Here is the info on the International Movie Database.

One. this movie was made in Japan. Two, it was made in 1986. Special Effects in movies were well in place since at least 1977 when Star Wars came out. (George Lucas started ILM just to make Star Wars).
Just because they were well in place then doesn't mean that all these scenes I see are done with special effects. And to clarify it took four years to make this movie.
