The character designs were done by Yoshikata Amano, so that's why. :v:

It is, in fact! Amano did a bunch of work on Angel's Egg, including character designs.

Yeah. Individually they're not long so it's only like 2 and a half hours-ish total. I figure might as well have this thing go out with a bang.

I'll be able to watch Angel's Egg alongside the thread, but I'll be at work during Aim for the Ace. I'm very excited for both!

Windaria was good but not great. Mind Game was really cool and I'll need to watch it again. Thanks for choosing cool films, Srice.

Maybe I'll actually be able to watch this poo poo with y'all this weekend.

I love the look of 70's shojo stuff. Although Dezaki adapted so many of those maybe its his style I like.

i watched it like 3 hours ago and i feel like you guys are far enough in the film that i can say that i like the mcs friend. she's cool. visuals mostly are too, some people's eyes looked really weird on occasion and the guys are all made out of the same mold which was unfortunate. but yeah, nice visuals. lots of experimental stuff going on

Good.

I can tell that unless someone is deathly allergic to sports, if they liked Gunbuster they should get some enjoyment out of Aim for the Ace!

I figure he's probably more interesting in the full series, but for the movie he takes attention away from Coach~~~

The tennis matches were definitely the highlight of this for me, the amount of motion they managed to convey with relatively primitive 70's animation techniques was amazing. The rest seemed to suffer from being a condensed form of the original series and I can't say I particularly cared about anyone, Oka in particular seems to spend most of the film falling over and getting hit by balls.
