Great episode for a great OVA series! However, being that my YouTube series revolves around retro anime, I'm gonna have to be that guy and offer a slight correction. Henry says the first OVA released was 1985's Iczer-One. That is incorrect. While Iczer-One was part of the first wave of popular OVAs and served as the launching point for Masami Obari's career, the title of first OVA officially released goes to Mamarou Oshii's Dallos which was released in 1983. A sci-fi anime about colonists on the Moon rebelling against there Earth masters, Dallos was the anime that led to such classic early OVAs like Iczer-One, Megazone 23 and Bubblegum Crisis. However, Henry is correct in his statement that Osamu Tezuka's Green Cat doesn't count as the first OVA because there's no information to suggest it was available for consumers at the time of its release.
