Dragon's Heaven (1988 Video)
8/10
A great anime tribute to Moebius
27 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A gorgeous-looking anime short for video made during the eigthies, heavily influenced by the aesthetic from Moebius comics, particularly in the very stylish way sceneries and mechanical designs are depicted.

The plot might be somewhat basic, but is entertaining enough, and it kinda left wishing for more. The final battle against the main antagonist was a bit anticlimatic taking consideration all the previous build-up, but I guess such resolution might been a product of the short lenght of this film. (As much as I admite the love and dedication put in the live-action prologue featuring giant robot models, I kinda wish more time has been given to the anime itself, which probably would have helped the plot)

This is how Moebius comics should have been adapted into animation, instead of the stiff Flash visuals from Arzak Rhapsody.
