Review of Sol Bianca

Sol Bianca (1990 Video)
Fine example of post-"Akira" Japanese animation
19 November 1999
My favorite scene in the movie takes place when one of the lady pirates dons a space suit, floats over to an artificial planetary ring, sets up a wicked-looking sniper rig, and starts raining down energy bolts on unfortunate bad guys several kilometers down, precipitating an exciting escape attempt.

Another was when one of the main characters explains to the ruler of the planet exactly why it is that they will not trade their ship for their lives. Very Japanese, but with a hint of Ayn Rand.

Really liked the gals. Nice production design as well. And the music added to the interest.

This first episode was great. I hope more will be forthcoming. (If the weak second installment did not doom the franchise!)
