Logo: On a black background, the green/gray letters of "L.A HERØ" appear floating in while looking at the top, and later the camera moves around the finished text, stopping when the words are seen at the center. The result cheaply crossfades to a red/yellow lens flare, then to the logo again, but it's a little bit closer, which zooms away a little bit to the original distance.

FX/SFX: The letters moving, the lens flare.

Music/Sounds: A peaceful fanfare ending with a synth flourish.

Availability: Ultra rare. Seen on later releases of Japanese anime from the company. An example is
Super Dimension Century ORGUSS: Volume 4.

Editor's Note: None.
