The Cockpit

Author: City Hunter
Date review submitted: October 4, 2002

When I finally got a hold of this anime, it didn't disappoint! Based on Leiji Matsumoto's manga, Takahashi Ryousuke, Imanishi Takashi, and Yoshiaki Kawajiri, create three great storylines of World War II.

"Stratospheric Currents", is about the Germans' attempt to create the first atomic weapon. In it, is also a man's decision: if he wants to be the first to sell his soul to the devil or not.

"Sonic Thunder Attack Team" is about a different type of Kamikaze pilot, who will fly his rocket-powered coffin into the American fleet. Also, it is about how if the war never started, what he wished he could have accomplished.

In the final episode, "Steel Dragon", two highly "typical" Matsumotoesque characters ride off into the sunset, in order to fulfill two wishes. One, for a young boy to return to his friends he left behind, and the other, for an old man to get one last chance at finishing a race.

I believe, that for anyone who is interested in WW2 history, this is a must-see anime that ranks up there alongside "Barefoot Gen", and "Grave of the Fireflies".
