The first moving images from Sky Crawlers are out, the new flick from anime god Mamoru Oshii. Don’t know an awful lot about it at this point, apart from it’s based on a Japanese novel by Hiroshi Mori about fighter pilots in an alternate history setting. Nice. Looks great, with both the plot and the little we see of the mechanical designs, it kind of reminds me of The Wings of Honneamise – which is certainly no bad thing, it being one of my favourite anime movies. To say I’m looking forward to this one would be one hell of an understatement…
