If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 3 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by MADHOUSE, so the studio's house style defines how The Cockpit looks and moves on screen. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.8/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Kenyuu Horiuchi voicing Lt. Rheindars gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 1993, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
