Project A-Ko Trailer (1986)

Project A-Ko theatrical trailer.

This is the very roots of Studio Fantasia and its key people like Katsuhiko Nishijima and Yuuji Moriyama, working together along Studio A.P.P.P.

Several years before the AIKa franchise, Megami Paradise, Honoo no Labyrinth, Najica Blitz Tactics, Stratos 4, Kirameki Project, Saikano Another Love Song OVA, there was Project A-Ko, directed and co-created by Katsuhiko Nishijima. A valuable classic Anime.

Man this brings back good memories. I remember this, Odin, Venus Wars and Dominion Tank Police. Oh, and Vampire Hunter D. This is what brought me into the Anime.

Funfact: one of the guys who composed the music for this movie performed on the soundtrack for Scarface a few years earlier.

The Sixteen Candles of anime.

Masterful Anime Movie, done right in some many ways that even the score from the movie has its own impact on animation in general.

Anyone thinks this anime was the original "The Incredibles" or "Hancock"? same kind of superhero parody. I bet those two movies were influenced by this cult classic, mainly Hancock which felt very similar to A-Ko.

@ZPSFilms especially like this one. There's so much "borrowed" in the OVA from other anime, etc but that's before the laws got tighter. Watch it sometime with director's commentary AND look for the Pepsi can in the missle barrage ;)

And yes..great ova and series. Sadly a lot of self proclaimed "otaku" where I live never heard of this or a lot of other old school anime including OVAs like Lensman
