Synopsis

In 2100, the newly built Bayside City serves as Japan's premier international port. The Angel Arms Company is established by a former policewoman named Takako, to help wage war on terrorism with armed security suits. When the mayor is assassinated, the women of Angel Arms end up protecting the evil crime-lord Hassan, in hopes that his information will help bring down a global terror ring. Takako's back is to the wall as a band of criminals plot to kill Hassan, and the organization's leader is revealed to be the former lover of Angel Arms' own Alisa.

This movie taught me the value of how a truly good story, outshines the rest.
Gundress was basically a production disaster during its conception phase, To the point that the movie looks really really really rough. Almost like an unfinished movie but the story is what kept me watching.
I honestly thought I was gonna hate this when I started it randomly but I was left content and satisfied by the end of the movie.
Definitely watch with an open mind regarding animation errors, It has superb voice acting and even good choreography in action scenes.
One of the better Old movies I've watched.

In terms of an introduction i was not a fan nor was i a hater. Visually it was action based but plot not so much. A believe to the shoot first ask later concept. Personally, all love of action aside ...

Brethren... Today, we gather to give eulogy to an animation team which quit us 20 years ago, exactly.

You were barely known, Studio Junio, and yet you were the witness of a pioneering era. Under the guidance of Takao Kosai and Tetsuo Imazawa, freshly debarked of the defunct Hatena Productions in 1969, you gave a hand on successful outings as "Akado Suzunozuke" or "Hajime Ningen Gyators" for your debuts. As you went on to hold your little fort for 30 years, Mushi Productions were thriving thanks to the business acumen of Osamu Tezuka, you saw Madhouse's birth in 1972 initiated on the impulse Osamu ...
