In the blink of an eye, high school student Taku Shimamura finds himself transported to the bizarre world of Slaffleaze, where intelligent creatures govern and the ruling class, led by the villainous Zolba, is plotting the invasion of the world they know as Capricorn, the Earth. Joining together with the oppressed Slaffleaze peasants, Taku must find a way to stop Zolba`s dark forces before the way to the unsuspecting Earth is opened. In order to do so, he must first gain the love and trust of the last of the Yappie, the ancestral guardians of Slaffeaze. This is a task that will take more than a little courage and daring, for the last Yappie is not just a cute young female, she`s also a dragon.

Where it came from
Capricorn was released as an original video animation (OVA) in 1991 under the Starchild Records label, which was then a prominent division of King Records. Emerging during the height of the early 1990s OVA boom in Japan, the project was part of a creative era that allowed animation studios to pursue experimental science fiction and fantasy narratives that did not fit the constraints of television broadcast schedules.
The production sought to capitalize on the aesthetic trends of the late eighties and early nineties, focusing on character-driven science fiction themes that prioritized visual atmosphere and synth-heavy soundtracks. While Starchild Records oversaw the distribution, the animation reflected the standard industry practices of the time, often serving as a showcase for independent creative talent within the Tokyo studio system. It remains a notable, if niche, artifact of the period's direct-to-video market, representing the high-concept visual storytelling that defined the era.
