In the year 2050, the Earth is ravaged by a war between two superpowers â the Western and Eastern Hemispheres â leaving the planet's surface uninhabitable. The only refuge for the human race is to relocate to space colonies, but a select few remain on Earth to fight off the invaders who still roam the wastelands. This is where Genesis Climber MOSPEADA, a 25-episode anime series, begins.

The show's protagonist is Stig Bernard, a young fighter pilot for the rebel forces known as the Freedom Fighters. He lost his parents in the war and has been fighting ever since. When he and his fellow pilots stumble upon a mysterious motorcycle named MOSPEADA (MOSPEADA stands for Military Operation Soldier Protection Emergency Aviation Dive Armor), they quickly discover its unique abilities and entrust it to Stig, who becomes the new MOSPEADA rider.

Joining Stig in the fight against the invaders are Ray and Houquet, two civilians who are recruited by the Freedom Fighters. Ray is a hot-headed biker who becomes the owner of the second MOSPEADA motorcycle, while Houquet is a hard-working beauty with a talent for mechanics. Together, the three form a team, with MOSPEADA as their secret weapon.

The show follows their battles against various enemy forces, from rogue bandits to the powerful Eastern Army. They also encounter Robotech mecha, a race of sentient robots that can transform into cars, hovercrafts, and even battleships. The mecha itself is a big attraction for the show, and MOSPEADA is no exception. With its advanced technology, MOSPEADA can transform into different modes, making it incredibly versatile in combat. Its most impressive transformation is the armored dive mode, which allows Stig to dive into the ocean and engage in submarine combat.

While the action scenes are undoubtedly the show's main focus, the characters are also well-developed and likable. Stig is a classic hero with a strong sense of justice and a willingness to sacrifice himself for the greater good. Ray adds some fun and humor to the group, while Houquet is their voice of reason, keeping everyone calm and focused. They all have their own unique motivations and quirks, making them easy to root for.

The show's animation, while a bit dated, still holds up well today. The character designs are all distinct, and the mecha battles are exciting and well-choreographed. The mecha itself is an interesting design, with its motorcycle form being sleek and flashy, and its dive mode adding a bulkier, more menacing look.

The music for the show is also noteworthy. The opening theme, "Bye Bye My Crisis," is a catchy pop song that perfectly captures the show's energetic tone. The BGM (background music) is also well-composed and memorable, with a mixture of hard-driving rock and epic orchestral pieces.

Overall, Genesis Climber MOSPEADA is an enjoyable mecha anime that fans of the genre will appreciate. It's got plenty of action, likable characters, and an interesting plot that keeps you engaged from start to finish. While it might not be as well-known as other mecha anime of the time (such as Gundam or Macross), it's still a hidden gem that's worth seeking out. And with FilmRise's English subtitled release, it's now more accessible than ever before.
