Age is nothing to do with my problems with this show, my problems is the show has no logic, not even an internal one, Domon is so hax every fight becomes a chore and most of the mech designs are really boring and a lot of the more interesting designs have gone out in seconds.

So what episode am I meant to watch this until?

Episode 12, like someone else suggested. I could've sworn the Shinjuku arc started later than that. That first batch of episodes really does drag to the point that it feels as if the actual story starts much later than it does.

G Gundam goes like this:
1-11: Introduction arc
12-17: Shinjuku arc
18-24: Guyana Highlands arc
25-onwards: Hong Kong Finals, the best part of the show.

The Introduction and Guyana Highlands arc both drag in places. That Introduction might feel like a ton of filler, but a lot of it starts adding up later. The Shinjuku arc is a lot more like a normal Gundam show.

Btw, which Giant Robo? If you mean the OVA "The Day the Earth Stood Still," it has the same director as G Gundam.

But as far as Super Robots go, my first love is and has always been Grendizer. Followed by Gordian but my memories of that show are hazy as hell. Might need to look it up.

Yeah, Shin/Armageddon is not the best place to start in Getter Robo (I know because I started there). It's a majorly screwed up what if sequel made in the time of edgy reimaginings...and it's fucking awesome.

Never been able to bring myself to watch the original though. 70's anime just doesn't agree with me most of the time. I'm opting for New Getter Robo this time around.
