Time Etranger is both simple in its themes and complex in its story, making it tricky to explain without just telling you about the entire film. Because otherwise, I may never have even seen Time Etranger. But back in the days before anime was widespread and easy to consume, I pretty much devoured any anime I could get my hands on… Which was a blessing in disguise, to some extent. Secondly, it’s not exactly the kind of thing you imagine a young girl gravitating towards.
It’s a movie sequel to a somewhat tongue-in-cheek TV series with giant robots that, for many years, was never available to watch officially in English aside from it’s dubbed and edited incarnation known as Macron-1. First, it’s surprising because it’s not really well known. Hearing 1985’s GoShogun: The Time Etranger might be a surprise when folks ask me for anime that has influenced me or touched me the most, but let me explain. But when I think of heroines that I also admired and looked up to? Remy Shimada was one of the first.
Growing up, there were many reasons that anime was so appealing to me and one that I often come back to time and time again was that there were many stories where the lead character was a heroine that I could relate to.
