help Getter Robo: Armageddon FAQ
Why is Ryoma imprisoned at the beginning of Getter Robo: Armageddon?
Nagare Ryoma is blamed for the apparent murder of Dr. Saotome, leaving him bitter toward Jin Hayato and the Getter project. Saotome's return and the renewed Invader threat force Ryoma back into a conflict involving Shin Dragon and the Getter Rays.
Do I need to watch the original Getter Robo before Armageddon?
No. Getter Robo: Armageddon uses characters and machines created by Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa, but it takes place in its own continuity and begins as though an earlier Getter conflict already happened.
Why does Getter Robo: Armageddon change direction after episode 3?
Yasuhiro Imagawa directed the first three episodes before Jun Kawagoe took over for the remainder of the production. The shift is noticeable because the early murder mystery gives way to a larger post-apocalyptic war against the Invaders.
Is Getter Robo: Armageddon a television series or an OVA?
It is a 13-episode OVA released in Japan from 1998 to 1999. International releases commonly use the title Getter Robo: Armageddon, while the Japanese title translates as Change!! Getter Robo: The Last Day of the World.
