3.0 out of 5 stars Fun anime sci-fi for anime fans, August 4, 2003

This review is from: Gall Force Collection (DVD)

I watched these OVA's back before the rest of the US caught on to the Anime craze. These shows are the progressive story about war (a common Japanese story-line for obvious reasons) that goes on long after everyone can stop or benefit from it before both sides are destroyed forever.

The war is between a race of all women and a race of squigly aliens (doesn't it seem that most Anime monsters resembly sea creatures?) but at some point a small faction from each conspire to create some sort of bridge between the two races and stop the conflict (I wont tell any more or else I'll give away the story).

The first OVA first introduces the conspiracy, but it is halted before anything could happen. The second OVA picks up many years after the first when the use of "Nova-guns" stared to be used on each other's home planets, and the race for a safe home began. As for the other two... I don't want to spoil the suprise...

This show doesn't win much in orginalilty, but I give it high marks for the epic animated space fight scenes that we all love from the excellent mecha designs down to the exploding solar systems.

While this show isn't even close to erotic, the main characters are all women on a ship full of women, so they exersize locker-room modesty. This could raise a few eyebrowse and probably isn't for kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best anime movie collection I have ever seen, July 23, 2011

This review is from: Gall Force Collection (DVD)

I am a huge Gall Force fan and the First of the original series Gall Force:Eternal Story will always be my favorite film. The first movie of his box set was the first real anime I ever saw and to this day has continued to be moving and enjoyable with essentially none of the cliche eye grabbers of other anime series.

For those not sure about this title, yes there is nudity, the main cast is made up of almost only women, and this is not a title for little kids (though the edited version on the Sci-Fi channel I saw over a decade ago was just as enjoyable). That being said, all those points are part of what I like about this series. Inspired after seeing the original Terminator, Gall Force is a successful attempt to create a mature and hard-core action series without relying on over the top gore, sexual promiscuity, or unrealistic proportions to draw people to it. Rather Gall Force relies on action, emotion, morality questions, and at times deep philosophical debates to draw fans with the added bonus of the characters being attractive women. This is for those who like movies such as Star Wars, Alien/Aliens, Space Odyssey 2001, and novels such as Starship Troopers where the audience is treated like an adult and things are not always as they seem to be. Overall a definite 80s style anime that shows it has lasting quality.
