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 Senki has great animation, compelling characters, is well paced, and is extremely re-watchable. Despite a simple narrative, lackluster ending, and some questionable character motivations; it is a really good movie. The animation is not at all dated and holds up well. There is not much character depth, but they are mostly likable. It is extremely well paced, spending just enough time on each plot point.

I first saw this in 1994 during the Sci-Fi Channel's 2nd Annual Festival Of Anime (called Animation Marathon Anime '94 on air, it was hosted by Ralph Bakshi, and also featured Dominion Tank Police, Odin: Photon Space Sailor Starlight, and Project A-ko), and it's been a favorite of mine ever since.

Honestly. Nothing special.

Beautiful animation, a lot of gifs from this movie cycle all over anime aesthetic and vintage anime type forums.

But the story is as cliche as it gets. Your basic boring "war is hell" drama cept it can't even get the HELL part right. Hardly anyone dies, zero gore.

The plot also doesn't kick in until way too late, and for the dumbest reasons. The protagonist just decides ...
