Special Note: For those that not only to get the full benefit of this film but for those that like watching shows in order watch Osaru no Sankichi: Totsugeki-tai first than this one.

Personal note: i will be doing this review slightly different from my others. I will be doing it in a one sided mainly point of view in comparison to Osaru no Sankichi: Totsugeki-tai.

The main difference between this Osaru no Sankichi and the other film is that this one is based via the air force and the other was army based.

Story
-Unlike Osaru no Sankichi: Totsugeki-tai this version was ... clear on their message and had a proper introduction. There message was a good offense makes for a good defense. In other words if one tackles problems head on the issue will be resolved or at least temporary. Think of it in terms of gardening, more precisely weeds. If you let weeds go not only will they grow but they will expand their 'forces'. Leave them alone for too long and you will find yourselves overwhelmed by their army. Now, if you took care of them earlier upon when you first noticed them the damage done not only would have been minor but you stand a greater chance at stopping them.
- the only thing that they fared poorly was on the conclusion. While it made scene to the scene setting it was unclear if it was symbolic or literal.

Art
-black and white
-Unlike Osaru no Sankichi: Totsugeki-tai this showing was too bright. Not to the extend where the characters and couldn't be seen but almost as if you are driving without wearing sunglasses.

Sound
-while the music used may seem familiar it still works for this showing. Yes, this same music or at least part of it was used in another older production. Only problem i forget which one.

Character - not really needed

Now, when you first watch this, im assuming your watching this know that its a 1940's anime where technology wasn't advanced back them. Because I'll be honest, I actually enjoyed it knowing all of that.

The story was kinda basic, but really gives subtle hints about what japan thought of the US at the time.

The art was actually surprisingly good, and too be honest, I actually thought it was well made.

The highlight of this anime was the music, it didnt really fit the tone in some places, but was nice to listen to ... and something I liked.

Nothing much to say about characters but monkey vs polar bears.

Overall I enjoyed it, just remember its an old anime so its not your To Love Ru, but it honestly wasnt that bad so maybe spare 3 min of your time for this and see where anime took its roots from.
