An anime adaptation of Getter Robo Go was made in 1991 but has no relation to Ishikawa's manga aside from sharing the titular robot and pilots (who were very different in their personalities and backgrounds).

Discotek Media announced the North American license to the anime on March 13, 2012, and plans on releasing the series to DVD and Blu-ray.

[1] Neo Getter Robo is an alternate universe sequel to the original Getter Robo, in which the primary enemies were the Dinosaur Empire, the descendants of the few dinosaurs who survived extinction and hid deep below the Earth's surface, evolving into more humanoid forms.

When it becomes clear that he cannot stop them under his own power, Musashi crushes the Getter Core, causing an explosion that wipes out almost all of the Dinosaurs, as well as all of Manhattan Island.

Responding to the international outcry, the Japanese government banned Getter Energy research and took over Saotome Laboratories, subsidizing it as a self-defense branch called NISAR.

Hayato Jin Voiced by Naoya Uchida- The former pilot of Getter-2 and current commander of NISAR's operations.

He is typically flanked by a pair of assistants, one of whom looks like an older Shou (with a gray streak in her hair) and a large, powerfully-built man.

Professor Shikishima Voiced by Jōji Yanami- This creepy, odd-looking scientist has a large, bent screw sticking out of his head.

He is proud, confident, and very patriotic, developing a friendly rivalry with Gou as they assist each other in different crises.

Jack's Japanese is fairly poor, with strange emphasis, a heavy Texan accent, and a tendency to switch back to English mid-sentence.

Mary King Voiced by Chieko Atarashi- Jack's younger sister, she pilots Texas Mack's Hat Machine.

Unlike the main Getter anime continuity, Ryoma was captured by the Dinosaurs and horribly tortured, which left him with severe physical and mental scars during the battle of New York.

Michiru is Professor Saotome's daughter, who aided the Getter team by piloting the ship Lady Command.

General Bat Voiced by Norio Wakamoto- The commander of the Dinosaur Empire's military forces.

Though he typically oversees military operations from a distance, he personally leads the attack on Saotome Labs in episode 3, hoping to destroy Shin Getter Robo.

The blue primary form of Neo Getter, Getter-1 is best suited to ground combat and is piloted by Gou Ichimonji.

It is capable of flight, but can extend its range by riding Pasture King, a mechanical horse piloted by Jack's pet dog.

When the situation turns bad, Jack pulls out his "way too much high power man" cannon, which is stored in a giant coffin-shaped container.

Shin Getter most closely resembles the version from Super Robot Wars in both appearance and weapons.

The high-speed form of Shin Getter, it can fly briefly using its powerful engines and uses its speed to avoid enemy attacks.

In the anime, it defeats Emperor Gol in one punch; the Super Robot Wars series also gives God Getter Robo the Stoner Sunshine attack, possessed by other versions of Shin Getter Robo (Though this concession was lacking in Super Robot Wars GC).
