It's a double-edged sword to pretty much only care about shows that haven't been popular in decades. On the one hand, that SOMETIMES means the show in question has been clogging up shelf space for years, so they can be fairly cheap. Bu...

It's just behind "lasers that inexplicably bend mid-shot" on my list of favorite tropes from this era of anime. Nothing says a character is powerful quite like giving them shoulder pads that they could crawl up and live inside.
