Personal Opinions
Spidder
Much darker than the "sanitized" Getta Robo series of old, to bring it closer to the original manga. True to the genre, it's full of gritty manliness and Gaogaigar levels of awesomeness towards the end. The plot doesn't make much sense, but that is to be expected when you deal with robots so powerful they fuck with space/time. Great art syle that uses rough lines as an homage to Go Nagai's original manga. 4/5
Eggn0g
I'd just like to point out that everything in the main description (and much more) happens in the four episodes of the series. If you're new to Getter Robo, then you'll be better off watching New Getter Robo as an introduction to the series. For people who are already familier with Getter then you should know what to expect - a dark, gritty world, large amounts of silliness, fighting and hotblooded passion. The story rarely makes sense (especially in the beginning), but this isn't why you're watching Getter Robo Armageddon - you're watching it to see giant robots beat the shit out of giant aliens or other giant robots, all of which will either bleed or explode when destroyed, maybe even both at the same time. If this puts you off, then this isn't the show for you.
