Now for my explanation of Shin Getter.
SGR is unintentionally weird.
**Spoilers, but don't worry. No one would understand this in the first place, so read on**
Basically, you'd think you had missed a story arc when watching this (Though you haven't).
Ryoma is in prison fot killing Dr. Saotome, creator of the Getters (And who is apparently still alive, and was not killed by Ryoma).
Saotome shows up with some tube with someone growing in it.
They set Ryoma free and give him Getter One to go kill Saotome.
Whereupon Ryoma fights over a thousand other robots (at the same time).
Eventually, they form into a big shape, and that guy in the tube jumps out and starts screaming "Change Shin Getter Dragon!!!"
More random people show up and fight "Invaders", who all die horrible deaths.
A lot of screaming. Every attack is announced.
Saotome builds Shin Getter Robo, and the three characters take it out to stop a bomb that is heading for earth. And they screw up and Earth explodes. In the third episode, of 13. That's barely what's going on.
Go forward, 13 years later. Earth is still there, but 99% of the population was destroyed.
"Go", the guy in the tube, hasn't aged for some inexplicable reason.
He meets Kei and some other random people, and of course they take Shin Getter to go fight Invaders and Shin Dragon.
Saotome and two other scientists (who, mind you, were riding on the bomb that hit earth) are trying to make Shin Dragon evolve.
They go into another dimension, which ends up being antarctica(sp).
At some point, Ryoma shows back up (un-aged).
The explanation is that when the bomb hit earth, it opened up a time portal sending Ryoma into the future on the moon inside an abandonned Getter Robo. He rebuilds it, flies to earth and starts punching buildings for no reason. O_O
More and more gorey fighting.
Now they find out that Saotome "did it all for them"...which makes zero sense.
Go and Kei and some other guy try to use Shin Dragon, who is apparently good now???
Ryoma, Hayato(the guy who supposedly kills Saotome), and another random guy take Shin Getter and fly into space where they fight random Invaders.
Jupiter sucks in moons and other planets.
So, they fly inside one of the moons to destroy it for...why???
They're knocked back to earth.
All of the sudden Shin Dragon is good, and they fly back over to Jupiter. Instead of flying there, they shoot out their lasers, which somehow makes a portal.
The two other scientists end up being inside Jupiter.
So after a few minutes of exposition (which, suprise suprise, makes no sense at all) about how Getter Rays made dinosaurs evolve. Except it killed the dinosaurs. What? X_X
Now, they do something that I can't ever understand. "Unite our hearts as one."
"Focus your energy to Shin Getter!"
And Ryoma in Shin Getter CUTS JUPITER IN HALF . X_O
To make matter worse, a giant mouth opens up in space, and out of nowhere they use something called a "Shine Spark" to fly into it, where they're met by giant flying head things.
Then some of the other characters are standing.
THE END (Is anyone going to bother to read that?)
I love that. So...bad...good....bagood. At least the animation is really really nice.
