The Five Star Stories Movie

In 1989 I was lucky enough to get my hands on a raw copy of Mamoru Nagano's "The Five Star Stories" (ファイブスター物語). At the time I was blown away by the detail and colors in the animation - not since Megazone23 Pt.

The Five Star Stories  takes place in the Joker Star Cluster. The cluster contains four stars: Eastern, Western, Southern and Northern. The 5th is a large comet named Stant that passes through the cluster every 1,500 years bringing with it a collection of orbiting planets.
