	Wings of Honneamise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Directed by Hiroyuki Yamaga, and with a budget of 800 million yen, this film was one of the most expensive works of anime ever produced, yet did not do well when initially released to theaters.
		The word "Honneamise" in the title comes partly from the Japanese word "honne," meaning "unshared insider understanding" of a particular subject or topic.
		Overall, Honneamise is an excellent study in the creation of another culture that is familiar, yet not familiar.

		Fans of Honneamise acclaim it as a critical meditation on the illusions and follies of the human race, which suggests that profundity, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
		The Story Synopsis and Characters: Honneamise is a kingdom rife with economic and social issues and all manner of dissatisfied political activists, and it remains without unity despite the constant threat of war from a neighboring nation.
		"Wings of Honneamise" ends profoundly and with a distinct message of warning to all those viewers who are willing to sit through a feature that is so true-to-life that it is decidedly unpleasant: There is strong language, sexual violence, and bloodshed in "Wings".

		Wings of Honneamise would claim that this is the way the Space Age might have begun.
		Wings of Honneamise has been translated and dubbed into English and began to make the rounds of art houses and college campuses in the fall of 1994.
		Trivia note from Carl by way of rec.arts.anime: the name "Honneamise" is pseudo-French combining the words "homme" for man (Japanese frequently changes "n" and "m") and "amis" meaning friends, thus "Honneamise" denotes comradeship.

		Wings has a lot of good things going for it, such as the persuasive artwork and animation, meticulous attention to detail, and the extensive research that must have gone into an endeavor such as this.
		Although Wings is pure fiction, the politics, bureaucracy, and media influence that are described in this movie bear more than a passing resemblance to the headlines gracing the paper during the time of the space race.
		However, as a stand-alone movie, Wings is still good viewing, but is spotty enough in places to keep it from being included among the best of the best.

		Honneamise is set in a world quite similar to our own.
		The majority of the action takes place in the kingdom of Honneamise, one of the many countries populating this world - a world that seems to be caught up in war and intrigue, much like our own.

	The Critical Eye \| Royal Space Force: Wings of Honneamise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		What the creators of Honneamise have done is to fabricate a world and characters so textured, the film cannot be adequately described in 25 words or less.
		In the unnamed country on Honneamise's unnamed world, the Royal Space Force is considered something of a joke, a near-useless organization run by crazy, dreaming old men.
		Honneamise, then, is a story not only of the evolution of this world's space program, but of the evolution of a single man. And the two are entwined well enough that you sometimes miss where one story ends and the other begins.

	Wings of Honneamise
		I recently re-watched WINGS OF HONNEAMISE, possibly the grandest, most spectacular anime which can be called an unequivocal commercial failure.
		WINGS OF HONNEAMISE is uncommon in virtually every way.

		Most of Honneamise's music was composed and performed by the trailblazing and world-renowned avant-garde musician and reluctant Japanese pop star, Sakamoto Ryuichi (Yellow Magic Orchestra, The Last Emperor, Gohatto).
		Honneamise's musical soundtrack is surely one of the greatest ever recorded, right up there with the scores to Akira, Night on the Galactic Railroad, and Tale of Genji.
		Wings of Honneamise is a film, in every sense of the word, and in every way that most Japanese Anime movies are not.

		He, like all of us, struggles with who he feels himself to be inside, who society wants him to be, and who he wants himself to be, battling disillusionment, apathy, and even nihilistic anger before he realizes that it's his destiny to become something special: a source of inspiration and hope to his earthbound fellows.
		Wings is a very HUMAN film, with deeply flawed characters who nevertheless are admirable, because they eventually transcend their flaws through their faith.
		If you're used to the fast-paced action of Dragonball Z or even Cowboy Bebop, Wings of Honneamise may be like a sudden dousing in ice water.

		The politicians of Honneamise have decided to use the fledgling space program as bait to draw an enemy attack upon the launch site.
		Meanwhile, Shiro struggles with his conscious as the spacecraft he will pilot will be used for military and political purposes and the fact that the money spent on the project could be used to house and feed the poor.

