27 September 2007 - The Wings of Honneamise by Hiroyuki Yamaga (1987)

Royal Space Force - The Wings of Honneamise
王立宇宙軍オネアミセの翼


Imagine living the fantastic Space Conquest right next to the protagonists, wouldn't that be a drean coming true ?

Well, not here !

As a matter of fact, in the world of "The Wings of Honneamise", the space conquest is not a priority. Nevertheless, Lhadatt and his crew will try to accomplish just that. We follow the life of Lhadatt in this adventure he was not prepared to live.

This 1987 movie by Gainax (Evangelion, Gunbuster) is the first movie of the studio and tells the fascinating story of the space conquest in a world that doesn't really care about it.
Moreover, the world depicted here has been coherently and entirely created for the movie. The history, the politics, the geography, the economics, everything has been thought over and we can feel it on the background of the story.
