Description

This vintage 45 rpm vinyl record features a colorful sleeve from the Japanese anime "God Mars" (六神合体ゴッドマーズ), a famous 1980s science fiction series. The cover, illustrated in a retro manga style, highlights six main characters in white and blue jumpsuits, with yellow and red details, typical of Japanese animation design of the era. The background of the sleeve displays a green gradient, accentuating the contrast with the characters in the center.

Japanese inscriptions, including the title "ゴッドマーズ" (God Mars), are clearly visible at the top of the sleeve, accompanied by credits and character names aligned at the bottom: Kenji, Akira, Kakeru, Ryo, Naoto, and Takeru, depicted in dynamic poses. The sleeve also bears the mentions ©NTV/光プロ/TMS, indicating the involvement of TMS Entertainment and NTV studios, guarantees of authenticity for vintage Japanese animation enthusiasts.

The sleeve is in good visual condition, with slight signs of wear and reflections visible on the protective plastic. The print remains clear, without significant discoloration, and the original colors are well preserved. The vinyl record is not visible in this image; only the front sleeve is shown.
