| I didn't expected to enjoy it like that !! :D Well, truth to be told, I would have slightly prefered if they ended together, but unexpectedly enough, I liked too this bitter sweet ending ! *-* Guess it's Okey to have this kind of ending from time to time ^^ 10/10 For me ! |
| Pretty good movie. Nice to see a aviation one once in a while. All Dat gold flying in the air OH MAN! Also Fana falling into the sea way too many time. I was laughing my ass off everytime she did, and the action and aviation skills were nice to see. |
 |
| The animation and the music were ok, not too good not too bad, mediocre if I may. I think the voice acting was fit for the characters, surely it lacked emotion but we're talking about a girl who only speaks when allowed to and a guy treated like pariah since birth... The movie was actually almost enjoyable( yay lets send the future queen over the ocean without any guard whatsoever, oh and did we mention that our best team died there? ) to a point, that damned island. The first thing you do when you get on a deserted island within enemy territory is cutting your hair(ok, fine she tended to his wounds first but still...) because "it was in the way" ... oh and later lets all cry about someones dead mother then get drunk and dance, yeah, romance at it's best. The ending was stupid, she married a fancy prince and became a boring queen and he gave up his newly-acquired wealth for making her happy for like 5-10 minutes. And after that he goes back to being trash. Though the cliches were so abundant that i could barely think of crying between the WTFs. 5/10 |
| The somewhat downer ending totally does makes sense. She's a princess; she can't just run away. I really loved the atmosphere of this movie. The characters weren't all that great, partly due to the voice acting, but they were cute together. Animation was beautiful - thank you Madhouse! |
| OMG I CRIED!! LEGIT I CRIED AT THE END!! SO SAD!! BUT I LUV IT!!!! there prob wouldn't be a second sequl BUT I WANT ONE!!!!!!! |

| loved the soundtrack an the characters 8.5/10 |
 |
| The movie was entertaining. Although the ending was not what I hoped for (was hoping for a more romantic feel ending), it's very much realistic. He still did what's best for the girl, even sacrificing his own happiness for it. I guess you can't always have your "happily ever after" endings. Still, good movie, good movie! 8/10 |

| This was way too cheesy and tired out in a bad way. It made me want to watch something like... Top Gun or Princess Bride instead. |
| Absolutely beautiful movie, I loved it! I actually found the voice acting refreshingly different from what I'm used to and it was by no means bad, I actually liked it relatively much :) The movie was well paced, the action parts were done really well and I didn't get bored during the break times either. I'm debating whether I should give this 9/10 or even 10/10. This surpassed my expectations by far, even though I already was expecting quite much from it. Very well worth my time, I'm glad I watched this movie ^^ |
 |
| 8/10 . Something was definitely missing. Probably the good ending where Charles and Fana would've end up together . |
 |
| Oh this was so retarded, so many inconsistencies! Like the gold at the end, the airship was moving forward very quickly as it was flying back to base, yet the gold (which is supposed to fall quickly) acted more like feathers with 0 km/h wind. The gold should've raped her face when it hit her with 100km/h. The way the plane flew was just bullshit and a lot of magic unexplained stuff everywhere. Not to mention the lamest ending ever. 3/10, because it's just failing hard at what it's trying to do and it's really, really disappointing. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| The movie didn't differ from others for its own good in any way. I felt sorry for the pilot but couldn't care less for the heroine. |
 |
| One of the best movies I ever seen. 9/10 |
| That was a nice movie 8/10 ^^. Really enjoyable. |
 |
| I watched this after starting to watch The pilot's love song. It was better than I thought it'd be. The prince sounds like a total fool. Was hoping he wouldn't end up with Fana from the start, because he really had zero character development other than make him out to be a total imbecile. After hearing the story about Charle's mother being thrown out of the manor, I'm quite glad that Fana's father died. That dogfight duel that intense. It was the highlight of the film for me. That F***er that pointed his gun at Charles, not only hit him, but then literally lined his pockets with his reward? Was hoping Fana would use her position to take his gun, make him kneel, and shoot him with it. Also, gold dust!? What an impractical currency system. Dammit Fana As for the "mystery" to how they ended up with their lives...I'm hoping she divorces that sorry sack of gold-dusted turd and goes off to find and marry Charles. Fingers crossed that they mention them in the spin-offs. Side note: whoever said he threw away all his gold? As far as I can tell, all he did was sprinkle it. I won't believe it unless I see the bag itself take flight into the the skies as well. |
| Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta finally made me dig this out of my PTW. It was a good movie but that ending was depressing. I hope the prince dies during one of the battles to be honest. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Beautiful movie :) Really loved the OST. Loved Fana and Charles a lot. Both are lovable characters. Loved their interactions a lot. The fact that there is such racism was depressing. Fana's development was really great. From being a silent girl that accepts anything her dad says to what she became at the end :D Loved the scene she was drunk in. Really cute :3 Should've kissed though -.- I know they wanted to :P Charles was BA! How he accepted people calling him filthy dog like nothing was awesome. His flight skills are friggin top notch. Totally loved the tense moment when he was shot and barely surviving. Friggin intense and damn creepy with all those huge ships chasing u appearing out of the clouds so suddenly XD and the duel was epic too. Loved the island part, I would have accepted to elope with Fana XD She's basically confessing to him that she wants to live with him together forever >.<...That's the only thing that annoys me. How the hell is she gonna go back to that loser prince and leave Charles T_T Those 2 are made for eachother >.< Loved the ending with the gold spreading. Like a BOSS!! Beautiful scene :D Now, I hope Charles will appear in Toaru Hikuushi's next ep since that was obviously flying the Santa Cruz? Blue seagull last ep ^^ |

