Is the Getter Robo Saga the closest mecha has to offer as an art? The avant garde styling of both the characters and the machines seems to be something that the mechanical and character designers of today seem to avoid entirely.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a case of Saga being something of a pinnacle in both Japanese art and Japanese story telling. The themes of evolution as well as strength through conflict seem so common and reoccurrent that I can't help but see it as not only a classic piece of mecha history, but as a piece of art to the world.
Why is it that NOTHING has come close to matching the quality of Saga's art and story telling? Is the mediocrity of today's Japanese artist because of their blatant lack of skill, or is Ishikawa just among the greatest storytellers of the world?
