If there’s one man who embodies the animated soul of Getter Robo, it’s Jun Kawagoe. An animation veteran, this director has helmed nearly every Getter Robo project produced in the past thirty years—from Getter Robo: Armageddon to Getter Robo Arc. However, Kawagoe isn’t a one-getter pony as he’s also lent his directorial talents to Cyborg 009 The Cyborg Soldier, Soreike! Anpanman, and a few Lupin the Third specials.
