The Japanese edition of the set is coming stateside with English subtitles and an English dub, as well as bonus features like an audio version of the pilot film, a BGM collection complete with image boards, the 1987 Document File and more. It’s all set to come out at the same time as the Japanese release on November 4, and is available to pre-order on the Sentai Filmworks website right now.

Shirotsugh Lhadatt, the protagonist, is a member of the Royal Space Force, which far from their dreams have gone into idleness.
One day, Shirotsugh meets Riqunni, a girl who preaches God’s word, and his destiny drastically changes, leading him to volunteer to be a space pilot…
