mr. Unkai I beg you to please put the whole OVA series here in youtube. Thank you.

@markvinas31 To be honest, I think it's a waste of time because stuff gets taken down all the time and full versions probably get more attention.

can u put the whole ova series on youtube

[unkai9]

That's about 30 10 minute youtube clips. That's a bit rough. I can't make any promises. It would be easier if youtube allowed full length.

@LSKennedy78 Ha ha, I always joked that the MiG-21 pilot that killed Nyugen was the same one that shot down Shins F-8 Crusader and got away alive, I would like to think the Rebel Forces had its own Ace, ha ha ha. Hell, Nyugen was good shootin down parachuted pilots but this guy...this guy freakin shoots Nyugen down WHILST being ejected, now that's some skill.

Area 88 is a classic anime. It may be highly underated even today, but its still a classic.

@Grummsh00 I think I remember the scene; it was after he had to shoot down Jess from his section, right? I think I remember reading that all of the Area 88 pilots were outnumbered and Shin was essentially flying into a death-trap.

[Grummsh00]

@acechris89 Actually I just remembered something. That twisted grin of his after he says "GO" is significant. He did it earlier when he threatened Nyugen in an earlier scene. It shows that he is lost and is now nothing but a killer.

@Grummsh00 No suprise there, they didn't like outside influence so they didn't get much hardwear and you suck up too the Commies and they give you all ya need! You just sell your soul in return!

Well it is his brother and uncle though and you'd think they may not do that too their blood as no issues were between them.

[Grummsh00]

@CaptainGaruda He literally says "GO" in the Japanese version as well. Maybe the word has some kind of significance in that language...? 

[Grummsh00]

@xraidedlok the original anime of Area 88. What you watched had to be remade from SOMETHING...

[Grummsh00]

@JPUP1697 How did he even get an F-20 in the first place?

[Grummsh00]

@TheGroundedAviator The mercenaries did astoundingly well for the Asran government, but the government lost on all other fronts (ie their regular forces). In the end there is nothing left except Area 88, and the rebels can afford to concentrate all their resources on them.

Saki's character is not heavily detailed in this version of the story, so him expecting to be killed for treason is not too far-fetched.

[Grummsh00]

@jakicevic Basically Shin is released from his contract and flies to Paris to meet his girlfriend Ryouko at a cafe. While going to the cafe some men attempt to rob him and Shin nearly beats them to death. At that point he realizes that he is a killer and can never go back to the life he had. He never meets her and instead returns to his comrades and what is probably his death.

There are at least three different endings for this series. This is definitely the darkest one.

[Grummsh00]

@lepepelepube The irony is that he also has a metal leg and that he had earlier survived ejecting from another plane because he was able to remove it.

THE F-14 DIES ? THAT SUCKS
