Prefectural Earth Defense Force

Korewa science fiction! The holy grail of obscure '80s anime has finally been released on DVD today (by ADV Films), and there is much rejoicing here at robogeek.com.

Ignore the lamely narrated trailer and bland, misleading box art - Prefectural Earth Defense Force is relentlessly inspired, gleefully unhinged mad genius. Not only does it have perhaps the greatest opening sequence and theme song in the history of anime, the latter just might be the greatest use of harmonica in the history of music. Few things have ever given me such joy. Buy it and you will thank me. Scope!
