Tetsuwan Birdy

This was a great OVA. It had some major battles, and some comical moments. It feels too short, but it is a great way to tell their story. The art wasn't half bad for its time also. Both this and the remake have lots in common but no major spoilers are released by watching the OVA. It's recommended to check this one out if you liked the remake. Also watching this first won't totally ruin the remake for you. At best you'll know some of their names for the remake.

Good old fashion space alien takes over human and fights evil show. Characters are believable and interesting to watch, attention to human motion is impressive in this animation and design style is rather nice not complicated by extra layers of shading. The music isn’t half bad either and usually appropriate to the situation. Guys family is fun to watch as they can be comicly sarcastic. Recommend 16+ because of brief partial nudity and some disturbing scenes.
