Don't remember the guy's name, but I know the guy who did the original
character designs for the 1st movie (My Conquest is the Sea of Stars)
also did character designs for one of my favorite early 90s "pretty
boys in powered armor" series, "Legend of Heavenly Sphere Shurato". I
could tell immediately by the sort of full lips with the lower lip
exhibiting a sort of crease in the middle.

Dunno, I suspect this is a different person than the above.

As mentioned in another mail, Artland was the main studio that did the
cel work, with inbetweening farmed out to Korea (in part to Scott
Frazier's company - I know because he sent me a bunch of "settei"
(character design sheets) for the 2nd season some years ago and
mentioned how easy it was to color the uniforms on most characters -
just slather on black for the Empire, and green for the Alliance!)

The production was commissioned and released initially through Kitty
Animation (which did all of Rumiko Takahashi's adapations like UY and
Ranma, and from which the other producer, Mr. Masatoshi Tahara, came to
AX93) and later seemed to shift to being produced though Tokuma.
