Pretty standard sci-fi fare for the time, with giant monsters and Tetsujin-type giant robots. Decent for what it is, but with only an hour runtime. Miyazaki worked on this anime, and you can tell by the art style, especially the main heroine who unfortunately appears for only the last 20 minutes. Character and plot development is minimal, and the film could've benefitted from an extra 30 minutes. Compared to anime just a few years ago, the animation is great and looks more like anime would in the 70s. There's an environmentalist or anti-capitalist message in this film, but because of the short runtime it's hard ...

Flying Phantom Ship is an interesting bit of animation film history as one of Miyazaki's earliest works but a little half-baked. It begins weak with a flimsy plot that seems a little worrying in how plain it is, strongly resembling Scooby Doo with the haunted house and dog. It rapidly changes later with an intriguing, underdeveloped plot and several big twists, almost reminiscent of Studio Ghibli's films decades later with how much it surprises the viewer, but not anywhere near as earned. The run time is only an hour, so there's little time to develop anything, and scenes transition without much weight given to any ...

Mixed Feelings
I initially stumbled onto this series because of the reference to the film in Moyoco Anno's biographical manga about her husband, "Insufficient Direction"! It was cited there as an early influence for the famous Neon Genesis Evangelion director, so — of course, I had to give this feature a try! I originally expected a spooky, mystery scenario... but the narrative somehow manages to spiral around, and ends up punching you in the face with the message that big companies are bad and don't care about your health!
