I mistook the creator of the manga titles for VHD and DCS for director Yoshiaki Kawajiri. Okay, on with the show. War is hell. Nevertheless, it is one of the most popular hells in all of filmdom. And it's not just here in the States.
War is one of the more popular topics for filmmakers around the world.
So it should not surprise anyone that it's also popular for anime makers. This week's selection, 1989's Venus Wars , combines science fiction with the traditional war story. Created by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko and Yuichi Sasamoto, it tells the tale of a colonized Venus in the late 21st Century. All of these nations want complete control of the planet and move against one another-eventually sending the planet into civil war. The movie starts as only two states, Ishtar and Aphrodia, have established a terse truce.
