Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Royal Space Force 王立宇宙軍 (retitled The Wings of Honneamise オネアミスの翼 by its distributor on its initial release) is a feature-length anime movie produced by Gainax and directed by Hiroyuki Yamaga. With a budget of 8 billion yen, this film was one of the most expensive works of anime ever produced, yet did not do well when initially released to theatres. The story is set in a world similar to our own, with 1950s technology. Shiro Ladat is an unmotivated young man who has drifted into his nation's lackadaisical space program. After the death of another astronaut and meeting a religious young woman, Shiro volunteers to be the first person launched into space. His training as an astronaut parallels his coming of age, as well as surviving unreliable technology and assassination attempts. Meanwhile, war is brewing with a neighboring nation.
