Why the special effects are like this, Toho made this, the costumes and fight choreographies are fine and, more importantly: why, despite of being so hilariously bad, are those FX obviously treated as a feature?
It was one of the first Japanese shows to be shot on video rather than film so they could make use of what were cutting edge compositing effects at the time. Same reason why the original cut of Star Trek TNG looks the way it does.
A shame Venus didn't received her armor. Also sorry for pic, that's the only fanart I could find that wasn't brazilian. Because this thing aired there too, of course it did...
>>23903688I remember an Uchusen article from half a year ago that showed off the Venus Jacket's concept art. It felt like a long time ago, I might not be able to find it again.
There was a Venus Bit in the manga. Minoru Nonoka has been going through cancer treatment but I hope he gets better. The guy worked with so many mecha anime and tokusatsu productions.
