Because of this fact, I can’t help but call them as useful as Team Rocket in effectiveness against GoShogun and Good Thunder. They almost never work together and when they do, the generals never coordinate with each other at all.
GOSHOGUN ANIME PATCH
There is Bundle, the beauty obsessed male, Kutnal, the pirate looking one with an eye patch and has to take blood pressure medicine a lot, and Kernagul, the stupid gray looking human who likes beating up a robot when he gets angry, can’t even stand each other. On the other end of the pool, we have our three Docooga generals. I only wish that Shingo had more focus on him, because we don’t get to know him as much as the other two but that is ok. This is a crew that is stuck on a ship for years just for the sake of fighting one organization, of course there is going to be stress. There is some flirting that goes on between Remy and the other two during combat scenes, but that is shown to be talk that distracts them from the exhausting bouts of combat. They are a family unit that is solidified with how they take Kenta under their wing from time to time during each episode. On the Good Thunder crew, we have Remy, the attractive former French spy who is intelligent, energetic, and very independent, Killy, the tough and street-smart gangster from the Bronx, and Shingo, the stoic, stiff, but level-headed leader from Japan. The appearance of Kenta of the Good Thunder shows how different they are compared to the three generals on the Docooga side. GoShogun features a small cast of very well-developed and unique ones. The strongest aspect of this show for me were the characters. Oh well, onto the regularly scheduled character broadcast. Eh, maybe I am being a little too picky about this. A couple of character reveals and plot reveals seemed to have been pulled out of nowhere during the show’s last few episodes too. GoShogun has also made me question the origin of something like the “the gainax” ending too. Maybe the Good Thunder and GoShogun are operated by a mystical space energy called Beamler, but the only thing that GoShogun does with it is to have weapons teleported to it through Good Thunder’s main computer and shooting an energy shock wave from time to time. For one, the Goshogun never transforms or does anything beyond the boundary of believability. I have watched a few older super robot shows from the 1970’s, like Gai King, and GoShogun is a lot more grounded then those. I think this show was created around the time that the original Mobile Suit Gundam has taken its hold on the mecha genre. It’s just a lot of fun.īefore I dig into characters, I wanted to dig in on a few things. In the beginning of the show, the Good Thunder teleports around the world from place to place and deals with Docooga in a large variety of locations and scenarios. All those people ride on the white spaceship the Good Thunder. Fortunately, Kenta is taken in by an older, bald, and mysterious man named Captain Sabarath with his small crew of three misfits from society, who pilot the GoShogun, and Kenta’s robot mother/teacher named OVA. Kind of a dark start, right? Well Immediately afterward, Docooga targets his son Kenta Sanada. Instead of working for Docouga, he commits suicide with a bomb. After a science convention where Doctor Sanada discusses the concept of Beamler energy, which is important to the show, he is chased down and captured by Docooga forces. The plot itself starts with the death of the father of our main protagonist, Doctor Sanada. I don’t just mean offices, businesses, and countries, but also amusement parks, fast food chains, national parks, and I could keep going. On the surface, everything may seem normal, but deep underneath that a group called Docooga controls everything. GoShogun centers around a world where that has already been taken over. At least, not completely because it got me to watch it, right? I don’t think the box on this show really sells the show as much as it could. Partially because of its insane and ridiculous nature and partially because most of the characters are fun and interesting. Was buying and watching it worth it you may ask? Hell yes. It was a cheap blind buy for something that may only interest a few people, myself included. The reason I watched this at all was a combination of Righstuff’s sales and the way the show was described on their website. Circles that I am barely a part of myself.
Those aren’t really the talk of the town anymore except in certain anime circles. I mean, this is a super robot anime from the early 1980’s. Like many people of my age who started watching anime with Toonami, I have never heard about GoShogun.
