This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1983 for the first release of Harmagedon: Genma Wars.
Harmagedon: Genma Wars (幻魔大戦 ‒ハルマゲドン‒, Genma Taisen: Harumagedon) is a science fiction anime movie released in 1983, based largely on the first Genma Wars volumes. The movie was directed by Rintaro, with character designs by Katsuhiro Otomo. Kadokawa (as spearheaded by Haruki Kadokawa, the president of the company) and Madhouse produced the animation.
Katsuhiro Otomo, who was previously known for the manga Akira (1982), was inspired to become an anime film director after his work on Harmagedon. This led to him making his directorial debut with the anime film Neo Tokyo (1987), before directing the influential 1988 anime film adaptation of Akira.
Capcom artist and designer Akira Yasuda said the initial inspiration for Chun-Li in the fighting game Street Fighter II (1991) came from the anime film Harmagedon: Genma Wars. The Chinese female character Tao was the initial basis for the character design of Chun-Li.
