Synopsis

In the 21st century, mankind lives on two worlds. Following the collision of an ice asteroid, massive terraforming has made Venus a planet now capable of supporting life. Colonists from Earth tamed the hostile world and have thrived for four generations. But they also brought the darker side of humanity. Venus is about to get hostile again.

Hiro Seno, a hotshot motorcycle jockey, witnesses the first strike against his country Aphrodia, by the rival nation of Ishtar. Huge battletanks and warplanes quickly lay waste to the city. The Aphrodian army is quick to mobilize and retaliate... and despite his opposition to warfare, Hiro finds himself fighting for his life on the front lines.

Venus wars is to me a classic, Its not very very good but I watched it many years ago and by the standarts back then it was quite entertaining.
Probably not the best choice for younger fans who cant stomach the outdated animation but is a fine example of 80's sci fi anime.

Its a decent quick watch, and a peek into the 80's, the golden era of anime.

I don't usually do review but after seeing this movie I had to, because I can't really recommend this to anyone.

Basically the story is very ordinary! I have seen many movies from late 80s that are written in same way and this also borrows many elements. I felt that this movie was re-written less bloody version of Akira. These two movies have many things in common!

And the characters are forgettable. I didn't even remember anyone's names.

Only one thing that is good in this anime is its artwork. I really liked how the tanks and other vehicles were drawn.

Overall an unfinished anime, which read more

Recommendations

What the hell is going on?
Who cares? Delicious 80s animation.
Cool bikes, biker gangs, hot 80's girls, 1980's culture BUT it's the future, and war disrupting it all. Both Venus Wars and Megazone 23 are oh so 80's, but oh so great! They feature amazing 80's pop (some of the best anime has to offer), they have great stories to tell (both are classics) and feature cool characters doing cool things. Also both shows are quite smart, very sexy, and the art/animation still looks amazing. You owe it to yourself to check the other one out!
