Is Iczer One revolutionary? Is it a highly influential classic? Is it perfectly paced, with a tight story? Is it a highly original story? The answer to all of these is probably no. However—Iczer One is fun. It's pure 80s schlock, with fluid animation impressive for the time and makes for a decent enough sci fi movie. It is a kitchen sink of tropes where at times you barely remember its supposed to kind of be a mecha anime. The primary draws of Iczer One are its overt yuri/lesbian content and its strangely lovecraftian creatures which contrast with what otherwise looks like a standard highschool sci fi romp. The wction is brutal and hopeless - i dont think the sky is ever not dark past like the 20 minute mark.

I cant recommend to everyone, but Iczer One is enjoyable enough to be a forgotten classic worth remembering.
