Getter Robo is the prototype to Evangelion and probably one of the most important mecha stories written. Pitting kids piloting a mech against monsters who seek the total elimination of humanity, Getter Robo pioneered some of the key elements of Evangelion. Some of the Getter Robo monsters seemed to resemble Angels (specifically Sachiel and Gaghiel) -- perhaps Anno and co. were inspired by Getter Robo for these Angels?
