Sky Crawlers
In an alternate timeline, the world has seemingly achieved peace. Bereft of international conflicts, wars are now waged between private corporations in place of peaceful nations. Yuuichi Kannami, a recent transfer in Area 262, simply does his job as a contracted fighter pilot. However, the more time he spends at his new base, the more mysteries come to light. The Sky Crawlers exhibits this reality through the eyes of Kannami as he endeavors to understand the "Kildren," humans genetically altered to be teenagers forever with faster reflexes, and his predecessor, the ace pilot known as "Teacher." However, what troubles Kannami the most is how all this connects to the base commander, Suito Kusanagi. Area 262 has the answers, but the truth comes with a price the young pilot may not be ready to pay. (Source: MAL Rewrite)

--- # __~~~War’s Uncertain Inevitability~~~__ --- Mamoru Oshii is an undoubtedly talented director, and a seemingly quite troubled, introspective person. This leads him to utilize his film-making less as form of entertainment and more as a vehicle to reflect upon the tensions within his own mind an…
Read full review on AniList →Mamoru Oshii's _The Sky Crawlers_ is an inaccessible film. By his own admission, it wasn't something that lent itself to the international stage, unlike his work on _Ghost In The Shell_. It's themes and indeed its intent are harder to discern, but beneath the surface is a piece of media that begs t…

Sky Crawlers es una película atemporal, no importa el año producida, y aunque por culpa de…
Read full review on AniList →A meditative immersion in dull routine and mannerisms, _The Sky Crawlers_ is (while not immediately apparent) existential and optimistic. The world is at war, and modified, eternal youths called Kildren are used as pilots. Ace pilot Kannami (Ryo Kase) is among these and stationed at a new airbase wh…
