A meteor strikes the Earth and is found to emanate a powerful new energy called Beamler, which is used to power a battle robot, GoShogun, and a teleporting fortress, Good Thunder. The Docougar Crime Syndicate, lead by crime lord Neo Neros, try to steal the secret of the energy from the inventor of GoShogun, but he kills himself rather than let them acquire it. His son is targeted by Neo Neros next, but he is taken in by the crew aboard Good Thunder, who travel the world fighting NeoNeros's forces with GoShogun.

70/100Despite the problems, the anime has a very charismatic cast.Continue on AniListThis review may contain spoilers
GoShogun takes place in an era where the earth was hit by a meteor that emanates a new super powerful energy called the Beamler, which is capable of causing a Good Thunder fortress to be able to teleport 10,000 kilometers away.
The story follows the same line of other works of the genre, the father of the main character is a scientist and is kidnapped or killed by some secret organization and thus starting what we are used to seeing in other mecha. Well, from my point of view I'm not saying that this is bad, on the contrary, I think that even after years stories like this are still very appreciated until today and GoShogun is on that list too.
In my view, the characters of GoShogun are the strongest point of the work, even having seen basically the same conflicts in other works between the characters, I think that here it works as an escape valve, that is, it works very well in my view.
And obviously we can't forget the jokes, which is certainly what makes a mecha work even more fun and interesting to follow.
And somewhere in the nearly half of the anime we finally get answers about how beamler energy works or how it actually came to earth. Dr. Sanada one of the research members who were sent to Siberia was kind of expected, but knowing that the small stone of the meteor found could teleport and that it could send a signal to a second one, that was kind of unexpected and not to mention that making the base Good Thunder and GoShogun evolve to stage 2 was something interesting. And that if the Good Thunder reactor were destroyed it would cause the destruction of the entire solar system, that is, that is practically thousands and thousands of atomic bombs. And of course, consequently came the other two last stages and the new abilities of GoShogun, who can control other mecha and machines.
Visually GoShogun is a very well produced anime for the era and even with the limitations the anime managed to deliver something cool, old anime is a charm and that is undeniable.
In short, the first part of GoShogun is literally slow and that the events of that first stage was something that could have been much better if it had taken a much more serious turn..
The second part had everything to be something much better than the first and only, but it was in the same footprint as the first and not to mention that both the enemies are very weak ..
Those who are going to watch the anime in order to wait for something serious, will certainly be disappointed or their expectations may not be met..
The final act was reasonable in such beauty and even reminded me of The Ideon Be Invoked.
