Staffs The Director is Kawamori Shouji, the director for Macross series. Character design is by Yuuki Nobuteru, known for Lodoss Wars, Gunnm, Angel Cop, Weathering Continent and various others. The original manga was co-production of Kawamori, and Yadachi, so it's natural that Kawamori direct this. This is the first TV series that Yuuki Nobuteru is doing characer design. The staff overall is very rich, and one of the mechanical designer is that of Nadia. This is a potential hit. |
