While the dub can be kinda goofy and the Blu-ray has a few minor visual hiccups, the heart of Royal Space Force is why I love this movie. I bought the product initially upon viewing a YouTube reccomendation of this movie claiming how good the ending’s battle animation was. While the final skirmish was indeed very well done overall, I cannot say that that is the reason I loved this film, though I will say that the last 10-20 minutes of the film is quite fantastic and prior to viewing the film I had not seen anything quite like it. The characters or character are the real gem here, mainly the main female character and her interactions with our protagonist. I felt real empathy for the woman in this film and loved how the main character became so moved and affected by her lifestyle and beliefs. She is an incredible character. I would rather not go into too much detail and let you, the viewer, experience the film without any spoilers. The ending was fantastic and that is a big part of why when I finished this movie I felt so satisfied yet was given much to ponder. Definitely worth a watch and in my opinion it is worth purchasing. Enjoy!

Lhadatt, a befuddled slacker who becomes the driving force and public face of a military/scientific enterprise he can barely understand, is the hero of a science fiction satire that seems to be the lovechild of Robert Heinlein and Jim Jarmusch. If the movie's theme -- hard to pin down on the first viewing -- is that people can do the right things for the wrong reasons, then its deadpan blend of dark comedy, big social/philosophical questions, and a technological sense of wonder start to make much more sense. That's not to downplay the suspense as the launch date approaches, and the sheer physical realness of the busy, rundown, very lived-in world that the characters inhabit.
In a strong cast of individuals, Lhadatt's girlfriend Riquinni -- a dowdy single mom whose religious devotion borders on fanaticism -- stands out as his unlikely muse and guiding light. This 1987 movie is not your typical anime: it has more to say about life, and our choices about what gives it meaning, than you may be used to.

In this anime, in my opinion, its charactors and sometims even the backgrounds are moving beautifully, I think you can say this anime was produced by the traditional Japanese craftsmanship, and that is the reason I gave it the FIVE STARS! However, I wanted the animators and others to have built up more interesting and less bored story for audience, that’s all.
While I gave this anime five stars and I confess I shares my country I belongs with them, frankly this anime is for those who have any interests for the history of the world animations development. At that point, however, this anime was produced by the young men at their 20’s among whom are Mr.Sadamoto, Mr, Anno( Remember the Evangelion)
and Mr.,Skamoto (now famous music composer).
I think those who he or she has interest in the pre-production story of the EVANGELION will satisfy his or her curiosity.

It's the movie I remember. I was fascinated by this movie when I was 13, back in 1992, while all my other friends were drooling over Ninja Scroll. I was impressed not only by the animation, but also by the rich world developed by Gainax. Little did I know that this studio would later make Evangelion, long since considered the "gold standard" for may anime outside of the venerable Studio Ghibli movies.
I had the DVD which was a very rough and dirty transfer from what I assume was high quality broadcast VHS. The colors were a little muted and it had some interlacing artifacts. However, this Blu Ray transfer looks bright and clear, though maybe still a little muted (the movie is pretty old, after all).

This anime movie is worth buying on Blue-ray. It falls outside of the 2015 ideals of either studio Ghibli type family movies or characters with owl sized eyes falling into predictable categories. The hand drawn cell animation is detailed and more fluid than the average from the 80's although not completely smooth. The story is about human beings, with all the flaws included, in an alternate world attempting their first orbital flight. The main character may start out as a directionless loser but he perseveres through misfortune and personal mistakes in a tale that warrants repeated views.
Not suitable for either children or the childish. A 9 out of 10 or 4 1/2 *

Great classic anime movie from the ‘80s. Dive into many themes resolving none. Characters are fun, and designs are fantastic.

Animation tour de force. I can believe an alternate reality, but I cannot believe that a space program that has been left in the hands of misfits. No one becomes an astronaut by accident!

Outstanding anime about struggle and triumph. Launches above the pettiness of the world.
Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2018
An outstanding anime and story. THERE IS ONE DISTURBING SCENE WITH BRIEF FRONTAL NUDITY, however. On a world completely different from Earth, a young man "Shiro" Ladatt joins a cynically under-funded space-program and trains with their make-shift facilities and aging infrastructure to be the first human in space. The movie is hand-made animation before computer-assistance, with music by Ryuichi Sakamoto (a synthesizer pioneer and co-founder of the group Yellow Magic Orchestra, and producer of movie sound-tracks such as for THE LAST EMPEROR). The scenery tosses in images which never let you forget this is not Earth. The story covers his difficulties training (he had never even been up in a plane before and the fighter-plane "first flight" scene is amazing). He develops a love-interest who is a street-preacher, but she does indirectly inspire him to do and say more than to just shoot into space. His associates struggle with a government stringing the space-program along for certain reasons entirely unrelated to the wish to explore. The characters overcome many difficulties to succeed in the end. I think it recaptures the thrill the world felt about the Apollo Moon landing but translated to a bizarre new setting.

Esta película es una de las primeros trabajos de Gainax, i aunque es un poco titubeante como ópera prima, sigue siendo tan estimulante como en los ochenta

内容は国内版と同じです。
PS3でも問題なく再生できます。
画質は皆さんが言うとおりゴミ等の荒さもありますがDVDに比べて遥かに綺麗だと思います。
音声もクリアで非常に聞き取りやすく、英語字幕ももちろん消せます。
国内版より半額以上に安いのでパッケージ等気にしない方はこちらをオススメします。

北米版ブルーレイディスクの視聴方法についてのレヴューです
Reviewed in Japan on September 22, 2018
これまで数枚のブルーレイ北米版を購入した経験がありますが、同じリージョンコードなので、問題なく見る事ができました。しかしこのディスクは最初に「ライセンスがアメリカとカナダに限定されている」という警告画面が出て、その後は全く見る事ができませんでした。
調べて見ると、2013年頃よりリージョンコードの他に、国別コードもチェックするソフトが発売されるようになっていたらしいです。幸いにも私のハードはLGのプレーヤー専用機で、国別コードの変更が可能でした。国別コードをJPからUSに変更することにより、無事に見る事ができました。
しかしここでまた次の問題。ソフト側のメニューで、言語が英語に固定され変更できません。日本語の選択肢はあるのですが、選択できない状態になっていました。字幕も同様で英語字幕を非表示にできないのです。しかしとにかく映画をスタートさせ、ハード側のメニューから言語と字幕の切り替えを試したところ、ビンゴ!でした。これで無事、日本語の音声と字幕無しで見る事ができました。
他のレビューにあるように、国別コード切り替えのないプレーヤーやレコーダーでは見られないので、注意が必要です。内容と価格については星5つですが、国別コード切り替えの必要がある事について全く説明が無かった点で星1つ減点。
