The original “GoShogun” anime (one of its character designers was Hajime Kamegaki, “God Mars” and “Baldios’” mecha designer, and the Director of shojo classic “Fushigi Yuugi”) was followed by a movie in 1985 titled, “GoShogun: The Time Étranger” (a more serious, grown-up oriented look at lifetime choices and their subsequent results, viewed through the prism of a 70-something Remy Shimada’s allegorical, coma induced, hallucinatory dream). It was shown on American TV combined with animation from “Great Military Operation in Subspace: Srungle” (1983-84, part of the Japanese J9 Giant Robot series), and it was later released on VHS without the scenes from “Srungle”. “Macron-1” is the Saban Entertainment adapted version of “Sengoku Majin (Warring States Devil) GoShogun”, a 26-episode TV series from 1981.
