Synopsis
Rescue crew investigates vanished ship on forbidden planet Inferno II, facing an incomprehensible alien threat.
In the depths of space, a mysterious signal emanates from the forbidden planet Inferno II, where a previous vessel vanished without a trace. A rescue expedition of nine crew members arrives to investigate the disappearance, only to discover that the planet harbors an unimaginable threat lurking in the shadows. As the team faces an escalating crisis, they must work together to uncover the truth behind the planet's dark secrets while struggling to survive against an unknown force that seems to defy all understanding of life itself.

A spaceship is lost near the forbidden planet of Inferno II. Some years later, a second ship with a crew of nine gets there and encounters a monster that rapidly makes mince meat of most of them. The sole survivor, Makurou Kitazato, must destroy the monster before it can surprise a third ship that is already en route. (Source: AniDB)

- 4/10 “I truly believe the 1980s OVA boom was the greatest time for anime. But despite that era churning out amazing stuff, there's the inevitable duds. So enter 1987's Hell Target. It's about a group of...”
