Starship Troopers (宇宙の戦士 Uchū no Senshi?, lit. "Universal Warriors", "Universal Soldiers" or "Soldier of Space") is a six-part anime OVA produced by Sunrise/Bandai Visual and released in 1988. It is based on the book Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein that was published in 1959.
Mecha design[edit]
Kazutaka Miyatake of Studio Nue originally designed the mobile infantry powered armors in the OVA for a Japanese edition of the novel in the early eighties.[1] A mecha based on this design also appears on the DAICON III and IV Opening Animations from 1981 and 1983, a few years before the OVA was released.
