4.0 out of 5 stars An epic anime tale of the race to space, 27 Feb 2004
By I. Harper (Bedford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Wings of Honneamise is great film overall. It is very different to alot of the horror/gore or sci-fi/mecha anime that is on the market by the way it portrays one boys dreams of flying in space. It's beautifully created and the artwork is stunning. There should really be more anime films made like this, the telling of an epic tale (it reminds me of kind of like an animated version of The Right Stuff), people would take anime alot more seriously if they did. The story is very deep and you get real character development, as well as genuine emotion. I saw this at the cinema when it was first released over here and on the whole was awestruck and I have seen it many times since on video and DVD, but the only problem I have with it is that some of it is soo boring, don't get me wrong most of it is amazing but it does drag in places. I would give it 3.5 stars but I can't and it doesn't deserve to given 3, so 4 it is. As much as I have a few gripes with some of it, I can't not like this film.

DO see this film and see what can be done with the art-form as it is truly outstanding, and like Perfect Blue shows that anime doesn't have to be about giant robot suits or vampires and tenticled monsters.

5.0 out of 5 stars wings of honneamise, 1 Jul 2002
This review is from: Wings Of Honneamise [VHS] [1989] (VHS Tape)
I'm a great anime fan, much more so for the type thats actually got a storyline, rather than demons running about killing as many people as they can, in as gruesome a manner as possible. It seems that so many animations these days seem to rely on the shock tactics and this animation is no different. Except it's because of the endlessly beautifully portrayed and inspirational world that the main character inahabits and the epic storyline that pulls you in so effortlessly that make this a shocker. I can't think of any other animation that can do this without using violence or sex as a base board to spring from. Even Akira (though, yes, Akira is better than this, though not by much!) uses far more violence to portray the emotional aspect of the film.
Some people who are on a high octane fuel for their film consumption may be bored however, since the storyline is very philosophical, though nothing particularly challenging, i believe.
I'm not an expert, but i have seen quite a few animations (i'm also a computer animator) and rate this film among the very best that animation has to offer (to use the advertisers words, that you always get when previews of other animations come before the film).
Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique among anime. Behold, a masterpiece, 17 Dec 2000
This review is from: Wings Of Honneamise [VHS] [1987] (VHS Tape)
I will admit something- had my brother not been present in the room, I would have cried at the end of this film.

This the only anime film I have seen where you actually feel for the characters. It chronicles the efforts of a young cadet in the Royal Space Force to be the first man in space after being enlightened by a religious worker. But unknown to him, the government are using the launch merely as a reason to start a war.

It is a true epic; but do not expect the pyrotechnics and robots of most anime. This is a thoughtful drama, and triumphs because of it. It presents an interesting plot without confusing the watcher with ridiculous revelations (ala 'Akira'), and presents some serious undertones which present an opinion on some of life's big questions. It conveys the thought that mankind can advance, but will still possess his tribal traits that will be his undoing. It is refreshing to see an anime film that creates such a rich world that matches the epic 'Final Fantasy' series without including stupidly proportioned women and big guns. It has fantastic animation (especially the airborne scenes) and a humour that seems to subtely poke fun at the straight-faced idiocy of other anime.
