Humanity is under attack by demonic creatures called Oni. Unable to fight back by any other means, the scientist Dr. Saotome creates a series of giant robots that harness the mysterious power of Getter Rays, giving them the strength necessary to fight the Oni. The strongest of these is Getter Robo, and Saotome must enlist three very different men to pilot it - martial artist Ryoma Nagare, criminal leader Hayato Jin, and monk Benkei Musashibou. Together, the Getter Team fights to end the Oni menace forever.

New Getter Robo appears to be some sort of spinoff to the 1970s mecha series from Go Nagai from what I gather. My last exposure to the franchise was with Getter Robo Armageddon from two years ago. But whereas that series was plot-focused, this one appears to revel more in spectacle as it dabbles into the classic tropes of "super robot" anime with Ryoma and his allies dealing with the Oni threat. There is some plot that explores the origins of the Oni and what is drawing them to combat the crew of the Getter Robo. But this is window dressing to a large degree as New Getter Robo revels more in its super robot tropes with its hot-blooded male characters, ridiculously powerful enemy threats, and the Getter Robo able to draw upon new boosts of power to combat the Oni. Getter Robo and super robot anime fans are likely to dabble into this series the most with how much this series caters to them.
