Yukikaze, Vol. 3 - Evacuation [DVD]

I love this series and wish some studio would pick up this title and continue the story. The relationship between the jet, Yukikaze, and it's pilot, Rei Fukai, should be explored more and its origin developed. The aliens also known as The Jam are attacking the Earth base and everything about them is mysterious. This is a very intriguing story that is way too short.

Strange ending to the story.

The ending was kindda suprising the way it ended.There could have added more to the ending than the way it did.If you mlike the series get it for the collection,but if your not don't get it.

Good

A dimensional portal was opened 33 years ago. Aliens known as The JAM came through and attacked Earth. The military was able to drive them back to their home world, where the fight continues. Lt. Fukai pilots a jet with an advanced AI on board. It is called Yukikaze. The war is at a stalemate, but the existence of Yukikaze could turn things around. It may be a blessing, or even a curse. One thing is certain. The war is about to end.This anime is very strange. I think that it's one of those that will likely create huge fans or ardent naysayers. I have mixed feelings. I think that the plot was pretty well done. It's a lot like Robotech. The major flaw with this series is the character development. A series as short as this doesn't really have much chance to develop good characters. None of the characters have any personality. They are empty and lifeless, except for Major Bukhar. The story moves very slowly, but manages to keep you relatively interested in what is going to happen next.The production quality is very good for a series from 2002. The animation, voice acting, soundtrack, and plot are very well done. They obviously took care to make a quality product. It's not a bad series, it's just not my cup of tea. I like characters with lots of emotion and depth, in addition to a great story. If you feel the same as me, you should probably avoid this title.When I first started watching Yukikaze, I gave up after episode 1. It was very strange and moved very slow. After a couple of months, I stared again at episode 2. Things start to get more normal, and the series gains a little depth. Even so, the lack of character depth and drama makes it an average watch in my opinion. Like I said before, I think most will either love it or hate it. I can't recommend buying this OVA before you've seen it. I think you should watch it online before spending your money. I kind of wish that I had. I can't see myself watching it again. I'll probably sell this DVD.

Has it really been two and a half years since the first episode was released in Region 1? Well, for the patient fans of Yukikaze, we got something that was certainly worth the wait. It is an ending that totally fits the introspective, exploratory, and action filled earlier episodes in a way that is both touching yet grander than just about anything I have seen. The final conflict truly combines scope and grace into something you are not likely to forget.

Lt Rei Fukai will try to do his best to fight the evil Jam army so he can be a hero see how it will turn out. I hate to see the FAF forces are ordered to evacuate back through the passageway

AFTER ALL THE WAITING THE LAST EPISODE JUST FALLS FLAT. THE ART AND STORY BOTH DO NOT MATCH THE QUALITY OF THE FIRST TWO VOLUMES. IF YOU CAN RENT IT OR BORROW IT FROM A FRIEND SAVE YOUR MONEY. I WISH I HAD.

The series ended suddenly and strangely.
