Getter Robo: The Last Day of the World, Shin Getter Robo, New Getter Robo, Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo, Getter Robo Arc, Getter Robo Saga Source: https://www.animechrono.com/franchise/getter-robo Last updated: 2026-11-03 Last checked against current sources: 2026-11-03 AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special in chronological story order, mark optional entries, say where to start, and are maintained by signed-in fans with versioned edits that can be reverted (7 entries in this order). Where to start Getter Robo: begin with Getter Robo, episode 1 (1974), then Getter Robo G, for the classic; or start with the Change!! Getter Robo: Armageddon OVA (1998) for the modern take. This Getter Robo watch order groups the franchise by continuity. The Toei TV run is Getter Robo (Episodes 1-51) and its sequel Getter Robo G (Episodes 1-39). Getter Robo Go (Episodes 1-50) is a 1991 reboot with a new team and is optional. The OVAs do not continue the TV shows and do not share one timeline: Armageddon (Episodes 1-13) is a stand-alone apocalyptic story, Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo (Episodes 1-4) is an optional side continuity, and New Getter Robo (Episodes 1-13) retells the origin. Getter Robo Arc (Episodes 1-13, 2021) adapts Ken Ishikawa's final manga and stands on its own; the OVAs make good preparation. Release order is the same as this list. ## Recommended first watch Classic: Getter Robo (51 episodes), then Getter Robo G (39). Getter Robo Go is an optional reboot.
