Getter Robo
In the advent of Getter Robo Go's success, the influence and popularity of the original show continued in Japan, and it found a way to stay with fans through video games (like the "Super Robot Wars" game series, in which the Getter Robo is one of its lineup mainstays) and other merchandise. The series was even spoofed successfully in the mecha anime series "Martian Successor Nadesico", where the anime-within-anime "Gekiganger III" was a direct pun (and homage) to the Getter Robo legacy, among many other super robot series. "Gekiganger III" was the favorite show of the character Gai in "Martian Successor Nadesico". His voice actor, Tomokazu Seki, has also said that "Getter Robo" is his favorite anime.
