If you can get away with murder or theft for three days, you will not be punished. However, the boy Jiron Amos does not give up on his parents' revenge even after three days. The people he meets, such as Elchi, the daughter of a merchant, and Lag, a girl from a bandit gang, are drawn into his "obsessive mind," and it soon grows into a flow that shakes the entire planet Zola. ■ExplanationA compilation film of the V series "Combat Mecha Xabungle". It is very different in style from the simultaneously released "Document Fang of the Sun Dougram", in that instead of following the story in order, it looks back on each character's memorable scenes in a youthful graffiti style. It also includes the ending where Arthur Rank, who was thought to be dead on TV, saves the blind Eltch. ■Cast・Jiron/Susumu Kotaki・Elchi/Mari Yokoo・Rug/Saeko Shimazu・Blume/Toshio Furukawa・Dyke/Keisuke Yamashita・Chill/TARAKO ■ Main staff・Production: Masanori Ito ・Planning: Eiji Yamaura ・Original concept: Hajime Yatate ・Original story: Yoshiyuki Tomino, Yoshitake Suzuki ・Character design: Tomonori Kogawa ・Mechanical design: Kunio Okawara ・Mechanical setting: Yutaka Izubuchi ・Art: Shigemi Ikeda ・Editing: Yumiko Fuse (Inoue Editing Office) The appeal and evaluation of "Xabungle Graffiti""Xabungle Graffiti" is an anime film released in 1983, produced as a compilation of the V series "Combat Mecha Xabungle".
