Blue Comet SPT Layzner - Episodes 1 & 2 (Blu-ray)

I'm due a rewatch, it needs to be classic mecha and Layzner is overdue a revisit so here we are! I watched Layzner raw in the early 00s and then subbed when MSubs finally finished fansubbing it in 2014 and have been keen to watch it again ever since a HD release came out a few years ago. I had forgotten just good the first episode is. First episodes have always been a strong point of Ryousuke Takahashi (Votoms still has the best opening episode ever imho) and Layzner is no exception, it creates a really good sense of dread and uncertainty as the Mars base is attacked by mystery forces. I'm also a bit taken aback with how good it looks on Blu-ray, I really like the mecha designs in Layzner and their clarity in HD really accentuates them but the animation is fairly decent and it probably looks better than a mid 80s TV show deserves to as there is an impressive amount of detail on display.
