The Baron Yasha brothers devise a new plan to lure Getter Robo into a small mine with the purpose of challenging them to another fight. The problem? Getter Robo Go is unable to use its weapons due to the risk of destroying the mine and possibly burying themselves if they do so. All hope seems lost...until Gou remembers some pro-wrestling techniques that were introduced to him by Dr. Pochi's nephew, who visited Big NISAR earlier. Perhaps he can put them into use here?

Mini Yon Soldier Rin! (16mm 1080p HD Scan)

Mini Yon Soldier Rin  was released in 1989 on VHS only by some label I'm not familiar with—it later got re-issued by SEGA themselves. This OVA (which is the length of an average TV anime episode) tells the story of a kid champion of Mini 4WD races who, after winning a major competition, gets challenged by a psychic to race him in a life-size version of the race track used in the aforementioned competition. Hilarity ensues after. I couldn't find much info surrounding this OVA online. Take this with a grain of salt, as I don't remember where I got this from, but I think the OVA was produced to cash in on the Mini 4WD boom in Japan. Considering the OVA's obscurity, I don't think it was successful... I'm not into Mini 4WD racing all that much but I definitely think this could have benefited from a few se...

Tongari Boushi no Memole (1984)

Not too long after this anime finished broadcasting on TV (during its original run), Toei had created a 15-min compilation movie focusing on episodes 24 & 25 which they screened during their 1985 Manga Festival. I'm unsure if this was included on the Memole LD Memorial Box Set but this was eventually included in the show's DVD box set. The raw here was taken from a streaming web source—it's in HD, but unfortunately cropped to 16:9... There was a missed opportunity to get this 15-min compilation movie on 35mm a few months ago, which I now deeply regret. Anyways, enjoy!
