The box illustration is newly drawn by director Yoshikazu Yasuhiko.
Based on the first story arc of Yasuhiko's own manga of the same name serialized in Gakken's Comic
Nora from 1987 to 1990, the 100-minute anime film was directed by Yasuhiko himself, animated by
Kugatsusha, and distributed by Shochiku in March 1989. It was considered as a box office and critical
failure at the time, so Yasuhiko had refused the film's DVD / Blu-ray release in Japan for a long time
(they were released outside of Japan, though).
He said, "Thirty years ago, I was a loser.
To seal this film. "But he has finally agreed to release the film in Blu-ray format from Bandai Namco Arts.
"Now I want to apologize to the film and everyone, and I sincerely hope you watch this film pulled from
the time capsule with the eyes of the contemporary age. "
