Synopsis

In 2061 CE, humanity's indiscriminate pollution of space has substantially hindered the development of space travel. In response, an international federation has designated the sun as a natural incinerator, federally establishing a treaty with the goal of first processing hazardous waste on Jupiter and forming the space environment defense force Cosmo Ecology. However, polluters evading surveillance networks continue to illegally dispose of radioactive waste directly into the sun. As a result, increased solar flare activity is on the verge of turning the Earth into a desert.

The anime is not subtle or nuanced at all about its environmentalist themes, it's just a blunt "STOP POLLUTING!" message like every 90's PSA. Okay, but where *do* we throw our ...

Is there any reason to expect an obscure 30-minute OVA no one has heard of from the early 1990s called Star Dust to be worth a watch? No, not really, and you'd be correct if you dismissed this dud based on the shoddy looking cover alone, with the artwork being equally flat. Ichirou Itano directed a bunch of pulpy b-movie-like OVAs in the mid 1980s to early 1990s. Many of them are entertaining to some degree or feature fair production values, whether it's Angel Cop, Battle Royal High School, Megazone 23, or even Violence Jack. Star Dust remains one of Itano's most unrecognizable credits because ...
