"Getters Gone Wild!"
 
   I figure this is the best place to ask this.

I can't keep track of the various Getter Robos anymore. Is this right?

Getter Robo: The original
Getter Robo G: The sequel (called Starvengers, stateside)
Getter Robo Armageddon: A side story that didn't go over well.
Shin Getter Robo: A retelling of the original series.
Neo Getter Robo: The enemies of the above.

but where does "New Getter Robo" aka "Shin Getter Robo 2004" fit in? Is it another restart?

(and how come nobody's ever done a Shin Grandizer, anyway?)

I think Getter Robo: Armageddon was the US title for Shin Getter Robo. The storyline kind of fits both of those criteria - it's a deeply confused sort-of-a-sequel to Getter Robo and Getter Robo G that takes bizarre liberties with the preceding material. There's a scene early in SGR in which Benkei, aka "Foul Tip" on Starvengers, chats about The Good Old Days on the Getter Team with Musashi, the guy who died at the end of the original series so Benkei could replace him. Musashi dies again later in SGR.

As for what the deal was with Shin Getter Robo vs. Neo Getter Robo, I have no idea, except that I'm told Musashi dies in it. I guess that's kind of the requirement to make it an official Getter Robo product.

   OK, I think I was getting "Shin Getter Robo" confused with "Getter Robo Go".

I still can't tell the various Getter-1's apart without a scorecard, tho :)

   Shin vs Neo, from what I've seen, seems to be more consistant with the first series. It BEGINS with Musashi's suicide manuver and then skips forward in time several years.

But it's not really a Neo Meets Shin show, though it DOES include both Neo Getter and Shin Getter in it.

(NB: I know jack-all about Getter Robo canon.)

A friend of mine and I wandered into a screening room at Anime Expo 2001 to watch some other show, and happened across a good chunk of Getter Robo: Armageddon. A good, loud, incoherent, WTF chunk of GRA.

My friend leaned across to me and sagely noted:

"Getter Robo: Armageddon was originally the creative work of Stanley Kubrick; however, upon the master's untimely death, the project was given to Steven Spielberg to complete."

I broke so hard I almost got thrown out of the video room. QED.

Wow. That's just beautiful.

(Whereas, if Spielberg had died and his new work had been given to Kubrick, the result would have been Shoujo Kakumei Utena. Now I have a way to explain SKU to people! Thanks!)

   Gryph pretty much nailed Getter Robo Amageddon down. I guess I'll add my two cents in. My understanding of the Japanese Langauge, there's two meanings to Shin, one means obivously New, the other meaning is True. GRA is really True Getter Robo. Also of fact True Getter Robo was an original creation of Banpresto as an upgrad for Getter Robo in Dai 4-ji Super Robot Taisen, also of note though MazinKaiser hasn't showed up yet that unit was originally a original upgrade to Kouji's Mazinger Z in Super Robot Taisen F Final.

   Shin Getter and Mazinkaiser seem to have more or less been adopted by Go Nagai after their appearances in SRW. I'm not sure of Neo Getter was also a Super Robot Wars creation, though.

Right he liked the designs enough that he went ahead and used them.

Actually Neo Getter was a Remake of Venger Robo Go Nagai's Alternative Retelling of the original Getter Robo, it was used as Go Getter Robo, and later used in a True Getter OVA as Neo Getter (from Neo Getter Tai Shin Getter)

Ah-ha, this helps to explain a comment I'd read elsewhere about some people considering Neo Tai Shin as the 'redemption' of the Getter Go designs.