| Watched this because of Toaru Hikuushi :D The plot was pretty straight forward. No real qualms with the show despite some cheesy/cliche moments/dialogue. The action was good. By no means was it a masterpiece but it was enjoyable. 7/10 |
| Loved this movie but one problem: WHy didnt Fana and Charles end up together??? this is one of the most depressing ends!! the author sucks! |
 |
| Wow, Charles was pretty much my ideal image of manliness in the end... he literally gave everything he had just so she could be happy. He could have lived a peaceful life of luxury, and left behind all the prejudice people had for him, but instead he chose to be proud of who he was and be better than all of those spiteful racists. He may have given up his biggest chance of happiness, but at least he can die proud of who he was, which was his dream... so it really wasn't a sad ending. Some people might pity him, but I personally envy that he could have the chance to prove his worth like that. I actually almost cried at the end just because of his integrity. What is sad though, is that it seems like all of his friends died... which I can't help but feel like that should've been cleared up. Other than that, it was a grade A movie, imo. I actually really liked the voice acting too. It doesn't matter to me what history in voice acting they might've had... they portrayed the characters' actions/feelings really well. |
razorblade81 said: Well, it's sad that the LN ended too. Kinda wanted to know what happened to their lives after.Enjoyment is off the scale for me. Didn't read the novel but now I want to. I am a sucker for love stories. Wanted her to jump off to his plane at the end. =( oh well. (PS: what the hell is with the Titanic like scene, lol) |

| The spin-off series that just ended made me want to watch this movie. My eyes were glued to the screen the entire time, loved the film. I'm okay with the ending, Typical for a forbidden love type of story but at least Charles got to put on a little show. |

| Just finished the TV series and came to check this out and well this movie sure was lovely, it did felt a bit different but you could see that it was set in the same universe which was pretty lovely! The slight backstories managed to give the characters each a stronger presence and well both characters were actually pretty lovely. The ending was of course not as many wanted but is still pretty decent I must say and well I liked it, it was cute in its own way and well he did do his job and got paid for it. All by all a very lovely movie! 7/10 |
 |
| Aw. So they did not end up together? But I still liked it. Realistic. They were just with each other for 3 days and she is a Princess. Good! 9/10 :) |
| Much better than the TV series imo. I am not a fan of the dramas presented in this movie, the romance was pretty meh too, but I like the male MC. I am pissed at how poorly he is treated. The ending was fine, but I would have liked to know what happened to Charles later. peacecraft said: The movie didn't feel much like a romance to me, Charles and Fana's interaction felt more of a growing friendship (They did only know each other for 4 days) Which I liked. which I hope they kept it as that, but the dialogues and their interaction say otherwise. |

