This special prologue edition dives into the origins of the classic sci-fi anime, featuring an exclusive focus on the talented voice actors who brought these beloved characters to life. You get to see all the seiyuu who voiced the ladies of the Star Leaf (Maria Kawamura, Naoko Matsui, Eriko Hara, Hiromi Tsuru, Yuriko Yamamoto, Michie Tomizawa, Naoko Watanabe), and a deeper look into the story’s creation with the director Katsuhito Akiyama.

This was a four episode remake of the original 1973 Neo-Human Casshern anime series, also from Tatsunoko.

Cover of "Model Graphix Special: Star Front Gall Force" book, Dai Nippon Kaiga, 1986. Predating the "Gall Force" anime franchise by more than a year, this book compiles an original serialised story created by planning and production company Artmic and published in Model Graphix magazine from March 1985 to July 1986 using photographs of scratch built models. The characters were designed by Kenichi Sonoda. Scanned from my personal collection.
