Talk:Getter Robo

message: Because so many complex divergent lines of story exist built on the getter ray mythos, it would be far better to have a Getter Robo article which covered them all broadly, and then dedicated different sections to different universes (manga, anime, the reboot, the further generations, the radio drama + OVA series, etc).  The way that this article mentions the first series prominently and then poorly describes a few others leaves it too weighty at the top and wanting for info at the bottom.
Here is my proposed structure:
Getter Robo (an anime, a manga, the original series)
Getter Robo G (an anime, a manga, a sequel)
Getter Robo Go (an anime, a manga, another sequel)
Shin Getter Robo (an anime OVA series, a sequel to an audio drama series in an alternate universe)
Shin vs Neo Getter Robo (an anime OVA series, a reimagining of Getter Robo Go in an alternate universe)
New Getter Robo (an anime OVA series, a standalone complete reboot of Getter Robo)
Getter Ark (a manga series, a sci-fi future starring a new getter and Ryoma's son)
Getter Robo Hien (a manga, unknown relation to other universes, Hayato appears as an older adult)  
Video Games

thread_title: A Better Article Structure

message: According to the Japanese Getter Robo page, the weights of the three forms are noted as being 220t, 200t and 250t for Getter 1, 2 and 3 respectively. It also notes that while the weights should be all the same since they're made from the same machines, they are in fact not. Earlier reference in the page point out that when the concept of the anime was still in planning, the initial idea was more transformation-based than the realistic mechanical-changing system that it turned out to be; which might be a possible reason. The English wiki page, however, simply states these weights as all 220t. Could someone clarify the matter? --White Requiem 13:02, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think the weights are relevant enough to put in the article. This isn't a fanpage. Kouban 03:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Machine Weights

message: The article talks a lot about the production history and such of the Getter Robo franchise but is awfully lacking in terms of the description of the original series itself and its characters. I'll do what I can to clear that up, but I'm surprised nobody else noticed before now. Gladrius 21:39, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Characters

message: Is there any point in adding a list of the Japanese episode titles to the page? As far as I know, no summaries exist, but I'm working on some summaries which I could potentially submit at a later date, but my writing style leaves a lot to be desired. I guess someone else with a more than elementary command of Japanese could translate the titles, if I posted them, but I wouldn't want to inflict my efforts on the world. ^_^;; 
I'd rather just post the info I have to the talk page and let someone else handle the editing, if that's OK. I'm motivated by a desire to get the information into Wikipedia, but I don't actually enjoy editing pages myself. -- Soluzar 11:56, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of episodes 

message: To the best of my knowledge, Shin Getter Robo: The Last Day isn't a sequel to the original, but to the radio Drama (and possible manga series) 'The Moon Wars'. The opening of the series seems to bear this out (it recaps in fighting aliens from the moon, and shows 3 fully combined Getter Robo - there was only ever one Getter in the original TV series.--Gunbuster 09:05, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That's correct as far as I know; the 'recap' at the beginning of the first episode is in complete conflict with the Getter Robo TV series in pretty much every particular, including an origin for the Getter robots that doesn't mention the TV series' conflicts. It's definitely an alternate-universe story. I don't have any firsthand knowledge of 'The Moon Wars,' so I'll leave that detail for someone else. I also changed the parts about 'conflicts' between the OVA and TV series plots, since it's hard to consider them changes if it's not even pretending to be the same continuity. --ShaleZero 00:54, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Errors in the section on Shin Getter Robo? 

message: The current plot summary is plagarized from the summary at http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3868 - which I wrote, incidentally. I don't mind the lift much, but it doesn't fit at all with the tone of an encyclopedic article, so I'm rewriting it. --ShaleZero 17:52, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Getter Robo 

message: As it currently stands, this article has a bit of misplaced information regarding Getter's treatment in America and other countries. I think a discrete section should be created for this information. Kouban 02:32, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't think the New Getter Robo article should be merged into this article. Perhaps if there were an article covering the various Shin Getter OVAs, it would fit there. Kouban (talk) 19:27, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It makes no sense merge the OVA series articles and the anime\manga articles, they are different things. Still, the New Getter article needs some love Sirtao (talk) 23:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Our MOS calls for them to be covered in one article unless the OVA is significantly different from the anime/manga. AnmaFinotera (talk) 01:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The OVA series of Getter ARE significantly different from the anime and the manga. Sirtao (talk) 20:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Shouldn't be merged, as the OVAs are very different. I really wish people wouldn't try to edit articles about things they know nothing about. Considering the length of time and the consensus here, I'm removing the merge notice. 146.201.133.75 (talk) 23:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

message: As far as I know, the official spelling is RoboT, as seen in Getter Hien logo. Therefore we should use that spelling. Sirtao (talk) 21:35, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there any official website for this manga, so that the question of which is the correct reading of the title can be put to rest? Kouban (talk) 22:13, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=6439 The cover can be seen here. As you can see, the sanskrit symbol āḥ is clearly on the cover. The Japanese write it as アーク but it is not pronounced as such.

message: The article states that DASH will start in July 2008.  Apart from the obviously correcting this to past tense can anyone confirm this date?  I thought the first chapter was in the September Issue of Magazine Z which would have been released in August.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.105.48 (talk) 00:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
