is something that won't change

There is a significant difference between being full of autism, and being full autism.

Spending 300+ comments not actually discussing Getter Robo, and calling everyone pedro falls under full autism.

No, you're entirely wrong. The Devilman anime was actually made before the manga. Devilman started as a anime alternate telling of Demon Lord Dante.

Mario is actually here >>14622078

Is it possible to have a single getter thread without shitposting?

Apart from Devolution, has any of the non-Ishikawa Getter been translated? Everyone talks about how much they suck so they've taken on a sort of "forbidden fruit" quality for me.

>>14622372
hien is.
