Discotek Media made a really solid pickup for old school fans at Otakon last summer with the acquisition of the 1980’s Area 88 OVA series. The distributor now has opened a new avenue to get the OVA series to fans as it’s available digitally on Amazon. It’s listed as free viewing for Prime members but you can also buy episodes for a buck each or buy the three episode series for $1.99.
Check out our review of the previous DVD edition as well as the 2018 edition and its inclusion in our Thirty Years Later piece look back at 1985.
Plot Concept: In a cruel twist of fate, talented young pilot Shin Kazama is tricked into serving as a mercenary for Area 88: a hell on earth where men survive by gunning down anyone who stands in their way. To return home, Shin must sell his soul to the battlefield and pave the road back to Japan with the corpses of his fallen opponents.
