Battle Fairy Yukikaze

There are many sci-fi anime titles that are not so much known to everyone, like let's say Gundam. In a way it makes you feel somewhat proud of yourself, when you find something good that others haven't. We would like to share one of these super-cool anime that is not so widely known. This is Yukikaze, pure brain twister with very beautiful animation and very real sound effects.

Yukikaze was directed by Masahiko Okura who has worked on many popular titles like, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Blue Submarine No 6. The OVAs were created in GONZO animation studios an based on a novel by Chohei Kanbayashi. There isn't much to say about these people, their portfolios and various awards say more than enough, they are respected all over the place.

The story begins with a novel writer telling a story about the present times. The book is about events that took place over years.

A dimensional portal appeared in Antarctica a few decades ago with alien life only known a JAM. Although United-Nation forces managed to defend earth and push these beings back into the portal to a place humans called "Fairy". For the public, war was long over, but the battle on the Fairy caries on to this day. Lieutenant Rei Fukai is the pilot of a unique fighter jet Super Slyph B-503. It is equipped with state technology and a near sentinent AI referred to as Yukikaze. The rest you will have to find out for yourselves, the pleasure of watching Yukikaze never fades.


This anime doesn't have a big cast, just a few characters and lots of fighter jets. You may feel a lack of female character, but once your over that, the OVAs are very enjoyable to watch. The main character, Rei Fukai is very relaxed character and unresponsive while James Bukhar, Rei's superior is very tense and stressed character.

Being a sci-fi anime fan, cyberpunk steampunk fan you really can't complain about this dark anime. The scenarios are not less than amazing. Yukikaze and other fighters which are just amazing to watch, especially when they are testing a new engine, that episode is our favorite. GONZO have once again produced very high quality work that can only be praised.

We liked the music soundtrack very much, it fits Yukikaze just perfectly. They were closely collaborating with Japanese Air Force, Youkikaze's sound effects are eardrum blowing. They have been working very hard to produce these results. We can only give a big score for this soundtrack.

In a quick recap, we recommend Battle Fairy Yukikaze to anyone who is looking for not only a pretty anime with lots and lots of explosions, but also for a mind twisting scenario. Five episodes with first and last lasting for over 40 minutes, the only reason you shouldn't get this cool sci-fi anime would be, because you have no extra cash.

Thank you for reading, we hope you enjoyed reading our reviews.
