I tried but could not enjoy the first season of this series. I watched the first five eps back to back and had no desire to watch the rest. It feels way too much like something I've already seen a half dozen times before. Besides the blatant fanservice, it really didn't feel as if it were offering me anything new or interesting. It was like eating a meal with no taste to it at all. Maybe it gets better later... but what's the point of the series? What does it offer over watching classic robot anime (besides boobies)?
I'm not sure if this is some sort of old mecha cliche that I'm not aware of, but I'd say that the single most interesting part of the show is that the main character is a married superhero who starts to form a genuine family. I can honestly say that out of all of the superhero stories that I've read and watched, none of them have had this dynamic. They've almost always been about lonely superheroes who are either always depressed and lamenting the fact that they can't "live like a real person" or lonely superheroes who form a circle of friends and spout platitudes about how his group of twenty-something friends ARE his family, which is very true, but it still doesn't offer the story any kind of family dynamic. There are no kids, no dependents, no wife/husband, etc. They're a family, but for story purposes, they don't offer a story about a family.
Because of this, Godannar really succeeds as a serious superhero story once it's done introducing you to its world and characters, but if you don't find the show and its inventive fanservice hilarious anyway, then I'm not really sure that you should bother. If you're not laughing your ass off during the ridiculous fanservice, then there's going to be a big dead spot for you in every episode.
For what it's worth, I'd say that the show is done with its introductions somewhere around episode seven or eight. But at that point, you hit a whole 'nother can of worms that might turn some viewers away.
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
Wait a second... the girl he's secretly attracted to is HIS SISTER?!
.....and she's secretly attracted to him...? 0_0;
It gets, surprisingly, less distrurbing as the episode (actually two episodes, just like every Godannar story) goes on, but I wouldn't be surprised if some people stopped watching around that episode. Then again, maybe Lu's battle outfit had prepared them for that already. (No, the relationship does not involve Lu. Thankfully, no romantic relationship involves Lu.)

You watch Godannar to see good looking people (girls) pilot stuff and destroy monsters stylishly!
So... yeah, it's not exactly for people looking for a solid well-written super-robot anime, but the plot does gets better towards the end of season 1.
And with such a big cast they managed to cater to a wide "audience" too! (young, mature, breats, butt, loli, siscon, yuri).
Kachou Oji (Black Heaven) was great. Pity that it's pretty obscure. The op is trippy, and the ending is sekushii...
