Professor Tachibana heads out to Germany to enlist a German soldier, Schlöndorff, 
as the 4th Getter pilot. However, during his flight, Rasetsu seizes this opportunity to take down both Tachibana and Schlöndorff by attacking the German airport where Tachibana is scheduled to land and where Schlöndorff is stationed. The Getter crew head to Germany to battle the Metal Beast sent by Rasetsu, but unfortunately for Sho, she doesn't seem to blend together well with Schlöndorff...

(Gonna be taking a short hiatus from this project so I can focus on finishing some JP movies that I've had in the pipeline for a while now. I hope to resume this in late October. Stay tuned!)

The Getter crew track him down in order to talk some sense into him, but Randou intends to convince the captain to join his side instead...

Bari Bari Densetsu - Episode 2

Continuing off from Episode 1, here's Episode 2 of the 80s Bari Bari Densetsu OVA. Here, Gun & Hideyoshi reluctantly collaborate with each other at the request of Miyuki for the purpose of participating in their first professional motorcycling racing event.

I don't dislike the first episode by any means...but something I neglected to mention when I wrote the post for it was that you could easily tell that the OVA was just simply a compilation of multiple random(?) manga chapters re-purposed into a single OVA. As a result, to me at least, there isn't really a clear plot to Episode 1. Not that this is a bad thing, as I've actually subbed similar material myself before—it just simply threw off my expectations is all. BC of it, I don't feel strongly about Ep. 1. How I feel about this kind of storytelling really depends on my mood and how interested I am in the title itself.

Episode 2, on the other hand? HUGE improvement over Episode 1. It's got better BGM, a more interesting storyline to go along with it—heck, I don't even want to spoil anything cause it would ruin the excitement otherwise but the first 5 min of the OVA instantly caught my attention and had me wondering throughout the rest of the OVA how it would conclude.

It is also for this reason that I'm damn well disappointed that there were no further plans to continue the OVA beyond this point. All that was released after was a compilation movie...and that's it.

There's a good chance that this could get a new anime adaptation someday, which I'd happily watch, but it very likely won't have the same feels as the 80s OVAs have. It is what it is...

Anyways, some final notes: a VHD rip was used for Episode 1 but we've changed video sources this time. An SDBD for this was released in Japan a few months ago and, shockingly enough, is in much higher quality than anything that's been released previously. So, what you see here in this episode is sourced directly from that SDBD.

After Randou reveals to his minions that the Getter Robo's weakest form is the marine form, the Baron Yasha brothers attempt to lure out Getter Robo once again by designing a new Metal Beast that ambushes & attacks tankers headed straight for Japan. However, Gou's Getter One gets damaged while fighting and results in a malfunction that introduces a small chance of all Getter pilots exploding during the combination process...

Will they succeed?
(Judging by the above screenshot, seems like they did :^)

Rasetsu, using her powers, summons a Metal Beast back from hell which the Getter Robo team had previously defeated some episodes ago—additionally, she curses Sho at the same time and places her in a very weakened state, all while the revived Metal Beast prepares to attack Big NISAR.

Despite her condition, Sho heads out anyways in her Getter Two alongside Gou & Gai to fight against this new enemy—meanwhile, she sees a certain someone in a vision of sorts whom she hasn't seen in quite a while...
