Starship Troopers (宇宙の戦士 Uchū no senshi?, lit. Soldiers of Space or Space Soldiers, although Starship Troopers is widely accepted) is a six part anime OVA by Sunrise, based on the book Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein.

Plotwise, the OVA is considered by Anime News Network to be the media adaptation most faithful to the novel's plot,[1] despite the fact that many liberties were taken with characters and events. For instance, Rico, a Filipino in the novel, is a blonde caucasian in the OVA.[2]

Studio Nue originally designed the Powered Suits in the OVA for the Japanese edition of the novel in the early '80s.[3]
