I'm disappointed that there's no good flyby shots of Getter Robo Black near the WTC - so I don't have a 
a second Getter Robo has struck the towers pic.
The ruins of NYC do get wrecked to take down some kaiju.
It's really funny that the artist who painted the statue of liberty seems to think it's made of solid rock or something. Tbf, I did too for some time, which made it way cooler than what it actually is.
It makes me think of the G Gundam episode where the Shining Gundam erupts from inside the Statue of Liberty lol.
I'm wondering what kinds of references were used when making some of this stuff. There's a few more NYC landmarks featured in this episode - I distinctly remember St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Flatiron building. This came out 1998-1999, so I'm guessing maybe some kind of tourist guide or stills from a film.
