Where it came from
Kishin Corps, or Kidou Keisatsu Kishin-tai, was produced by Pioneer LDC and released as a seven-part original video animation series between 1993 and 1994. The project emerged during a period of significant growth for the OVA market, drawing inspiration from the dieselpunk aesthetic and classic mecha tropes. The narrative follows a secret resistance group fighting against an alternate-history Nazi regime that utilizes recovered alien technology, blending elements of historical fiction with high-concept science fiction.
The series was directed by Hiroyuki Kitakubo and featured character designs by Yasuomi Umetsu, whose distinctive visual style became a hallmark of the production. The design philosophy emphasized a grittier, more industrial look to distinguish the series from the sleeker, space-faring mecha anime common in the early 1990s. While it remains a cult classic among enthusiasts of the genre, the series is often remembered for its ambitious fusion of historical intrigue and mechanical spectacle.
