Another tribute about the super robot genre, this time featuring my absolute favourite, Getter Robo by Ken Ishikawa

I was experimenting about Ken Ishikawa styleand the various animated incarnations of Getter,at the time, so I went for the style of Shin/Armageddon. Still a blast to watch nowadays, especially the first three episodes. But I really have to do more about New Getter, a series that while short, became one of my most watched.

It's easy to be a Getter fan, it's just to awesome! Thank you so much for the comment and rating!

I agree, Getter Robo is amazing and Ken Ishikawa is truly one of the mangaka greats

gamaseven responds:

Couldn't agree more! My love of Getter truly blossomed trough the manga: while I loved Shin/Armageddon, the manga had such a scope, variety of themes and a whilwinf of actions and events that I couldn't stop reading it! I suggest to everyone to read the Shin Getter Robo manga: while you need knowledge of previus events, it's so full of badassery and really haunting moments that it's an absolute must read. For example, it has the episode that ispired the famous battle Shing Getter Robo Vs Invader Getter Robo G (the ova literally lifted some angles from the manga). The diffference is that in the manga

(spoiler)

it's Getter 1 vs Getter G. And too me it's even more badass because the team manages to shine using an older and less powerful Getter by their sheer pilot prowess and badassery! Just too cool!
Sorry for the long response, Getter always fires me up!
Thank you for the comment and rating!

YES YES YESYES YES getter robo is my favorite manga!!!

gamaseven responds:

Absolutely agree, it's my favourite too! It's awesomeness imbued in paper and ink!
Thank yous o much for the comment and rating!

The shading here is out of this world, especially on the jacket. Fantastic work!

gamaseven responds:

I'm relly happy you liked it! I usaully do a lot more of shading but this time I tried to limit myself to try and match smome of the visual cues form the OVAs. While i'm still far from grasping those aweome graphical ideas I'm glad to have achieved the mood and shading I was looking for!
Thank you so much for the comment and rating!

Always! It's one of those things I'll never stop believing in!
