AniWorthTime Stranger
Introduction
Remy Shimoda is in a hurry. She's on her way to a reunion with the other members of the Go Shogun team, and she's late. A police action with some robbers gets in her way, so she runs the robbers off the road. Her vision blurs and she gets into an accident. The movie splits into two with one plot following Remy's slow decline at the hospital with the Go Shogun members and former enemies at her side, and her experience in a strange city where she, and the rest of the team have their deaths foretold. Remy, herself, is plagued by visions of her death, and visitations from a threatening girl and her panther-like cat. The temple at the center of the city is the key, so the team sets out to battle their way into it. Based on the giant robot series "Go Shogun", this is a story focusing on Remy, the female member of the team.

The historical significance of this work is likely something that can only be fully grasped by those who were anime fans in Japan at the time of its production.
Even viewed from the perspective of 2026, this work possesses a highly unusual structure. It is based on the robot anime *Sengoku Majin GoShogun*, which aired in 1981. A spin-off film—featuring neither the original protagonist nor the titular robot—was released in 1985 and became a hit.
For context, *The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?* and *Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer* were released the previous year, while *Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam* began airing just two months before this film's release. Ashi Productions, the studio behind this film, had produced *Magical Princess Minky Momo* the year before and…

Alright, take the director of the Pokemon movies and have him do a sequel movie to a fighting force mecha show from the early 80's. It sounds like a recipe for unadulterated mediocrity, yet somehow it manages to be one of the most bizarre, surreal, and personal animes ever created.
In a way, I would liken this to Watchmen, even though it came out over a year before that famous comic. Both weave tales of heroes who had their moment in the sun, but when the war was over, they faded into obscurity. They're all older now and one has turned his one-time fame into a successful commercial enterprise. Another is the Surgeon General. They haven't seen each other in years, but they quickly rally when one of their own is threatened.
While Time Stranger does have several action scenes, action is no…
