About the Artist
The J9 Series is the collective name for a robot anime series produced by International Film Company over a two-year, three-month period from October 1981 to January 1984. All three series feature a team known as "J9" (the main characters also share the same voice actors). Each episode shares a story motif, similar to Ginga Senpuu Braiger (Hissatsu series), Ginga Reppu Bakushinger (Shinsengumi), and Ginga Shippuu Sasuraiger (Around the World in Eighty Days), and the main characters, combined with their unique style, are appealing and unmatched by major productions. The series remains popular even after its broadcast ended, with DVD box sets being released exclusively on Amazon.
