“Hi, here’s an anime with breathtaking visuals that even most Japanese people have never even heard of. It was release in 1987, it had all of three episodes, which have never been translated or re-released on any format, and the artist left animation to become a potato farmer, having only followed it up with a single short that was release on the backs of match books for one week in 1992. Anyway, here’s a clumsy attempt to explain why you should absolutely spend the next twenty years of your life scouring Akihibara for the last surviving VHS bootleg, accompanied by footage that looks like it was captured directly from Mini8 tapes transcoded to 144p, and delivered with the cadence and critical lens you’d expect from your cousin Jeff who streams Watara Supervision games on Freetube.”
