New Getter Robo
Alt titles: Shin Getter Robo
Synopsis:
Humanity is under attack by the Oni - fierce demons of unknown origin - that can only be defeated by Dr. Saotome's Getter Ray-powered robots. However, these robots are only a stopgap, buying time for the next generation of Getter-powered robot: Getter Robo. Able to change shape into three combinations to suit the current task, and vastly more powerful than its predecessors, Getter Robo requires three pilots to fully utilize it. Dr. Saotome selects three interesting individuals for the task: Ryoma Nagare, a headstrong martial artist; Hayato Jin, a power hungry terrorist; and Benkei Musashibou, a bear of a man who has turned to the way of Buddha. Together, these oddly-matched teammates must find out where the Oni come from and stop the threat that they pose.

add recGUTS! A cry that rings out in many an anime series, signifying a characters will to never give up, never surrender. Often, this cry results in a burst of energy, allowing the protagonist to fight on, despite their injuries. New Getter Robo and Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann are both series which feature this cry, giant robots, and evil beast like creatures trying to exterminate mankind. If you enjoyed one, you should definately check out the other.
Never give up that is the moto of these series. Both give you that rush of adrenaline as gaints robots face off without fear and nop holds barred attitudes, couple that with the characters that just exude bad-ass this is defaintly series that are worth looking at if you like the other.
Kotetsushin Jeeg
- TV (13 eps)
- 1997
The year is 2025. Fifty years ago, Queen Himika and the evil Jama Empire attacked mankind; Kyushu, Japan, was their battleground. Ultimately an event caused fog to surround Kyushu, effectively cutting it off from the rest of Japan; and the mainland has lost contact with it ever since. In the present, students like the motorcycle-loving Kenji Kusanagi have little knowledge of these events, except what they learn in history books. However, when Himika and her Phantom Gods appear once more, Kenji finds himself in the middle of the battle - and a cockpit. Now, as the pilot of the mecha Jeeg, Kenji and a few unlikely classmates must battle the forces of evil and save the world!

Mazinkaiser
Dr. Hell and Baron Asura are once again trying to destroy Japan! As mechanical beasts lay waste to all in their path, Kouji Kabuto and Tetsuya Tsurugi rush out to face them with the mighty robots Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger; but it’s soon clear that they’ve walked right into a trap – ending with the defeat of Mazinger Z. Great Mazinger is outnumbered and all appears lost; that is, until a new and mysterious robot arrives and destroys Asura’s army with ease! Its name is Mazinkaiser, and it’s a machine with enough power to surpass both God and the Devil, to control the world or utterly destroy it. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, can Kouji master the power of Mazinkaiser in time to stop Dr. Hell's latest bid for world domination?

add recNew Getter Robo and Mazinkaiser are basically revisions of two older series by the same person (Go Nagai). Darker and grittier than their predescessors, they target a much more mature audience. Filled with violence, giant robot fighting, and pilots trying to prove they are the best while saving the world; there is no question that if you enjoy one, you will enjoy the other.
