----------------------------------------
For a pilot this was actually pretty intense and interesting! They sure took the best parts to showcase that would later then be integrated in the OVA! Pretty solid but nothing too great either.

How come its air date is like ten years after OVA aired? Wouldn't this have been from 1988?

But man, I thought I was tripping when I noticed Lemnear's face/hair looked different from the final product.

Huh, so they finally added this entry.
Not surprised, though. It’s pretty obscure.

The air-date is not creation date.

Pilots are usually internal test pieces, not released to the public.
Many many many anime have pilots, and 99% never get scene by the public.

The air-date is the air-date.
At a later time as a special bonus in a DVD it was decided to include the pilot.

This discordance with air and creation dates is especially obvious with Lupin VIII
Released "2012" but looks like it's from the 80's - because it is. Details under `more-info`.

edit: btw here is a source for anyone who wants it. it's included with OnDeed's release of the feature film.

Tis a limitation of catbox hosting when a file hasn't been viewed in a while. Takes some time to wake up. Check back tomorrow and should work.

Else, as I said before, go for OnDeed's release of the full feature film on nyaa.

I found mine on YouTube.
I wish more anime did pilots, I like watching pilots as a start to new series so I know what I'm getting myself into. This one has some good action, and I'm looking forward to the OVA.
I want to sleep...

After watching the pilot, I'm glad for the change on Lemnear's design. She looked more distinctive on the final piece. Also, that throne room with the statues seemed kinda cool, it's a shame they scrapped that off.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
