Description:
It's seldom that an animated film achieves the rank of instant classic. GALL FORCE—ETERNAL STORY is one of those films. Prior to GALL FORCE, American-style "hard science fiction" had never been successfully animated. After seeing The Terminator for the first time, writer Hideki Kakinuma (well known for his design work on the cult classic Megazone 23 and the TV series Modpeda, basis of the American Robotech) vowed to create an equally powerful animated feature film. As a result of GALL FORCE's success, the "hard" sci-fi trend led to the creation of such best-sellers as Appleseed, Dominion and Bubblegum Crisis.
 Most groundbreaking was GALL FORCE's complex visual presentation, due to Kakinuma's collaboration with renowned manga artist Kenichi Sonoda. Beginning as the serialized photo-story "Star Front Gall Force" in Model Grafix magazine, their remarkable work captured the attention of then-fledgling animation studio Artmic, which created GALL FORCE as its first fully realized feature production. The enduring appeal of GALL FORCE is evident from the commanding position Artmic continues to hold in the Japanese animation world.
 Scriptwriter Sukehiro Tomita (Macross, Mospeda) is responsible for GALL FORCE's sharp-edged plot and characterizations, while director Katsuhiro Akiyama infused the film with a gut-busting, tough action style greatly responsible for the incredible acclaim won by this story of an all-woman space warrior crew.

Somewhere deep in space, an ancient war rages between the all-female Solnoid race and the biomechanical Paranoid civilization. Ordered to their newly created home-world, Chaos, in the 9th Star System, the seven surviving crew members of the Solnoid cruiser "Star Leaf" are cut off from the rest of their fleet.
 As they battle their way to Chaos, the young women find themselves pawns in the plans of the high commands of BOTH sides. What they learn when they reach the new world will shake their loyalty to its very foundations. And the final decision they must make will affect not only the future of their race but of a race yet to be! Evocative of an all-female Magnificent Seven, with overtones of Star Wars and Alien, GALL FORCE will take you on an adventure from which you'll never want to return. GALL FORCE—ETERNAL STORY remains one of the most popular anime titles ever made, and U.S. Manga Corps™ is proud to present it to the English-speaking world.
