Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
If at times too opaque for its own good, The Sky Crawlers is nonetheless a dark, engagingly surreal thought-provoker animated with Oshii's customary grace and flair.

Rating: 7/10 --
The aerial action has been carefully crafted for excitement and offer impressive scenes of skylines full of fighter planes: the mix of CGI and 2D animation give depth and a gloss that would make Michael Bay proud.

Product Description:
From the director of the iconic sci-fi anime THE GHOST IN THE SHELL comes this stunning vision of a world in which eternally youthful fighter pilots lose their innocence after being foisted into a war they’re too young to even fully grasp. Innocence is lost in the most dizzying manner imaginable when one such fighter pilot, a teenage boy named Yuichi whose childhood memories consist only of visions of combat, begins to question the fate of the soldier he’s replacing.
Product Description:
From MAMORU OSHII, the world-acclaimed director of Ghost in the Shell comes an award-winning story of an exciting but endless war with heroes too young to understand the meaning of their battles. A group of eternally young fighter pilots known as Kildren experience the sudden loss of innocence as they battle the enemy in astonishing dogfights above the clouds. With his only childhood memory consisting of intense flight training, the fearless teenage pilot Yuichi's dogfights coexist with his struggle to find his missing past. When his beautiful, young female commander Suito is reluctant to discuss the fate of the pilot that Yuichi is replacing - or the strangely perfect condition of that pilot's former aircraft - Yuichi's curiosity becomes heightened.
