Staff
Besides including themes that inspired psychological studies, such as brain–computer interfaces,[5] the OVA is notable for its production staff,[6] which included Rintaro and Yoshinori Kanada,[7][8] two of the most acclaimed and important animators in anime history,[9][10][11] and Hiroshi "Monsieur" Kamayatsu, a member of the enormously popular 1960s band The Spiders and later a successful solo artist.[12]
Reception
Hardcore Gaming 101, a respected retrogaming publication,[13][14][15] observed apparent influences from Akira and Megazone 23. It highlighted that the title introduces Japanese Buddhist themes to the franchise, but criticized the fact that the length of the animation is not long enough to develop its plot.[16]
