"Gall Force: The Eternal Story (1986)" Topic

"Both sides of the Pacific Ocean often regard the 1980s as the Golden Age of anime, especially, in the genre of military science fiction titles. In 1986, some of the greatest talents in the industry at the time came together to work on this 1986 OVA title. The talent of Gall Force: Eternal Story were themselves, veterans of MOSPEADA and went on to one of my favorite titles of all time: Bubblegum Crisis. In this installment of Future War Stories of the East, we will exploring and hopefully explaining the oddity that is Gall Force: Eternal Story (GFES)!

This is a 1986 military science fiction OVA released in Japan on Saturday July 26th, 1986 under the name of "Garu Fosa" (ガルフォース). The name has translated from Japanese is "Gulfs" or "Galls" or "Gals" and "Force" Some sites have said that originally the OVA was going to be titled "Girl Force", but it sounded too funny and it was changed. The origin story of Gall Force is very unusual and involves some of the best in the business at the time. Originally, the entire franchise of Gall Force started off as a back-page photo-comic series in Model Grafix magazine called "Star Front Gall Force" that ran monthly from March 1985 to July 1986 (the same month as the OVA was released).

I like the sensible body armor and shoes/boots, but those bunny ears………

I'm beginning to see where Games Workshop stole their WH40K Space Marine power armor from…

Seen the whole series, Gall Force: Eternal Story, Gall Force 2: Destruction, Gall Force 3: Stardust War. Then Rhea Gall Force, Gall Force Earth Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3. And ends with Gall Force; New Era parts 1 & 2.

Just loved the designs, and the Paranoid Axis Forces made a great opposition force.

Sometimes Commander Dohn is listed as Commander Dawn, but then there are only 2 named Paranoid officers in the entire series, Commander Dawn and Supreme Leader Borne. Borne's flagship the Absolute was something to see.

Unless you want to count the MME leader Gorn as a part of the Paranoid Axis foundations.

Thanks
