this is my reviews thread
The review may come of a bit one sided cause is from one of my fave studios and is from my fave genre and it from the golden age of animes of this genre witch lasted from 72 to 85

I don't think I will ever grow tired of watching this anime. Such an inspiring story with such realistic characters can't help but lift one's spirit. Smart, funny, greatly animated, Wings of Honneamise has a lot going for it and most definitely earns its place as a classic in anime .
What draws me most about this anime is the remarkable world created to accommodate the ever-so-human characters. When watching Wings of Honneamise, pay close attention to the logic put into the conception of this parallel universe. Everything from buildings to currencies has been entirely reinvented yet remains practical and plausible. As if making up a contemporary world from scratch was not tricky enough, profuse details are added into each of its aspects to make sure the viewer really treasures its complexity. No movie comes remotely close to achieving such perfection in large-scale design.
To perform on this breathtaking set are characters bigger than life, all equipped with dazzling personalities. The unique storyline allows them to discuss matters hard to convey in normal circumstance, and they do it with the wisdom I was hoping for. Shiro's fluctuating viewpoint on life, as he tries to answer existential questions, could not have been better delivered. A few references to our world and some drawn-out action scenes that look to have been added for seasoning seem to clash with the rest. Reality checks or changes of pace are not essentially a bad thing, yet I feel they should have been smoothed out more efficiently.
Without being able to please everyone because of its slow pace and religious statements, Wings of Honneamise, through its all-round excellence and inspiring essence, is a movie that should at least be seen by every dreamer on this earth.
this is what Ginax can do when there not pouring al there time in to Eva
a stone cold Classic no matter how you see it score well but what SOP is not
This anime shows that even after 6 years anime genere can still survive before this therehad noot been a good Space Opera in 5 or six years Crusher Joe was the last good one before this and then the next one after this was Planetas
nine out of ten
akari is of Leijl Matsumoto when is come to make i good enthenalling S op
but unless you known anime weel enought to make this comparison this anime can stand on is own oh and the director of this went on to do TTGL
the one thing that stops this movie being the best anime of is genre is is charcters are not as Easy to remember than say Emeraldas,harlock,Maetl Count Mecha or Hoshino Tetsuro but this took gainax eight Years more to nail the memeoable Characters bit and them Characters are stiil knoen to Otaku today
