You've seen the kits, now see them in action.
I will definitely have to watch this one.

[Jschmus]

I've had this one in my Netflix queue ever since I heard it was coming out.  I've only watched the first little bit of the scene, and I like the twin-engine pushers.  I've seen the kits of the Shinden lookalike, but I wouldn't mind seeing one of those.

There's some rather interesting aircraft in there... the tanker looked almost like a bigger Beriev design.  Here's a few others I noticed that looked interesting:

4:44 - Pusher Twin-tail heavy fighter
3:26 - YB-49 with attitude
5:30 - Pusher HE-177 Turboprop?
0:36 - Twin Engine Canard Pusher

I couldn't help but think of the 155-esque one as a turboprop because look at the front of the engines - they have intakes almost like a turboprop design.  The Really heavy bombers are  a lot like the B-49, but with contra-props, and the nose is very different, almost Heinkel-esque for the framed look, or like a B-39.  The Twin-engine Canard aircraft seem to have been a tactical bomber design - not a bad optimization of all that open fuselage space really.  The Pusher twin-tail at 4:44 reminded me of a 110, but it was obviously single seat and all forward in armament layout.

Thanks for the link. I'd heard of the film and seen a few stills, but nothing else.

The mix of 2D and 3D animation strikes me as odd; is it par for the course for films like this?

[Sauragnmon]

Consider, it's not so uncommon as it might seem - mainstream animated shows these days do the same, blending two and three dimensional - Futurama, for example, does this.

  Awesome!  I want to see that film! NOW!

No release date for Germany known yet. I wouldn't mind English dub, but the Regional Code is 1 - "US and Canada" only.

What an awesome bunch of aircraft  Thank you Philp

The Rostock aircraft carrier at 3:02 actually has an island superstructure that looks kinda like that of the Graf Zeppelin.

Found a couple more clips...

This one's got what looks like a P-51 on drugs, with an interesting bend to the wing in a somewhat Phantom-esque tip-up angle.

I thought there was another, but it was the same clip posted before.

The story is kind of strange but it's a good film.I have the DVD,I dont do Spoilers so dont ask too much the animation was done by the artist and studio that did the origional Ghost in the Shell movie as well as Jin Roh the Wolf Brigade Good stuff
