Anyway it seems like we've got double /m/ birthdays this week with Gundam's being on the 7th

What do you know, I'm on episode 39 of Exkaiser today, and fucking Getter-2 shows up.

Makes sense, since there's a lot of Gattai going on in that show. On a related note, Silver Castle got to the scary swole Santa episode, so they should be done soon.

Shitty series
Devolution is terrible.
Let's hope for a new ova at the 50th annivesary, one that isn't shit and isn't directed by Kawagoe or Imagawa.
>>14081320
I'm not sure if there'll even be an OVA market for anything but TV anime and Gundam then.

I dunno man I liked the ovas.
>>14081362
It was a wild dog trying to attack him. It was perfectly in line.
>>14081362
fuck dogs
>>14081389
We need something that demostrates what kind of threat Getter actually poses to the universe. That'd require a director who actually read the source material instead of giving a generic ''good guys win'' bullshit ending. None of the ovas actually made an effort to explain anything concerning Getter rays.
>>14080222
>>14080333
Unpossible
>>14081415
I really wish for just a straight, no frills bullshit adaptation of the manga.
>>14081415
Imagawa was on his way to do something cool tho, not his fault he got kicked out of the OVAs for being a lateass
>>14081473
But that's entirely his fault.
>>14081415
>None of the ovas actually made an effort to explain anything concerning Getter rays
Which is a good thing. Getter Rays work best as nebulous bullshit force. That's the whole point of the "cosmic horror" you mangafags are always going on about. You're not supposed to understand it
>>14081597
>you mangafags
Oh great, it's you. Shitpost elsewhere.
>>14080222
>>14080333
This is the will of Getter
>>14081610
Well he's got a point Lovecraft does the same thing with his cosmic shit
>>14081650
Irrelevant, now fuck off along with your shitposting buddy.
I've seen far too much shitting on the ovas in recent years.
They're not as good as the comics, but fuck it man, they're still one of the funnest adaptations I can think of.
Story and plot isn't everything. I re-watch pieces of the the Getter ovas every month or so, and they still manage to entertain.
>>14081703
>I've seen far too much shitting on the ovas in recent years.
Honestly, all I've seen is people who enjoy the ovas get really defensive. Like, so what if some guy posted that he didn't like the ovas and he wanted a new one directed by someone other than Kawagoe? Why do you have to get defensive about that and make the post I'm replying to?
>>14081703
Fuck off cuck, nobody cares.
Invincible cosmic warrior, Getter Man!
Does anyone know any non-shady-as-fuck place to download this book?
>>14081722
I'm on the defensive because mangafags are always on the offensive.
And no, I'm not the spic above. I just happen to enjoy both manga and anime. Big fucking deal.
>>14081724
>cuck
Take your new meme words elsewhere, newfag.
>>14081722
It happens because you've got people like >>14081782 throwing around shit like mangafags as if that actually means anything.
>>14081792
It kind of does, I've seen people talk about the Getter Robo manga as if it's some sort of masterwork of Lovercraftian literature that incorporates aspects of Buddhist philosophy into a sublime, enlightening narrative
The story is mostly just a series of excuses for a giant robot to hit things in various ways.
>>14081808
>sublime, enlightening
Take a tip, take a tip, take a t-t-t-ip from me, getter robo's alright but it ain't no ZZ
Let's just ignore the shitposter, shall we?
Getter time
>>14081808
>It kind of does
No, it doesn't. Stop pulling shit out your ass.
>>14081827
Can you blame me when I've seen posts like this?
http://desustorage.org/m/thread/13790219/#13790553
>>14081843
But all of that is true and can be backed up by examples. What don't you agree with?
>>14081851
I don't agree with specifically his last point about the manga. That shit is reading way too much into elements that barely mean anything in terms of the actual narrative, which for the most part is, as he puts it "mindless action and hotblood."
And I'm not sure what he's getting at with the OVAs not being logical and consistent either. If we want to take that approach, why not also include the huge differences between the 70s manga and the post 70s manga?
