Synopsis

The Garadain Empire has exhausted the primary resources of their native planet, so they send different space expeditions to find a new world where to live. One of their main objectives is planet Earth. However, Zeku Alba, an alien scientist, decides to rebel against the imperial rule and flees towards the Earth, where he gathers a group of youngs gifted with the power of "psychogenesis", an ability that consists in creating solid matter from mental energy. The most gifted of the squadron is Isamu, a young orphan whose family was killed in the first attack of the Garadain Empire. He is able to generate the powerful robot Govarian, an armor with which he can battle the alien monsters and is able to regenerate thanks to the psychic energy of the pilot. Helped by two other robots created by his team-mates, Isamu, aboard the robot Govarian, defends the Earth in the long war against the alien invaders. (Source: Wikipedia)

Govarian is a dime a dozen show anything it's done has been done better in other shows. This show also has a pretty sizable cast of characters predictably this one of the shows weaker aspects for the amount of characters it has while there's decent moments with some of them those moments feel at least to me a little out of place for when in the story they happen tho the story itself isn't really anything to write home about to begin with. The animation is probably the worst thing about this show it's passable for the most part but well weird frames are definitelya thing here and at once or twice where there's the wrong background. The music I would say is the best thing about this show and I'm not just talking about the opening theme(tho it's catchy) the show had some pretty decent tracks playing at times.

While overlong, a raw charm helped Psycho Armor Govarian worm It's way into my heart by the half way point. Overambitious yet underinspired (Hope you like Star Wars But Anime) but with oddly memorable characters and a great jank translation (by subbing anti-legend AnimeShinigami) available on the internet, that reads like a machine(?) translation of the Italian sub version. There may well be more to forgive in this show then there is to condemn. Some highlights include: Hardly original yet detailed spacecraft designs, decent mech battles in some of the early episodes, a stupid meme score that includes Not Chariots of Fire and Other WannabeVangelis Hits, plus AT-STs, Flyngers, needless father annihilation by ray beam, needless father dying in a collapsed building, and tropes tropes tropes... oh and a few episodes that have tits for some reason completely front loaded in the first handful of EPs. Can't see myself ever rewatching but maybe I'd throw on an episode ever again, take a trip down memory lane or something.
