Been playing SRW Alpha 2 and it's got me in the mood for some super robot anime, so what should I be watching and how do I get it? I'm not interested in the more serious anime like gundam, but the more fantastic stuff like Manigzer.

Updated when I can... which isn't very often. ^_^;;

Jeeg... if you can find it! As a question, do you care if it's fansubbed or not?

I don't care if fansubbed or commerical.
I didn't like Godannar at all.

The "new" classic super robot series are Shin Getter Robo, both the old 13-episode ova from the 90's (released in the US) and the new one (same name, but the kanji for "Shin" changes) that's coming out these days and is around on torrents. There's also a four ova series named Shin Getter vs Neo Getter. Keep in mind, these aren't related to each other and don't follow a continuity.

Also, Mazinkaiser is a way cool retelling of the Mazinger story, and is divided in both a 6-ova series (relased in the US) and a movie that was fansubbed (Mazinkaiser - Shitou! Ankoku Daishougun).

Both mechas make appearances in Alpha 2 so you should be familiar with the casts.

I got it like half a year ago from bittorrent but it's been down fo a while. You best bet is to try on IRC or WinMX, or any other P2P software.

I have the Mazinkaiser Shitou! movie, but it isn't fansubbed, I don't think... And Ammadeau, if you're interested in any classic series, I guess I could toss some your way. You use AIM? They're all pretty much "raw", though...

If it's not too much trouble, my AIM screen name is Ammadeau. I'm interested in the classics even if they're untransated. They don't usually have a super deep plot so I can usually figure out what's going on.

I have Shin Getter Robo, the older one, but it's a bit darker than what I want to watch, even though the action is great.

Edit: Just finished watching the first ep of the original Getter Robo series. The animation isn't as good as newer anime obviously, but the show was great, way better than I remembered. I wish I could get the series subbed on DVD since I'm sure the version I watched as a kid was edited all over the place.

If you don't like darker series tahn stay away from the new Shin Getter series as well,it's quite dark and very very gory.

As far as classic series go, if you can get your hands on HK DVD's, UFO Robo Grendizer is by far my favorite. A very interesting main character (different from the usual "hot blooded" Ryoma/Koji/Tetsuya we're used to), a great cast, and a very nice storyline. Very worth checking.

There's Giant Robo as well, a great OVA series that homages classics like Tetsujin 28.

Voltes V & Tosho Daimos (both from alpha 2) have a US 'compilation picture'; if you look hard enough you could find them.... In bith cases the series where broadcasted on the US and should be possible to find.

Giant Robo is an excellent 6 part Ova, it also has a precuel of 2 or so Ovas, check it out. Available on the US. (from SRW alpha)

Top o narae (? ;P) or 'Aim for the top, Gunbuster) it's also a neat show with a lot of twist -> start as a parody, then is fan service, then is violence with fan service and so on; it's a really fresh show that I recomend... It comes in either 6 short ovas or 3 long ones. (from SRW alpha)

God Mars it has a US release (as one of the voltron series) AND is being fansubbed), he is on a GBA SRW (Destiny was it??); here is the link.

A Go shogun movie can also be found lurking over there; it's a post story movie that re-tells events of the story on a different perspective.... It's only storyline, no Go shogun.

Rugal - Thanks for the files. I'm still in the middle of watching the intro video. I thought so many intros would be boring, but actually it's great. There are way, way many more of these shows than I ever imagined and you were right about the gold lighter one... wtf were they thinking? ;p

Rid - Any online stores that carry shady HK DVDs such as that? They're all region right? I can watch US or Japanese region DVDs. Oh, I've seen Giant Robo and loved it, except for the ending which was kinda stupid, imo. I thought it was better in Alpha, especially mixing it up with EVA. Crazy stuff.

Toxico - Holy crap, thanks for the links. I'll definitely check those out soon. I'm interested in most of them. :)

http://www.import-anime.com / .... It's expensive, but it's secure.... The region is shown in the reviews of the DVDs.

For the record I'm also insterested in the files that Rugal offered.... What are they actually?? trailers?? chapters?? I'm curious now XD

HK DVDs are the way to go for Super Robot shows. Import ANimeis alright for a review site, but there selection is lacking. I suggest these two sites:
-www.695anime.com has everything for $6.95. Pity I didn't see this topic sooner, because they were having a sale that ended yesterday where everything was 5.95 a disc! Anyways, shipping is pretty cheap. It's 2.30 a disc, but caps off at I $10.00, so buy alot!
-www.getterdome.com I use if the above site doesn't have what I want. Shipping can be a little more expenisve here though. I mostly use this site to see the new titles that are out.
Also, go to www.arcticnightfall.com if you have any questions about any HK DVDs. It's the biggest forum for HK DVDs (make sure you get the right section).

Bah. Doesn't anyone buy anything anymore? Anyhow, my 100% legal recommendations are:

Machine Robo
Dancougar(though, I think it may be out of print, so you may have to wait for a DVD release)
Mobile Fighter G Gundam(one of my personal favorites, and absolutely nothing like any other Gundam, I assure you)

And...hm. The only other super robot show I know you can buy on subtitled DVD is Shin Getter Robo, and you've already seen that. I understand Bandai has the rights Giant Gorg and SPT Layzner, though I don't know what they're doing with them. Also, Media Blasters just grabbed the rights to Giant Robo, so keep an eye out for a DVD of that. I'd also recommend GaoGaiGar, but that's not licensed, and I couldn't tell you where to get fansubs. Obscenely expensive model kits and action figures, yes, but not fansubs.

I also recommend Macross and Aura Battler Dunbine, but they may be too real robot for your taste.

Finally, someone else recommended Mazinkaiser, so I thought I'd direct you to it.

Feel like a treasure game on a rainy day.

Heh, already at 30% I'm little short on cash for DVDs since I just ordered the Gigantor game, so it's like someone answered by super robot prayers. :)

Just finished watching it. Great stuff. Really enjoyed it, especially Kouji trying and utterly failing to control Mazinger Z. I couldn't stop laughing at that.

Reminds me, did you check out that Mazinger Z vs. Ankoku Daishogun movie? (And are you interested in any more of the specials?)

Yep, now those were some crazy monster designs. I liked how the Mazinger Z got the crap kicked out of it and kept on fighting, but I thought the newer mech could have standing to get a little dirty. Even enjoyed the non-fighting moments since they were fairly easy to follow.

As I said over AIM, I'm up for anything more. Everything I've watched so far has been great.
