Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise Anime Aesthetic// Downtown Binary - Oort

[@ShadowGJ]

This anime's industrial design is most definitely on another level. The way they've made everything look alien yet recognizable (to some extent) is truly unique.

[@gurdimeikenskjaldi5060]

probably one of the greatest... uhm I would dare say it is the greatest worldbuilding effort I've ever seen in an anime!

[@phh2400]

True. But the propeller aircraft are definitely based on Japanese plane Shinden .

[@gurdimeikenskjaldi5060]

@@phh2400 nah, not really. But in the pilot promo they had a different design and that one yes, was more based on the Shinden

[@phh2400]

@@gurdimeikenskjaldi5060 "not really?" it is modified so it is not look exactly same... cockpit, bigger engine intake, two propellers, different wheels, yes.. but the overall shape and the canard placement, propeller at aft and the rudder placement on wings - well that's still Shinden underneath. What the jet plane look like to you? I see it as a modified Crusader (front) and EE Lighting (fuel tank placement on top of wings) again in canard design.

[@gurdimeikenskjaldi5060]

@@phh2400 it's only the concept but if you look well at it that plane has the structure of a modern post 1960 jet fighter, while the shinden has the layout as a typical WW2 figther with the cockpit placed in a more central area. And has no big intake. I think it's not directly inspired but a sort of evolutionary convergence. I can't do much here (I'm on phone with bad Internet sorry xO) the movie pilot promo has a different design that resembles a biiiiiiiit more the Shinden. At least the silhouette. About the cool jet fighter I have no idea tbh, I didn't imagine any close inspiration but gotta say the crusader has some elements in common!

[@NorthSea_1981]

The artwork & design of this 1987 anime film are absolutely fantastic. This is one of the best classic hand-drawn animes ever made.

[@rayroc5938]

One of the greatest movies ever made.I still remember the first time I saw it, and that opening scene of Shirotsugh wading through the snow. I'm now nearly 70 and it still gives me a thrill to see the flying scenes. Of course Ryuichi Sakamoto's music was stunning. Long live Japanese anime!

[@drednorzt]

For anyone who hasn't seen the film, its absolutely spectacular. You owe yourself the privilege of seeing this masterpiece. Absolutely no idea why it isn't more well known.

[@NothingXemnas]

Earth-grounded military anime of any kind, if it isn't "comical/hysteric", doesn't make it to the masses. Pretty much why Girls und Panzer is the only one to become widespread enough. Violet Evergarden ALSO made it into mainstream, but mostly because Kyoto Animation did it. Gundam and Yamato don't count because they are much more a space fiction. 86, Arpeggio, Skycrawlers, nothing works...

[@sa-lt8ks]

Because it's a VHS release and there ain't no big ass titles or over sexualized themes.

[@ohcrap3263]

The fact that they do this during an attack is awesome, the direction and the artwork are stunning

[@bettyswunghole3310]

The detail of the retro-tech is amazing. Clearly done by someone with a profound understanding of engineering.

[@Entropydemic]

This is my actual favorite movie that I still own since first seeing it during my childhood just under thirty years ago. Out of all the animations and movies and japanese anime that I've ever seen, Royal Space Force Wings of Honneamise continues to surpass the feeling any other thing I have seen. I enjoy seeing this to modern music, it gives me a weird feeling of bliss. I am one day away from my vacation, and I will be watching the entire film uninterrupted again (If I recall the movie is three hours long) this Saturday for the first time since my twenties.

[@Mugthraka]

Animation like this is like Ancient Art Its something that will never be done ever again, its a remarkable stone/landmark in animation, its an aesthetic and style that is intemporal, and will be duplicated but never Passed. Its a testimony to the talent and work of these craftsmen that will be frozen in time where we look back at it fondly and with marvel in our eyes, but we know deep down, that this is it, there will never be something like it ever again.

[@zetamafia911]

This is incredibly well done.

[@NorthSea_1981]

Fun fact: The makers of this anime from Gainax actually confirmed ages ago, that this anime‘s story doesn’t take place on our Earth (or an alternate version of it), but instead on an Earth-like planet in the Alpha Centauri system. The characters are basically human-adjacent so to speak…long distant relatives.

[@kakakiri2601]

And their technology equivalent with earth in 60s

[@NorthSea_1981]

@@kakakiri2601Exactly 👍👍

[@haruchai]

I watched this many years ago and was amazed at the imagination, the writing etc. The rocket taking off in the middle of the battle is just incredible. It reminded me of something I read as a kid, that every astronaut that goes into space returns with an altered perspective, they consider themselves to be citizens of the world because they have seen our planet without borders.

[@AbelMcTalisker]

One of the fascinating things about this film is how the animators try to avoid using rectangular shapes as much as possible when designing the architecture and technology. It shows that the people of this world may look at the universe slightly differently than we do.

[@Someone-yd3yt]

I love the aesthetic of analog future tech

[@NorthSea_1981]

Well, in the movie, this humanoid civilization on their earth-like exoplanet has a technological level comparable to 50s/60s on Earth, that’s why it seems very analogue and retro. Studio Gainax did such a great job with these aesthetics and technical details.

[@eastindiaV]

Retrofuturism, it's going to an era in time, and studying the technology and industrial process, and making advanced machines with it, with a modern understanding of science. Steam Punk is a form of Retrofuturism. 1890s.. early 1900s.. You could do modern Retrofuturism and make hover tanks with laser turrets. It's within the realm of possibilities.

[@cesargonzalez4146]

The real life equivalent of the propeller aircrafts shown in this movie is the J7W Shinden.

[@AbelMcTalisker]

Not really, There may be a little Shinden influence in there in the canard wing arrangement but there are a LOT of differences. In this world, canards and flying wings seem to be the norm in aircraft design.

Way back then, Japanese animators, made Disney, look like Hana-Barbera studios, in the quality of thier work.

[@TerraStory225MYA]

@@theeldenman I would say that Japanese anime is stronger with aesthetics and industrial design, but Disney's animation is far smoother and more realistic than anything produced by anime studios. Both are amazing, and there's no need to sh*t on either Japanese animation or American animation. There are talented and skillful animators in both places.

[@endeyfire]

i would say they still do but that implies disney animates still.

[@Balabok]

The difference between animating on 1's compared to the industry standard of 2's is that it requires more time and money, but the results are stunning!!

[@kenji214245]

What hurts is that once digitalisation arrived with the intention of making this cheaper and easier to achieve they instead opted for streamlining and reducing the quality to faster pump of out the soulless fan-service/fan-fiction heavy crap we see today even faster. It is even sadder that the ratio between high quality animation vs low quality animation has gotten worse not better. :(

You know what bothers me? People saying all it takes to make good anime is hand draw it. Nonsense. The animes of 80s and 90s look good not because they're drawn by hand, they look good cus they're made by best artists that drew by hand. There aren't many artists with such a high skill today. So even if they started doing it by hand it would still not look as good.
