To aru hikuushi e no tsuioku

The story is just too good. The characters are well written. You can hope for a good happy ending since its a movie but they showed reality instead. Great Movie, a memorable one.

OK it's not a movie you will watch with guy friends, it's very soothing without the ace pilot kick ass package.

it's a 2 hour escape into a childhood dream, there's the princess, and the sky for you.

if you grab a pina colada or ice tea open the window with cool breeze in the afternoon you'll be in the mood for this little gem

i'm totally into top gun etc but this movie while being the exact opposite, do bring me back in time where dreams are beautiful and nothing else matters, you'll enjoy the graphics and a little bit of pure innocent romance

if you must be a tough guy 100% of the time don't watch it, if you do have a soft romantic side and appreciate a little escape this is for you

OK, this story is about as formulaic as romance stories go. It is a classic, "I'm rich and you're poor but let's dance together. Society won't like it. I don't care." But there are a few notable things that make this one stand out. Number 1, I like how polite are two main characters are. Typically, in this formula, one of the two is going to be selfish and have to learn a lesson. If it is the pilot, he's brash and uncivilized. If it's the princess, she is spoiled and stuck up. But no, in this one they are both very kind, compassionate people. It makes the jerks who are just jerks look all the more like... jerks. The animation, action scenes and presentation are all done well. I just wish the story would have been more novel, and the ending is a letdown.

I clicked it and I got a movie with the most nostalgic flashbacks ever made, considering how many anime movies and series I had already seen. This one is no less than the true effort put to bring it on the big screen. No doubt about it. It takes the price from my side..That's for sure.

Both the story and the scenery/artistry are wonderful in this animation. Strong & sensitive characters.
