Beautiful illustrations in the 6/1986 issue Newtype of Layzner & Bloody-Kaiser by Hiroyuki Okiura on the right. On the left, we also have a showcase of 4 mechs from the series.

These 4 individuals are all still in the animation business with the exception of Hiroshi Osaka. He was the co-founder of studio BONES and passed away 2007 from cancer.
