The Crunchyroll platform regularly provides us with the latest news straight from Japan. But, sometimes, we also have good surprises that resurface from the past.
Formerly Funimation, Crunchyroll has become in just a few years the leading platform for anime broadcasting, to the point of swallowing up the competition. We remember how the French Wakanim bowed out, absorbed by the American giant.

Crunchyroll now offers the largest catalog for everything related to manga adaptations and Japanese animation. The platform even has the luxury of offering a few games, like Netflix. But, unlike ADN which has made it its trademark to use it as a springboard, the orange platform highlights its cult titles… that said, it may be changing, proof is this new entry!
Crunchyroll offers itself a cult anime for the most nostalgic
The years were full of sci-fi, robots and extraterrestrial threats, whether at home or in Japan. However, the land of the rising sun was particularly prolific in works serving this cocktail so emblematic of an era. Thus, after Mazinger Z, Albator or Grendizer, France discovered Robotech.
This title will not necessarily bring back fond memories to the most fervent fans. In fact, he was a sort of goofball clumsily adapting three works: Macross, Southern Cross and Genesis Climber Mospeada. But, today, Crunchyroll welcomes the latest series in VOSTFR to its French catalog.
What does Mospeada say?
Genesis Climber Mopeada is an animated series in 25 episodes of Science fiction. It transports us to 2083. For thirty years, the human species has resided on Mars, forced into exile since the invasion of an extraterrestrial species, the Inbits. But humanity has not said its last word, fighting to regain its rights on the blue planet. However, during a raid, a soldier named Stick Bernard ends up on Earth, giving himself the opportunity to fight directly from the North American continent.

This anime mixes ship battles, mecha and intergalactic issues as we like them. Carried by the soundtrack of Joe Hisaishiwho signs among the most beautiful compositions of Ghibli films, and certain character designs from Yoshitaka Amanowho contributed to the first Final Fantasy, this is a must-have.
Find now the complete Mospeada directly on Crunchyroll. Also extend the discovery of this universe with Robotech, also available on the platform.
