Product Description

Product Description

In a world eerily similar to our own, war between the Kingdom of Honneamise and its archrival, The Republic, seems inevitable. But even as the two nations' rapidly evolving technology creates new ways to wage greater and more deadly forms of warfare, a small group seeks to use those same advances to propel mankind forward into the future and into space in their world's first manned spaceflight program.

For astronaut candidate Shirotsugh Lhadatt, it's not just a journey beyond the reach of the atmosphere, but a personal odyssey as he grows from an aimless young man into a leader willing to put everything on the line...

Contains both the dub (with the voice of Bryan Cranston) and original Japanese with subtitles. Extras include deleted scenes and original Japanese trailers.


Extras:

- Deleted scenes

- Japanese trailer collection

- English trailer

4.0 out of 5 starsAn epic anime tale of the race to space
By I. Harper on 27 Feb. 2004
Format: DVD
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 starsReach for the stars
By R. J. Lister on 16 Oct. 2007
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The only frustrating thing about Hiroyuki Yamaga's exhilarating sci-fi anime is that - astonishingly - it has not (yet) been released on region 2. But I would urge all UK manga fans to purchase a region-free DVD player just to watch it - it's that good. Alternatively, order the region-free Blu-ray disc.

Eschewing mecha battles and purple hair, The Wings of Honneamise is an epic poem about peace. One imagines it's the kind of thing Hayao Miyazaki would show his kids once they've grown out of Laputa and Spirited Away (as if that's possible!). Set in an alternate universe, it tells the story of an apathetic young man, Shiro Lhadatt (Leo Morimoto), who signs up to become the first man in space. As the countdown begins, the mission attracts the interest of the public, the media, and finally the military, while a sorrowful relgious girl, Riquinni Nonderaiko (Mitsuki Yayoi), attracts the interest of Shiro himself.

It's a fable about the human spirit with echoes of Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff. Indeed, the climactic message won't take you by surprise - but what fun it is getting there. Yamaga's world is fairly bustling with life, all realised with sumptuous animation and some wonderful retro-modern art direction from Hiromasa Ogura (who would go on to work on manga favourites Ninja Scroll and Ghost In The Shell). Shiro's journey to his destiny is full of incident - flying lessons, explosively malfunctioning equipment, an exciting foot chase from a deceiving assassin - but also complemented with moments of dreamy calm. These peaceful moments are not simply excuses for some pretty ethereal music and absent wandering beneath neon verandas; they speak of Shiro's new sense of reflection, of his growing introspection.

Special mention should be made of Ryuichi Sakamoto's score.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA Classic
By James Moar on 20 Oct. 2000
Format: VHS Tape
Set on an Earthlike world, this is the story of a space project, treated as a joke by the military and most of its own staff, suddenly being called on to send a man into space.
This is probably the best anime movie I've seen. It's got a thoughtful plot, good characters, and an extremely well-realised setting. The animation's wonderful, both in design - it creates an entire culture in great detail - and in capturing the nuances of the characters. If you're interested in anime, watch this to see what it can accomplish.

5.0 out of 5 starsif you are into content and perfect visuals this is for you!
By A Customer on 31 Oct. 2000
Format: VHS Tape
This can only be described as a epic master peice. Nothing I have seen can compare to the densly layered plot and and astounding visuals than this film poses. As soon as the film started i knew that i was in for some thing diffrent to explosions and fighting that so much anime has become.
This films lead character (Shirotsugh Lhadatto) joins the royal space force. This is quite a shameful thing. You gather the forces importance when you first sit down to watch it. Shirotsugh Lhadatto is very disorganised and cares about nothing.
On his way home from a night on the town he meets Leiquinni Nondelaiko. A young girl whose strong releigious veiws open Shirotsugh Lhadatto's eyes to a whole new way of seeing his lifes meaning and the world as a whole.
I would love to go deeper into this master peice but i think that if i start saying the plot and its little points i will have to finish and i could write pages on this.
So enjoy the epic saga

4.0 out of 5 starsa great anime film with an intelligent story and well conceived ...
By Rienza on 13 April 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
a great anime film with an intelligent story and well conceived alternative world scenario. Some viewers might find it overlong and the dialogue can require speed-reading if you are using the English subtitles and Japanese audio, but that is preferable to the very American dubbing. One major problem could be that this dvd is NOT Pal, not my copy anyway, so if your player isn't able to handle NTSC then you may be disappointed! Otherwise a film worth the long wait to see on dvd..

4.0 out of 5 starsI'm not sure how to pronounce "Honneamise"
By John Drumm on 28 Oct. 2015
Format: DVD
This movie has allegedly hit so many misfortunes since its release, what with a terrible american edited version and the fact that the story was very ahead of its time. Reminiscent of the man who fell to earth and the Dispossessed, this tells of another planet that is strangely like our own (it fools you for a few minutes of the film, but with the amazing set designs the mind won't be fooled for long) that has attempted several times to go into space. Unfortunately, the program has suffered cutbacks, loss of interest and many many failures. Cue the dashing hero who volunteers to sign his life away for the cause. What seems relatively straightforward as a story gets more and more complex(in a good way) as he becomes known as a hero to the media, and a pawn in the military, fighting their own version of the cold war. The animation is spectacular, I'm not sure why but I always prefer it when anime goes through the effort of detail and movement without depending on computer graphics(I know it wasn't on the budget and time scale but I still love to see genuine cell animation throughout) The alternate world is full realised and reminds me of the work of Shaun Tan. Is it better than its eventual sucessor, Evangelion? I can't decide. Well worth the watch.
