Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Studio Pierrot's first OVA and Oshii's directorial debut—he was 31 and already fighting producers over his bleak vision.
Dallos essentially invented the 'real robot' genre's political branch; without it, no Gundam Wing or Legend of the Galactic Heroes as we know them.
