Gobus 44. The most epic final showdown between giant robots in the entire franchise? I think so. God when this show is good, it's just PERFECTION.

I don't talk about acting often in my episode reviewy things but I really FELT this episode. From the intense silence, to the huge rejoice in the command centre to the screams from the Busters as they take down Messiah. Just wow. It's funny that I've gotten to know these characters so well, that with all the shit going on, nothing truly punctuates the immediacy of the stakes like Jin cracking bad jokes that everyone ignores.

This show may lack a lot of plot focus, but the character focus in this show really is great. Even characters like Hiromu, who has pretty weak/flat development, has grown into such a no nonsense badass I just love how he's realised even if he is as shallow as a shower.

This probably won't be knocking off Goseiger as my favourite sentai, although Gokaiger is fast catching Goseiger up already, but I think Gobus needs to be recognised by just how much it does well, and how great the characters are.

There are lots of shows out there which are lacking as a whole, but are saved by being full of great moments, however, there are very few lacking shows out there which are so utterly defined by such spectacularly perfect standalone moments that an otherwise meh series is impossible to look upon in any light other than utter adoration. And that is exactly how Gobus is for me.
