"Rival pilots, a rogue AI idol, gorgeous dogfights"
Two rival test pilots, once close friends, are reunited on a remote planet to fly a new fighter jet, only for old tensions to reignite when the woman they both loved turns up as producer for a virtual pop idol whose AI is growing unnervingly independent. Across just four episodes it moves fast and hits hard: moody, macho rivalry blended with eerie techno-thriller sci-fi, gorgeous fluid animation, and a score that still gets talked about decades later. It's dense, moody, and visually stunning rather than sprawling or plot-heavy.
the stunning aerial animation and Yoko Kanno's score, still among anime's best.
you want a sprawling series instead of a tight, moody four-episode character drama.
