About Crusher Joe: The OVA's
In the 22nd century, mankind expanded into outer space. However, it was the Crushers who paved the way, performing jobs that ranged from terraforming to asteroid busting, warp lane plotting to transportation. These days, the Crushers still accept jobs of all kinds, so long as they're legal and ethical, and Crusher Joe's team is the best. Joe, Alfin, Ricky, and Talos, along with the robot Dongo, take on jobs that require all the tools, tricks, and knowledge that the Crushers are known for.
Directed by Haruka Takachiho, Crusher Joe: The OVA's leans on a strong ensemble — Run Sasaki, Noriko Ohara, Hiraku Takemura — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1989.
