battle tech took the story from "Fang of the sun Dougram" for the most part, along with designs from there and other anime like macross, FSS is based on the original Ideas that Mamoru nagano had planned for the anime "heavy metal L-gaim" (1984) and later started publishing his manga from 1986
Can not imagine this legendary master piece was made in 1989, 32 years ago and the author Mamoru Nagano is now 61 years old. Simply the best along with Macross Do you remember love...
Just finished watching this movie. If you’ve never seen it, this music vid/trailer/whatever gives the entire movie away, including the single mecha battle. It is very ambitious though, and the movie relates to only a fraction of the entire saga
Mid 80s to early 00s anime will never be matched, just like the Disney Renaissance. It was the peak of the analog era, before cg and computers took over everything. Traditional animation studios were at the height of their powers.
@@Neo-Midgarwe live ina. Dark age of japanese animation, it looks so lame, no contrast, no lije variation, bland looking while being oversaturated at the same time, just compare the hunter x hunter animation from the 90s to the newer one, no contest
That's some impressive animation. I honestly thought the mech was CGI, but no it's cel drawn with airbrushing techniques. It's amazing what animators were able to pulled off, before digital paint and CGI.
@@michaelcortez1531 Sincerely disagree, it's just a completely different set of mechanical skills required for story telling. Just like you can't toss a pen in the hands of a CG modeler and expect him to be able to animate traditionally, you can't just toss a traditional animator CAD and expect him to be able to make something of merit.
That's why that era was called the Golden age of animation. nowadays, all you need is to tween the animation since they already have a fully rigged model and barely draw those poses, that's why some looked cheap. I mean they're paid cheap as well.
From the moment I opened my first Newtype magazine that helped boost my Anime journey, seeing the promotion for Five Star Stories imbued wonder in me. Hadn’t watched or read it until last year. The artwork for the series is legendary I think. The movie was ok, but Im glad the ost pulled through.
One of the first anime I ever saw (vhs) No subtitles, and I couldn't read or speak a word of the Japanese. Furthermore the mixture of costume types and settings was wonderfully random. That said, this short movie left deep impressions that linger for me to this day. I especially loved the way temple knights fought and the brief one-sided fight by the Gold Knight encapsulated well in this video. No long drawn out fight, just a nearly dismissive removal of the enemy mechs and carrier craft by the radically higher tier side. Only film of this era which left similar memories was the original version of 'Sol Bianca', which had the advantage of telling a somewhat more obvious story than the deeply convoluted 'Five Star Stories' universe.
La animación de esta ova es impresionante, mucho mejor todavía que el cgi de algunos animes actuales, mi duda es si esta obra es del mangaka Satoshi Urushihara??
The movie is 1 hour 6 minutes long. Robot fights last for 50 seconds. That is actually logical in real life. 1 move and it is over, as opposed to 4 minutes within a 20 minutes of the old fashion robot fight which is a tit for tac until one of the robots run out of weapons. Oh, I always think that FSS is a shoujo manga/anime in mecha clothes. You don't get into the robot screens until you have watched from the start for 1 hour, before you have that 50 seconds action. Even the ending theme song is longer than the fight.
Sir Dave David Donald Davidson Read the manga. Five Star Stories is one of the most deeply realized, textured science fiction epics in any medium. The plot and world-building is insane.
@@CorruptedBat Five Star Stories is the Dune of Manga. And it was one of the manga mentioned in episode 20 of "That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime". So yes.
The person behind FSS is a guy. He did an interview in Forbes, I think, a few years ago. Soon after Gothicmade released. He said he felt weird continuing the Lachesis / Ameterasu plot after this film released. Didn't explain what he meant by that though. But that's why he took up other stories in the FSS setting.
