Five years ago, while battling an alien force known as the "Mimesis," Dannar pilot Goh Saruwatari first met Anna Aoi. Today, on the day of their wedding, the ceremony is interrupted when the Mimesis strike again. As Goh struggles in his battle against the alien threat, Anna stumbles upon a top secret robot known as the "Neo-Okusaer" and uses it as a last-resort to save her fiancee. At that moment, Dannar and Neo-Okusaer merge to become the mighty robot "Godannar." (Source: ANN)

Reviews

This is a review of Season One of Godannar. My problem with the current reviews on the site of Godannar is they seem to be taking it way too seriously. It's an homage to older Super Robot anime and should be seen as such, not compared storywise to something like Spirited Away or what have you. It's like comparing G Gundam to Zeta Gundam and assuming it has a horrible storyline because it doesn't take itself seriously instead of seeing each show on their own merits. Story: 6/10 - The story isn't heavy, especially in this first season. Your average super robotstory basically - flavor of the week monsters that fight the main character. However, some of the arcs have better storylines than the rest - the Cosmo Base arc ( From the destruction of Cosmo Base to the final episode of the season with Ken and Lou fighting side by side ) was especially good, in my opinion. Art: 9/10 - Really high quality art that stays consistent throughout the season. The fanservice is a bit excessive, but it's obviously meant to be like that. Sound: 8/10 - Great, catchy OP.All the voice actors fit their characters well and the use of music during the episodes are nominally great. However, the ED leaves a bit to be desired, but that seems to be the norm for EDs. Character: 7/10 - The problem with charaterization in this series is simply that there are a lot of characters, and in a single 13-episode season you can't exactly have episodes devoted to each character. However, the main characters (Go, Anna, Shizuru and Shinobu) all have pretty well cemented personalities by the end of the season. Additionally, any character that has gotten a character episode ( at this point, the Dragliner team, Lou and Ken ) also have developed personalities, even if some of them are somewhat generic. Hoping the second season develops the rest of the characters, esp the other mecha pilots. Enjoyment: 10/10 - This is where the anime really shines. It just has so much fun with itself that its hard not to have fun yourself as long as you aren't trying to take it too seriously. The fights are excellent, the cliches are hilarious at times.

The anime has a very bad storyline, you might even miss it if you don't pay A LOT of attention. The characters lack a background and introduction, it's like they were just placed there. Also, the way some characters conduct themselves seems irrational and unreasonable, and might get to your nerves, eventually. The mecha designing isn't bad, but their attacks and actions are too monotonous. A poorly-written, very-ordinary romantic story. It at least has a good art and animation. Watch it if you have a lot of free time or nothing more important to do.
