Starvengers was one of my favorite anime early on. It was a lot better than Super Friends on Saturday mornings which I loved, but Starvengers has fared the test of time much better than Super Friends. These cartoons came out with Force Five, but I unfortunately did not see those cartoons. I will have to check those out. Maybe the OVAs have subtitles. It would be good to see the Getta Robos kick ass on the Pandemonium Empire again. Sure the bad guys were super cheesy, but it was still so much fun to watch.
Among Shogun Warriors robots this was my least favorite, but I am glad to have it to complete my set of Getta Robo robots. Probably just the color scheme on this one. The plastic has this odd yellowing I have never seen before. Odd, just noticed now I do not have the red missiles shown on the box.

Since I have the most of the Shogun Warriors, I can pop in a picture of them together for a group photo into this post later. Pop in a comment below and I will get to it a little quicker. ***
It’s cool that you have these complete and in the box – I just got them loose. I do have the Starvengers on tape somewhere…
The American dubs had 24 episodes that was not a complete run. There was a series before Starvengers Getter Robo. Starvengers was Getter Robo G. I am going to have to watch the Japanese version to see all the episodes.
I put some intros to the anime on the first 10-15 posts to give the robots more context. I did not want to search Youtube for Super Sentai stuff(because I really didn’t want to watch it), so you won’t see any video for those.