	AAW: Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise Review
		Simply put, Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise is one of the finest animated films ever made, and I would say one of the finest films ever made, period.
		Technically speaking, Wings of Honneamise is gorgeous, but as subtle as the plot.
		My only, very minor, complaint was the fact that most of it sounded synthesized (which seemed to be an only partially successful attempt to create sounds unlike insturments from earth, and was a bit disappointing considering the richness of the rest of the production), but that did not detract from the impressive composition.

		The Wings Of Honneamise was Gainax's first full-length feature, though it could have easily caused the entire studio to go bankrupt.
		The Wings Of Honneamise is produced much like a 30s melodrama, while maintaining an overall anime feel.
		Hiroyuki Yamaga is a brilliant director, The Wings Of Honneamise is a brilliant film.

	DVD Times - The Wings of Honneamise
		The Wings of Honneamise (preceded by 'Royal Space Force' in the US) is one of those landmark films that everyone should see at least once.
		Presented in Non-Anamorphic widescreen in the original language with English subtitles this is an interesting addition to this DVD that unfortunately lacks any kind of explanation as to why it was cut and where in the film it would have been seen (although you should be able to work that out upon viewing).
		As a film Honneamise ranks up there as one of my all time favourites and because of this I have no hesitation in recommending it to both the seasoned anime audience and the more adventurous film fan.

	Classic Science Fiction Reviews: Wings of Honneamise
		The fantastically rich cultural and sociological details make that clear, but they also give the story a great deal of realistic, human flavor.
		Of course, a piece this textured and this textually sophisticated needs imagery to match, and Wings doesn't disappoint there either.
		Wings is unusually mellow, but it's an extraordinarily intelligent and involved movie that has as much to say about humanity's nature as its scientific works.

		One of the remarkable qualities of Wings of Honneamise is that while the film depicts a fictitious world, it draws judiciously upon elements of our own sciences and cultures.
		The Space Age was launched with the liftoff of the SS-6 that put Sputnik 1 into orbit on October 4th, 1957--the first man-made satellite to orbit to earth.
		In an event that directly indicates why the SS-6 was chosen as the spacecraft basis for Honneamise, another SS-6 put Yuri Gagarin into orbit on April 12th, 1961--the first man in space.

		As I went into my twenties, Wings of Honneamise surpassed that and all others to become the film that I found myself indentifying with like no other had.
		I believe the common thread among the recent string of discs that did this is that they came from Rainmaker, a company rather infamous for their participation as the (sole?) authoring house for the now defunct Divx.
		In it's most basic form, Wings of Honneamise is about a world, similar to our own, and their first attempt at manned space flight.

		Wings of Honneamise is an exercise in execution of the highest caliber.
		It would have been too easy to have Wings of Honneamise follow the standard formula of "hero falls into despair, finds inner strength and true love, and eventually saves the world".
		Without being able to please everyone because of its slow pace and religious statements, Wings of Honneamise, through its all-round excellence and inspiring essence, is a movie that should at least be seen by every dreamer on this earth.

		Another of Honneamise's strong points is the humour.
		My only, very minor, complaint was the fact that most of it sounded synthesized (which seemed to be an only partially successful attempt to create sounds unlike instruments from earth, and was a bit disappointing considering the richness of the rest of the production), but that did not detract from the impressive composition.
		The world is amazing, the characters are intriguing, the plot is quiet but complex and engaging, and the overall theme is an extreme close-up on a sweeping tale of exploration and adventure.

		The level of the animation in the resulting feature, however surpassed the standard of the time.
		What was even more amazing than that, though, was the thoroughly realistic art style, which refuted every thought they knew about anime films: from the attention to detail in the animation itself, to the detail in what that is the Kingdom of Honneamise, and the utterly unheroic characters, all just ordinary people.
		Thanks to the overwelming sense of reality, the film transcended the grounds of anime films receiving great acclaim.
