I just finished Genesis Climber Mospeada this evening, and to be honest, it feels like I'm still absorbing what took the past three (or so) days to watch! The fact that it's still on my mind so strongly is, for me, a good sign of a plot that extends far deeper than surface action. My overall impression? Though it has its flaws, I thoroughly enjoyed "the ride" of watching the series.
The story is easy to grasp but at the same time a little difficult. Earth was invaded by aliens known as the Inbit. Humans have either already been living on

A fond childhood memory of mine is watching "Robotech" airing on TV. It was one of my first contacts with mecha anime, and it's not hard to see the appeal a cartoon full of battling robots holds for someone under 12. "Robotech" comprised three arcs, the last of which, "The New Generation", was my favourite.
I now know that "Robotech" is just the editing and mashing together of three anime with virtually completely independent stories, and that "Robotech: The New Generation" is just an edited version of an anime called "Genesis Climber MOSPEADA", which I managed to dig up following my reacquaintance with "Robotech" thanks to ...

A year following the success of Macross and known in the United States as the third part of the Robotech series, Macross being the first, Mospeada came into anime existence. One person of note was involved, Katsuhito Akiyama. He is the same episode director from Macross and a few other notable anime (Last Exile, Bubblegum Crisis). However, where Macross stood high and even falling into much of the same name and fame, Genesis Climber Mospeada falls way short.
Aliens invade Earth and wipe out humanity to the point that the remaining humans flee to Mars. Humans fight back with a second force to try and take ... Oct 11, 2019
Mospeada is mostly known for being the 3rd part of the Robotech series despite not being part of the super dimensional trilogy like the previous 2 parts, Macross and southern cross. Nonetheless it surprisingly shares a series of commonalities to the other titles that it fits quite in and makes sense why this title was incorporated, or maybe it was just the trend of the time for many shows and this title just got lucky. As for the show by itself, it's a bit of a disappointment. The best description would be that it's a decent show buried underneath terrible decisions.

I have seen my fair share of 80s anime. Too many to log on my profile. If you like mecha anime then watch this but unless you want to see a 13 year old girl's tits this anime has not much else.
A glorified toy commercial. A Lonely Soldier Boy™ with a ragtag team of gold digging children and bland characters. What really confuses me is just who is this show marketed to? The themes are pretty standard for mecha anime at the time but the writing is so basic it feels like it was aimed at 8 year olds, yet it's filled with gold digging ... |
