Kunihiko Ikuhara
The script's story as conceived starts "in medias res". References to earlier anime works, including "Lupin III", "Combattler V" and "GunBuster" were added to the final version of "Angel Attack". Akio Jissoji's directorial style influenced the episode. Humorous graphic symbols that are typical of "shojo" anime were used, drawing inspiration from the works of Kunihiko Ikuhara. "Angel Attack" also depicts Japanese Type 74 tanks, Yak-38-inspired VTOLs, nacelle-less gyroplanes and M270 MLRS missile launchers.
