Yukikaze
I found it to be lacking in everything I thought I would be viewing. Witch was airplane combat and fighting, plot went no ware.

Pretty good!
When I first watched this anime.. I wasn’t very interested. It seemed well, rather boring. I’ve watched it 3 times now total and i’m starting to understand it alot better.

Plenty of action and plot to go around
Whoever said there was no plot and a lack of combat sequences in the first 2 epsisodes is completely wrong.

All in all, pretty good science fiction (4.5/5)
Yukikaze is the tale of a forgotten war on another planet, connected to Earth by an anvil-shaped cloud in Antarctica.

This review is from: Yukikaze - Danger Zone (Vol. 1) (DVD)

Yukikaze is, simply put, one of the best anime I've seen in some time. Based on a 1987 science fiction bestseller (in Japan; it was never published in the US), Yukikaze tells the story of a war fought between mankind and a mysterious alien race known only as JAM. The battles take place on a faraway planet called Fairy (accessible via a strange cloud near the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica). While the war has been going on for over thirty years, the majority of the population on Earth believes the JAM threat is just an urban legend.
The intense action scenes are balanced with a focus on the characters. However, you will have to pay attention when watching Yukikaze--it is not for casual viewers. Fans of science fiction, high adventure, or aircraft buffs should give this series a look. Another fantastic work from GONZO.

If you like Robotech, you’ll love YuKikaze
First, great price for a 3 DVD set.
YuKikaze has an incredible and top of the line animation. The flight action sequences are really intense and well designed.

Im an electrician for the new super hornet currently. This film totally blew my mind with all the superb aircraft inovations. The acronyms, the radar altimeter sounds effects, the aero combats scenes, were down to a "T". Not to mention the ending theme song is pretty hip.If you love jets and new aerodynamic technology this series has it. This series is worth every penny. Now i hope Amazon can get there hands on "Macross Zero"...USA....u haven't seen nothing yet.........

I'm not particularly interested in fancy aircraft, military jargon, or realistic air combat, so most everything that gets mentioned in the same breath as Yukikaze is not my cup of...

WOW!

First Macross, Area 88, Macross Plus and now Yukikaze. The story is similar to these prior anime series focusing on the planes and the pilots troubles. The show graphically is beautiful, albeit a bit dark with muted colors. Some of the shots of the sunset/sunrise skies are just gorgeous. The CGI is well done.

The story is not overly original, man vs. machine, but the execution of the story is what makes it great. The characters are likeable and you feel sympathy for those who get shot down.

The action sequences are just great. It is a blast watching the planes turn and bank, shoot and get shot down, kick in the afterburners and do other arial acrobatics.

There was a scene in episode 1 that almost made my jaw drop, sort of something like Tony Hawk would, but with a plane.

I cannot wait until the rest of the series is out!

You need to get all of the series, it is short but would make a good movie if put togather.
