Based on the manga by Masamune Shirow, it was written and directed by Kazuyoshi Katayama with character designs by Yumiko Horasawa.
It’s in its original Japanese language with English subtitles.
Which is why it was a delight that the original 1988 OVA was coming back into print as Discotek Media acquired the rights to it a couple of years ago.
With the series getting its standard definition return to the market last year as no HD sources were available, the folks at Tubi TV have now added the OVA to their service for fans to check out.
