Super Robot Discussion?

[DragoMaster009]

So, what's this forum's policy or ruling on discussing Super Robot shows, like say the new Getter Robo Arc anime that's out right now?

[AceWhatever]

Any anime or manga is discussable here within reason, not just mecha or sci-fi.

People on Mecha Talk have tended to gravitate toward discussing real robots mostly, but super robots have always been welcome here.

So is Getter Robo Arc Legally Streaming anywhere?

Quite a few places, actually. If you're only talking about EN streams there's bilibili global (I don't know if there's any region restrictions for this), AniOne for South/East/Southeast Asia, and HIDIVE/VRV for North America.

As someone with only passing familiarity with Getter Robo from SRW games, is it one continuous series or do they have reboots / alt universes / spin offs aplenty like Marzinger?

[Kuruni]

Most of animate series are in its own continuity. Some has referrence to original seies or manga, but none to other.

I am also not familiar with the franchise but at least one film has them out like independent parallel universes.

[Kuruni]

A bit of summary AFAIK.

Getter Go - Pretty much an completely new AU. Has nothing to does with the original series or manga.

Neo Getter - Take some plotline from both original manga (Musashi' death) and Getter Go manga (Hayato's injuries, and Ryoma quit piloting) but otherwise it's new continuity.

Shin Gettet Last Day - New contunuity, although Ishigawa wrote one extra chapter in Shin Getter manga as its prequel.

New Getter - Reboot.

Ah gotcha, thanks for the explanation. Does Getter Arc require watching a previous series to understand?

[Kuruni]

I doubt it.

Sounds good, I'll give it a watch but I'll probably wait till the season finishes.
