KingMenu Subs/GnK-Rip: Phantom Yuusha Densetsu Ova

KingMenu Subs/GnK-Rip Presents: 

Phantom Yuusha Densetsu Ova 

This is an obscure OVA that I got ahold of from an Japanese auction after reading about it. As I watched it I could not help myself from making a Raw VHS Rip afterwards, in hope of that someone in the distant future might make a fansub to this gem. By pure luck I came across KingMenu Subs, we started talking, and now here we are and I can present the great work of KingMenu with crew.
