CXXVI: "Godannar"

This is another mecha I saw by chance, but isn't really as popular as others, Godannar is an odd one, but the concept of mecha versus aliens isn't so new.

Goh Saruwatari is a hero that defeated the Mimetic beast race 5 years prior to the anime's events, after these beings laid waste to Japan. To end the battle, he in his machine Dannar defeated the boss of the Mimetic beasts, saving his fiance Anna Aoi in the process. That was in the year 2042. Five years later, Goh and Anna are to be wedded, but Goh is forced into combat before the vows are said to combat the Mimetic once more. He's not alone, however, as Anna discovers the Neo Okusaer, and joins her fiance in combat to form Godannar. Over time, however, they learn that the world is under the epidemic of the Insania virus, which turns males into Mimetics, the very beings they're to destroy. While females are normally unaffected, males who pilot machines are at great risk. Knowing this, how will Goh make it out, and will he and Anna ever be officially married?

Created by studio AIC, this title is known for it's dosage of fanservice, something Gravion is also guilty of. This anime was featured on Anime Network, licensed formerly by ADV, and picked back up again by AEsir Holdings for English localization. Aside from having a game, it has a 26 episode anime. Brett Weaver and Hillary Haag voices Goh and Anna respectively, who are the lead male and female roles of the anime. It maybe implied as such, but this doesn't count as a harem.


Godannar is an odd one, gaining a 7.1 of 10 on the scale. Not one of my favorites, but I don't mind looking at it time and again.
