I still want to read "The Fascism of Love and Fantasy"

Well, there's a manga called Getter Robo, which TTGL takes its cues from.
I don't expect people to know, but it's pretty famous in Japan.

TTGL is pretty great. But I'm such a big mecha fan that it just registers as "one great anime" and not as something genre defining.
I still think Gravion was better, anyhow.
Its pretty much just as over the top and revels in being a sendup of 80'-90's super robot shows
