As with the first three Animetal albums, the cover of this album features a skeleton-like figure, which is a parody of heavy metal mascots such as Eddie of Iron Maiden and Vic Rattlehead of Megadeth. Also, certain songs incorporate instrumental arrangements of well-known rock and metal songs. For example: "Haikara-san ga Tōru" uses a bass line similar to Iron Maiden's "Wrathchild".

Songs originally recorded on the singles "Animetal Lady Sanjō!" (アニメタル・レディー参上!, Animetaru Redī Sanjō!) and "Animetal Lady Kenzan!" (アニメタル・レディー見参!, Animetaru Redī Kenzan!) are featured in this album.