>>14081880
>That shit is reading way too much into elements that barely mean anything in terms of the actual narrative, which for the most part is, as he puts it "mindless action and hotblood."
Well that's just not true. All of those points are supported by the manga and you can look at the many threads over the years with detailed discussion of those elements of the manga.
>And I'm not sure what he's getting at with the OVAs not being logical and consistent either.
Because the ovas are full of plot holes, dropped storylines and handles getter energy to the point where people just say its magic ain't gotta explain shit.
>If we want to take that approach, why not also include the huge differences between the 70s manga and the post 70s manga?
Are you okay? That's a completely different subject from the ovas not having consistent plots.
>>14081901
>All of those points are supported by the manga
Really? At what point in the story did the themes of conflict between "proto-humans and modern humans" mean anything? In fact, how is that a meaningful theme in general? I don't see how "We were here first!" "Who gives a shit, we're here now!" helps give the narrative any more depth since that is the extent of the discussion. And if you're going to wank about it, you have to apply the same wank to SvN since they both touch on it at about the same level.
>plot holes, dropped storylines and handles getter energy to the point where people just say its magic ain't gotta explain shit
Which could also describe the manga. Need I remind you of the different versions of the same events presented in Go and Shin? The only real difference between how the OVAs and how the manga handle Getter Rays is that the manga give them more sentience, which it's able to do since it's a longer narrative (although New attempts it as well when adapting Shin). I mean, I don't know how the ability to swallow a nuke could be considered anything other than magic.
Stop these pointless arguments. You can like one or the other, or both.
This is Getter's birthday thread, not the thread where we all act like spics for the hell of it.
>>14081936
Yeah, I'm just gonna stop. I enjoy all of Getter and I think it's silly that people call the OVAs inferior, but I admit that continuing on like this is pointless.
>>14081929
>Really? At what point in the story did the themes of conflict between "proto-humans and modern humans" mean anything?
Here's the problem with your argument: you're trying to assert that it doesn't have enough meaning. Well, fuck off. The simple fact is that those elements of the story do plainly exist and you are salty.
>And if you're going to wank about it, you have to apply the same wank to SvN since they both touch on it at about the same level.
They do not. At any point. You're welcome to prove otherwise.
>Which could also describe the manga
No, because getter energy has defined traits that are consistent in the manga.
>Need I remind you of the different versions of the same events presented in Go and Shin?
You mean Hayato's lie to Go? It would help if you relied on more than just vague nothings for your argument.
>The only real difference between how the OVAs and how the manga handle Getter Rays is that the manga give them more sentience
Are you sure you've watched the ovas and read the manga? Because I sure don't remember Ryouma forming a planet sized axe made of getter energy or "evolving" enemies until they explode in the manga.
>I mean, I don't know how the ability to swallow a nuke could be considered anything other than magic.
Getter energy, by that point, was already established to have the ability to absorb matter. Of course if you want to say that's unrealistic, then I point to every giant robot in every mecha series ever. The ovas are inconsistent and have no defined traits, thus it's magic. The manga has getter energy very well defined.
Again, it would be nice if you had an actual point to make rather than just flimsy attacks on the manga that is completely unsupported by anything. You could try to disprove the points made in the archive post that hurt your feelings by using actual proof from the manga. That would be intelligent.

