It’s time to return to the glory days of 1985 and what a number of us had for options with a few legally released shows at the time, one of which was Fight! Iczer-One. I can still remember being a teenager and totally digging this show and trying to get my science fiction fan of a father to give it a try. Suffice to say, this was not the show to do it with. Details are light at the moment as to what to expect, but King Records has set an April 17th, 2016 release of the series on Blu-ray along with 2 CDs included. The show is getting a two Blu-ray disc release and will include the original Japanese on mono using the PCM format. There’ll be a making-of included on one of the Blu-ray discs while the CDs have all the music. A booklet will be included as well.
At this time it’s not listed whether this is an upscale or a native release. Te set will be priced at 15,000 yen.
The three episode OVA series was written, directed, and had its character designs done by Toshiki Hirano. Masami Obari served as the animation director and worked on mechanical design.
Plot concept: Nagisa is a schoolgirl with schoolgirl tendencies, waking up late, rushing off to school and meeting up with friends upon the way. One morning Nagisa comes across a woman dressed in a strange uniform who seems to stare at her, unnerving Nagisa. Later that day, whilst staring out the window, Nagisa becomes aware of a ball bouncing by itself which flings itself towards her window seat, shattering the glass yet not harming her… Turning back to the front she finds a gaping mouth bristling with teeth inches from her face and no-one else about. She screams and the world returns to normal with her standing and the centre of curiosity of her class… why did she scream?
