saw it on Manga crappy VHS in the 90's with some middle school friends. A friend of mine bought each tape as he gathered enough money for it from Suncoast in the mall. At that time watching anime like Ninja Scroll, Blue Submarine, and some ADV vision VHS tapes.
I was really impressed by the new fighter designs, the cockpit view was fresh and original. Still remember the excitement of Isamu as he was dancing on the pedals making the Dino bird in the sky.
And the fold CG was pretty badass.