Not even Ishikawa knew what Getter Rays were, he would always come up with new bullshit ways to explains it every time, usually contradicting himself in the process. Anime adaptations are better without it.
>>14082615
>usually contradicting himself in the process
Examples?
For all that "Ryoma is actually the Majuu Sensen dude" shitposting, Shinichi turned out to be... nothing, really. Just a vindictive psychopath who got screwed over by virtue of having a terrible father. Even while Imagawa had the reins Ryoma wasn't as singleminded, I doubt Shinichi would agree to make a truce with Genzo so they can fight alien demon dinosaurs.
I do like how he's called Shinichi and his asshole dad's called Genzo. I've heard the similarity with Eva is coincidental but it's still pretty interesting.
>>14082699
>I doubt Shinichi would agree to make a truce with Genzo
Are you comparing that with Ryouma making a truce with Saotome or Hayato? There's a difference between making up after an invader plot breaks up your team and forgiving your dad who murdered your mother for his furry experiments
Happy birthday, Getter. Hopefully one day your fanbase will no longer be plagued be retards who can't even decide what parts of the series are or aren't good, and recurrent shitposters like >>14082615
>>14081341
I'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume they think New Getter's Ryoma is indicative of all of them
>>14088399
Damn, more dubs.
And even then New getter Ryoma isn't that awful either.
>>14082642
Think he's talking about how it they could be benevolent or malevolent.

>>14081724
There are two types of people in this world.

>>14095488
Also a reissue of the apparently amazing getter figures they put out
I just finished Arc.
God damn it. I knew it was coming but still, god damn.
Sentinel's black getter is getting reissued. They were selling for over 15k before, so now is the time to buy one.

This voice is why I can never accept Armageddon Ryouma.
I need that 70's classic hot blood in my system that Armageddon just...lacks.
>>14116068
>>14116077
That doesn't sound like Armageddon Ryoma at all
>>14116097
that's what I meant. listen to that Glorious 70's hotblood. look at fucking Alpha 3 or Advance Portable. THAT is hotblood.
then move to Z2 or OE. Armageddon Ryouma simply lacks that classic hot-blooded feeling.
>>14116089
>>14116121
Unfortunately Kamiya can't reprise the role anymore, since his voice is getting sore.
>>14095488
That face.
>>14116164
it truly is a shame. he was a god among men, though like Bright, I do firmly believe that a replacement for THAT Ryouma (and like 100 other roles) can be found if they try hard enough and are stingy enough.
>>14116169
Ishikawa Ideo is Kamiya's personally trained student.
So I was thinking about where the name "getter" comes from the other day?
I came to the conclusion that maybe it was a shortened version of an engrish pronunciation of "together". Since the robot is about combining, they probably brainstormed English words that meant "become one".
>together
>"toogetterru"
>too-getter-ru
And then you just take the "getter" part out. Makes sense yeah?
>>14116179
...who? the guy who's doing Al Van in OG Moon Dwellers?
a brief google-fu lead me there, so I may have found the wrong guy.
>>14081341
...And this pretty much sums up my reading experience, as well. Ryoma had some off points, but he's nowhere NEAR the concentrated crazy that is Hayato Jin. This misconceptions is especially apparent with Armageddon Ryouma, whom is the most popular and is the most often considered "batshit Ryouma". All things considered, he's pretty down to Earth.

Off-topic, but seeing these posts makes me miss the Toei Robot Girls comic strips, where the cast was made up of a B-lister and two Z-listers, and it felt like an odd Japanese take on a Western-style comic strip rather than a fanservice vehicle (Though I do appreciate the slapstick of the animated cartoons)
>>14116198
No. Getter comes from the term Goal Getter. That's why its face is like a soccer ball. Not a joke. Also Gore = Goal.
>>14116204
That's him. He is the new Ryoma.
>>14116315
This sounds so stupidly plausible that I honestly can't tell if you're joking or not. I have a hard time believing you made that up though, considering how absurd it sounds.
>>14116484
It's the truth. There are sources, but I'm too lazy to post them this second. You can probably find the info using the archive, anyway.

I know Armageddon is popular... hell, I love it.
But this has to be the most inappropriate outfit to make into an action figure. He hardly does any ass kicking on foot in that outfit and the whole things just a visual callback to Maju Sensen. Hardly represents Getter or Ryoma.
I hope they at least make one of him in his pilot uniform.
