We'll more or less have Battletech in once Dougram finally gets the mainline call-up.

There are a fair few characters who would argue that Spiral Power isn't that much less evil than Getter Rays.

TTGL wasn’t even real. It was just a shared delusion given form in some higher plane of existence. Getter Emperor is real and it is coming to get you.

I think we've had SRWs that declared Getter Emperor as the Spiral Nemesis.

Siegkrow posted:Counterpoint: TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN Getter is one of the inspirations, yeah. But Getter Rays generally aren't evil, per se. (Unless you're reading Getter Robo Darkness, in which case, well, that kind of fuckup is on you, buddy.) They're just... the Getter. Sometimes appearing good (like in the end of Go), sometimes terrifying and monstrous (like with the destruction of the Saotome labs in Shin). And even the characters seem unsure about where they come down on this whole Getter issue. Similarly, spiral power isn't good or evil, but left unchecked it could destroy the universe. It's like assigning a moral value to fire.

Personally I never thought that Spiral Power ever seemed to have any kind of will or agency. It was an emergent property of life and while if unchecked and unmanaged would cause the world to end it never had the ability to make that happen itself. Getter Rays on the other hand seem to have some kind of will or agenda in many of the Getter media that I have seen which makes the catastrophic potential of it feel more sinister to me. Getter actively seems to want things to happen, and those desires often seem to be existentially horrifying or antagonistic to living a peaceful human life. Or non-human life given that Getter has a lot of non-human sapient peoples. Also the fact that Getter seems to have chosen humanity, or prefers it over other races makes it inherently hosed up.

Not as hosed up as the Ide at least.

Spiral Energy feels like something inherent to humans with strong wills (or living creatures, i should say, given viral and bonta) while Getter Rays seem entirely separate from humanity.

The latest Getter Robo Arc episode has humanity on a genocidal galactic holy war at Getter’s behest and it rules.

Ethiser posted:The latest Getter Robo Arc episode has humanity on a genocidal galactic holy war at Getter’s behest and it rules. Yeah, that's straight from the manga. Seeing a preview of that future made Ryoma swear off piloting the Getter for years, only returning when human extinction was on the line. I'm really curious how the anime's going to end this plot this month, because the manga never did. Ended on a cliffhanger.

They licensed the SD Gundam series, rather than the actual series (I believe because it's cheaper), and the SD Gundams all had pupils.

The only time SD Gundams are acceptable are with other Gundams for contrast. Preferably season 1 of 00, but that may just be because I want season 1 of 00 back.
