Audience Member This is often cited as THE classic first Anime to hit the United States' shores. (OVA - Original Video Anime), aka, first anime to help spark the American craze for anime and entrance into American pop culture. That being said, it is fascinating that no one has reviewed this on Rotten Tomatoes... but i digress. Critics usually blast this piece as having horrible, barely audible dubbing (from a french cast) and a storyline that is hard to follow. But these factors are not resulting from the original drafting of the story (a well drawn anime space adventure made for a teenage Japanese audience). The creators of this classic Anime succeeded visually and I found the story engaging, despite that fact that it was condensed from its original three parts to a single movie length episode (it is hard to find the original) and the result is a lot of the depth of the story was probably lost. This was originally picked up by Celebrity, which in California, licensed cartoons for a series of videos for kids. The story is not really intended for that audience. However, the American Anime audience had yet to come into existence, so the only way it made it over to our shores was to be billed for the juvenile market. At that time in America, we assumed cartoons were for children exclusively. Until anime like this one and Robotech changed all of that.
