Ichirou Mizuki has passed away at age 74. Guy is a legend of the anime theme song space. Founded Jam Project, one of my all favorite bands of all time, and is one of those voices that's beyond iconic. Rest in Peace king.
Here are a just a few of his songs. If you like mecha anime at all this guy probably did at least one of your favorite openings.

The only new series I want in Super Robot Wars.
I can already imagine Arc is getting in and likely with Devolution. Anime Ultraman as well. And Dynazenon is probably a guarantee.
But I want Jet Jaguar to punch Char in the throat before choke slamming Eva 01 while Kamen Rider W lives up to tradition and rider kicks a fascist mech to death. Sorry I mean Zeon/Federation mech.
And this is our only chance for Jet Jaguar and Ultraman to have a PROPER crossover and not a bad sports game.

I wish there was good documentation for American capsule machines/gachapon. I would do ANYTHING to find more info about the Super Robot Wars one (possibly a bootleg or extremely unlikely import?) I found in a Winn Dixie in the very early 00's.
The only pieces I still have from it are an SD Mazinkaiser and a Huckebein. I also remember having what I THINK was a Bigro with a removable plastic casing, and a keshi interior.

What's the Ryu Number for the Huckbein or Huckbein MK2 from Super Robot Wars OG?
Mechas generally cannot have Ryu Numbers on account of being piloted.
Ring Mao, however, has a Ryu Number of 2.

More SUPAH ROBOT WAHS OG bay-beeeeee! Always a good day when I get to build another of Banpresto’s OG machines, and here we have their most infamous; the Huckebein! Okay technically the Mk-II but who cares. Famously Banpresto actually got legally leaned on by Sunrise, the owners of Gundam, for the huckie designs being too close to the gundams and Banpresto actually had all the hucks destroyed in the fiction of their story, replaced with new mechs that weren’t as close to gundams. But that tension has clearly... cleared up, over the years, as the hucks have returned in SRW games, and... well this model kit!
I was worried at first that the huckie might actually just be a HG gundam, and therefore not in scale with its OG model kit siblings (the Altiesen, Gespenst, and Cybuster so far), but while it IS the smallest of the kits so far, it is bigger then a standard HG gundam and doesn’t look out of scale to its brethren.
I feel like a broken record these days talking about how great Bandai’s modern kits are but... they just ARE, holy smokes, they so geeewwwd. It’s solid, it’s color accurate, it’s poseable, it looks great! I dunno what more to tell people, if you like the design, and you like the building hobby, just get it! What I have to say about older kits and non-Bandai stuff is likely to be the only truly meaningful critique I can give at this point.
Well okay and the RG GaoGaiGar cuz I was very disappointed with how many issues that guy has...
More shots under the cut!

The cool thing about Getter Robo is that you think its just an edgier super robot series where the power of courage or friendship or whatever is replaced by a sort of manic will to win as expressed by the Getter Rays as the fun scifi power source. But then you Learn.
You learn that the Getter has a will. You learn that it has an agenda. You learn that it handpicked the human race to have Getter Robos because Gettet Robos are essentially its avatars, physical manifestations of its will. You learn its a the power of evolution, and yet it wiped out the dinosaurs and harms the Dinosaur Empire. Why? Because they were in the way of the development of its preferred symbiote species, homo sapiens.
And then you see it. Getter Emperor. You see it destroying worlds. Creating innumerable clones of its favorite humans to serve it beyond death. You see it in a genocidal war to wipe out all non-human life in the cosmos, a war so terrible they start using time travel to try and strangle this horrific monster in the crib. And they fail. Nothing can stop the Getter.
"Believe in the Getter" is a phrase that sends a chill down my spine because I know what its all in service to. Believe in a God that will one day make you an instrument of ultimate genocide. Believe in a God that promises the survival of the human race right up until its completed its mission to obliterate all other life. Then it kills the universe and moves on to a new universe where it repeats the cycle.
Its a really effective cosmic horror in my opinion. An inversion of the usual super robot ethos of heroic conquest of evil. Sure the villains are pretty awful. The Dinosaur Empire has a fucking war crime lab where they test biological weapons on a human zoo. But does that make them worthy of extermination? Does it make the cosmos worthy of extermination? If the choice is between the continuation of the human race at the cost of all else, is it right to fight to preserve the human race? Is it even a choice? Or has the Getter already got its grip in too deep by the time Saotome builds that first Getter Robo?
Anyway read the Getter Robo manga. Its really good except for the one section where there's a really racist guy and a character who's entire personality is "predatory lesbian" but they don't stick around too long.
