Reception
Justin Sevakis, in a review of the OVA for Anime News Network, had mixed feelings about it. He stated the OVA had an "heavy over-the-top cheese factor", but said "the film is one that simply can't be dismissed entirely." He especially liked the ending theme song, performed by Miki Asakura, calling it a " pleasure", and pointed out that Astalis was the "closest any character ever got to being moë in 1985".
Fred Patten called the Justy manga one of the "best" of a new (in 1984) group of manga influenced by Locke the Superman which featured "lone-wolf teenage space heroes who possess unusual talents."
The backgrounds of the manga were compared by Jason Thompson to those used by Ryōichi Ikegami in his manga. Thompson also wrote that Okazaki's "characters' childlike, cute faces the anime style of the 1980s." Thompson also mentioned the out-of-order release of the few English-language chapters. Helen McCarthy gave it two-and-a-half stars (out of five) in her The Anime! Movie Guide review book.

First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
