Moldiver

Aired: 1993

A six-volume original science-fiction hero OVA produced by AIC, with its first volume released on February 25, 1993. In near-future Tokyo, Dr. Mizuki's elder brother Hiroshi uses Mol-Skin, a matter-manipulation suit, to fight crime as the hero Moldiver, until Mizuki's younger sister Mirai playfully commandeers the technology and becomes an idol-flavored superheroine herself. Mirai and Moldiver square off against the criminal syndicate Misty Science while juggling family squabbles and flashy SF action. Its polished digital artwork and bright character designs epitomized the early-1990s OVA boom.
