Mecha design

Kazutaka Miyatake of Studio Nue originally designed the mobile infantry powered armors in the OVA for a Japanese edition of the novel (published by Hayakawa Publishing, Japan's largest science fiction publisher) in the early eighties.[1] A mecha based on this design also appears on the DAICON III and IV Opening Animations from 1981 and 1983, a few years before the OVA was released.

gollark: It would take ages to download so I'd prefer not to if it probably won't work.
gollark: Speaking of somewhat underpowered hardware, can I use the 2.7B GPT-Neo model on my RTX 2060 (6GB VRAM) in half precision? Multiplication leads me to think it's possible just considering the parameters, but some internet things imply it won't work presumably because of storing other stuff.

gollark: Interesting, I wasn't aware of this.
