Memories - 彼女の想いで
Memories is a three part anthology of sci-fi stories by Otomo Katsuhiro, released in 1995 by Studio 4°C. Over the next three weeks I shall be releasing a review for each, as they are self-contained stories and I feel it would be unjust to review them as a unit. The first of these, Magnetic Rose, had its screenplay written by Satoshi Kon, and was directed by Koji Morimoto.
A team of deep space salvage workers receive a distress signal from the graveyard of space. There they find an enormous station that is haunted by the ghosts of the past.
This film takes place in deep space, far away from any atmosphere and the spacecraft follow a more realistic style, meaning that because they are not restrained by aerodynamic drag, they do not look like airplanes.
The interior decoration of the ship is that of Victorian England, Rococo France, or some similar pre-airplane fashion, reflecting the fact that the Lady of the station was a famous opera singer. Her memories, and the memories she brings out of the others, reflect this sensibility, and so there are not even planes in the flashbacks and remembering.
The total lack of airplanes means that Magnetic Rose gets Zero airplanes out of Five.

もののけ姫
Princess Mononoke is a historical fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli, released on the 12th of July, 1997.
Ashitaka, an Emishi prince, is cursed by a mad god while protecting his village. Banished, he must travel west to save his life, and ends up in the middle of a conflict among gods and men.
This film is set in roughly 1400’s Japan, which meant that I knew it was on shaky footing to begin with, but I held hope in my heart anyway. This was Studio Ghibli we are talking about after all, and more importantly Hayao Miyazaki. I have gone on record stating that “Miyazaki is good at airplanes.” He can normally seamlessly incorporate them in his works, and capture such a raw form of their appeal that it is truly striking. Unfortunately, in this movie, he does no such thing. Over the two hour runtime of this movie there is not a single airplane, fantastical or otherwise, nor is there even friendly flying god or dragon to give Ashitaka a lift. Out of every Miyazaki movie that I have seen, this one is by far the worst.
Princess Mononoke
does a great job damaging Miyazaki’s credibility, both as an airplane guy and as an artist, and earns itself a big, fat zero out of five airplanes.

アグレッシブ烈子
Aggretsuko (Aggressive Retsuko in Japanese) is an office comedy ONA based on characters by Yeti for the mascot company Sanrio. It was written and directed by Rarecho and produced by Fanworks.
The anime follows the daily life of Retsuko, a twenty-five year old office lady who hates her job. She secretly sings death metal karaoke to quench her rage while trying to find some way out.
Despite some talk early on in the show about a friend being a world traveler, there is nothing to bite into here. Retsuko lives a normal life working at a normal office, so right off the bat I knew there was not much of a chance, but even so I held out for maybe a vacation or business trip. Neither happened, and so there was never the opportunity for an airplane to become plot-relevant to this show. Even the characters that are birds do not fly around, they walk and take the train just like everyone else.
For its complete lack of flying, Aggretsuko gets Zero planes out of Five.
