AniWorthMacron 1
Introduction
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.

From a technical standpoint there's nothing really noteworthy here: the animation is par for the course for TV anime from this period, characters are generic; the sound, music, and voice acting are all competently done, but nothing that really stands out. The only reason to watch th…

Note that this is a review of the original series and is not a reflection of "Macron 1" or any of the other overseas Goshogun adaptations.

Eventually it becomes pretty clear though, as the jokes become more and more self aware and the laughs keep coming.
The series follows the "Good Thunder" team's adventures around the world and their efforts to…
