Angels - Mission(Fuga)

Game to cartoon wasn't the exact order.

1979 the comic started in japan.

1985 the OVA anime was released in japan.

1990 the Commodore 64 game was released in japan and the US.

1991 the SNES game was released in japan and the US.

1992 the OVAs from 1985 were released in the US.

2004 the remake shown here was released in japan with the US getting it in 2005.

So it's more like, hurrah for 25th anniversaries!

Regardless, Area 88 ftw!

One of the best anime OPs ever!

@cherrydropomg Don't forget; the first two episodes of the original OVA were in 1985. The third episode "Burning Mirage" came out in 1986. Same year Top Gun was out.

Personally, I prefer the 80s OVA series to this. But this isn't bad. I just don't find it to be as engaging as the original.

this anime isint too popular but it has a damn good foundation and pretty graphics. ovas are still on my to watch list

@Sarajeva - The music is based on Bach's Fugue in G minor BWV 578 (sometimes called "Little Fugue").

@BlueFox284 Hell yeah... XD

They should of made a full-length movie out of this anime. . .I'd drop $20 for it easily. . .

I just got the DVD collection today. And after one play of the opening, I was hooked on this song, it was absolutely awesome!

[TheFerny25]

damn straight.

the anime came out first in 1985, and the arcade in 1989, the one that was shown was the re-made series in 2004, but the overall best is the snes version of area 88 called UN Squadron.......still would chose that over any next gen game anytime.
