Blazing Transfer Student - before he designed the characters of Bandai’s infamous Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Kazuhiko Shimamoto made his first major hit in the form of this over the top yet surprisingly dark Shonen manga. It gained a series of image albums, a duo of unintentional OVA ‘pilots’, a glut of live action adaptations and manga spinoffs galore. The franchise’s main theme song is not only written by said creator as a parody of old anime songs (made before the bubble era came along), but also the best hair metal song ever recorded.