| Bittersweet... I didn't like the voice acting either for the most part, and the story was pretty cliche as others have stated. Characters were bland and two-dimensional, nothing stood out for me. I do have to say though, the animation Madhouse has done is once again superb, they very rarely disappoint me, and this movie is no exception. The bombings at the start and the battles in flight were just magnificent! Overall, 7/10 from me. |
 |
| The battles were short, but intense. The rest was a bit lacking. The romance wasn't very good. They really had spare windows in storage? Yea, you know you need that for a long trip! (etc. etc.) |
  |
| Great air battles. I cheered for our Empress when she shot that wing off. So proud. I felt so sorry for Charles too. :( He did not have a happy life at all. When the Fana was trying to get the two guards to move, I was thinking she should have said: "When I marry your Prince my first act will be to decapitate you both." But that wouldn't have gone too well. I want to believe that while he was throwing his gold, some got into everyone's eyes and they were rolling around trying to get it out. Great movie, great song. Downloading song now. |
 |
| eh i thought this is older movie from early 2000, turned out it was aired on 2011. I have to say that the graphic quality is....mediocre? .___. but the animation is as smooth as I expected from Madhouse ;) the story itself is fine, nothing too special, but the ending is appropriate, realistic, although I admit that there are several moments that made my heart trembling as I watched it ;__; Solid 7/10 from me. |

| 7/10. Essentially the pilot gets a slap on the ass and a "good game" from the Princess and her escorts. This dude pilot will most likely disappear back into the social sewer with nothing because he threw his vast payment into the sky. The F' kind of ending is this?! The pilot essentially 'started from the bottom,' and well....he is still at the bottom. I would have liked him and the princess to get together! Or at least give the man a happier ending. Perhaps he gets recognized as a social equal or gets internalized into the royals. But. No. He flies away leaving the audience wondering what he will be up to; most likely still being treated like garbage. Regardless, I give the film credit. The film was well animated. The sound and aerial dog fights were cool. Beautiful scenery and heart warming characters. |
| "It is the emptiness that make the stars bright." "If you've known pain and hardship, it is easier to be kind to others." |
| I started to watch this movie because I've finished the anime "Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta". The story is different, but still good. I would have liked see more of the relation between Charles and Fana. The final scene was beautiful, but how Charles does he have lived if he has scattered all his gold? Anyway good movie. |
| Was decent but...that epilogue really. A big letdown if I've ever seen one. And I've rarely seen them like this. Was either hoping for both of them to die or get together, and instead we get this bull ;( MC didn't even get much character development I am disappoint. The plot didn't get anywhere; Charles' character felt so vain. 8/10 until the 3 sentence epilogue ruined it for me turning it into a 7/10. Can't even show Charles pimping with the gold in the future T.T |
 "For the sake of humankind, I forsake my humanity." - Cherry |
| First of all, this was better than the anime "The Pilot's Love Song" Now, as for the movie: As for for the pilot MC, I didnt like how they used the cliche of that the male MC is an underdog who comes from a not so established family and everyone hates him for that and keep insulting him. It just makes me roll my eyes everytime they insult him and bully him. I didnt like how in the end, they did a monlogue as to what happened to the main characters..... This is anime..... Not a documentary of something that happened in real life. But is this movie a fun watch? Yes. You really feel the suspense the whole movie, which really captivates you. And thats what made this movie awesome. |

| Nice and solid movie for me. 8/10 because it felt nice to watch it. Many other movies alsways have something that is out of place. |

| At least it wasn't some cliche stupid ending where they eloped. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Just watched this movie, Air fights were awesome I would've expected more from the ending but oh well, wasn't that bad. |
| Some cliches sure but was still a good watch, enjoyed the 1v1 fight very much. |

| Enjoyed this, especially loved the way the princess says 'Hikuushi-san', sad it stopped in the 2nd half. Didn't get the reason why he had to do this mission alone, can't bump up my score unless i get a good reason for it. |

| The ending sucks!!! |
| This movie is a good watch. I love the adventure in escorting Fana and had to confront many misadventures. The animation is really beautiful especially ending scene. The ending is pretty sad for Chalulu to be honest. In the end, I give this 8/10 for my enjoyment. |

It'll easy if they just forget all the social norms and live in an isolated island by their own but eh, Charles is the one who's coccbloccing himself. Still a 9/10 because of profound topics such as racism and social construct. |
| Liked the movie, didn't like the ending. It wasn't all that suprising though, I don't think I've actually seen a single anime like this that had what might be called a happy ending. It's always bittersweet at best. At this point I kinda think it's gotta be a cultural thing with the japanese. |
