Armored Trooper Votoms Case;Irvine is the first of of three new Votoms OVA projects revealed in early 2010, produced as usual by studio Sunrise, with crew members who previously worked on Code Geass and My-HiME. Set in a world where underground "Battling" among Armored Troopers is popular among gamblers, the story starts when easygoing Irvine - a repairer of the tank-like robotic Armored Trooper mecha - loses on purpose to strait-laced Paygun. The OVA was initially previewed at a Votoms event in November 2010, before being released on Blu-ray and DVD on February 25, 2011.
