Treachery and Gladiators!

A century of bloodshed between warring star systems has plunged nearly 200 planets into hell. Now, an uneasy truce has settled across the Astragius Galaxy. Chirico Cuvie, a special forces Armored Trooper pilot, is suddenly transfered to a unit engaged in an illegal mission to steal secrets from their own military! Chirico is left behind to die in space, but he survives and becomes a renegade, hunted by the army and the criminals alike. Taking refuge in the polluted hell-hole known as Uoodo City, Chirico is driven by the haunting image of a mysterious and beautiful woman, his sole clue to unravelling a conspiracy so complex, he cannot even guess at its depths.

In Uoodo, Chirico soon finds himself in the company of Gotho, a wiley scrap dealer who knows a golden opportunity when he sees it. For Uoodo is the home of Battling, a mega-popular gladitorial game that pits one Armored Trooper pilot against another in mock combat. Chirico is a master with an A.T., certain to bring Gotho all the loot he can handle. But wheels are turning, and the mock combat is about to become very real!

Packed with action and drama, Armored Trooper Votoms is an epic animated saga, a major science-fiction masterwork in Japan for over 15 years. Created by producer Ryosuke Takahashi (Gasaraki), this series debuted on Japanese television in 1983 and its powerful impact can still be seen in the most modern SF anime programs.
