Title: Not your average Starvenger...
Review: Getter Robo-Armageddon left my head spinning for several different reasons. I initially purchased this dvd because I had always loved the Starvengers segment of Force Five and was immediately drawn by the nostaligia factor. However, what I found was that there were only trace similarites between the old Force Five Five series and ADV's current release. The new Getter Robo series is extremely dark and disturbing and the story-line, at this point, is somewhat schizophrenic and difficult to follow. The action sequences are extremely intense, and if you are a mecha fan, it is really interesting to see the different generations of Getter mecha. The animation is not as sophisticated as Evangelion or Macross Plus, but it seems to work well. If you are looking for a simple anime with all questions answered, then Getter Robo is not for you. However, if you are willing to relinquish control and let the story unfold, then sit back, buckle-up, and enjoy the ride.
