For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, we are finally fishing our multi-year Jojo odyssey with the last two episodes of Part 6, Stone Ocean. Yep, it’s over. I bet these last two eps will still have a lot of posing and punching, though.

After that is Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise (1987), Studio Gainax’s feature debut, and still one of their better-regarded works. In a quasi-steampunk dystopian future where the eponymous Kingdom of Honneamise and a neighboring republic are on the verge of war, a young man and astronaut candidate seeks to use the awe-inspiring wonder of space travel to stop the world from destroying itself. Will the kingdom’s space program succeed and bring the world together? I guess we’ll find out. This is Hiroyuki Yamaga’s only feature-film director credit, though he did also helm the legendary Daicon IV (1983) short and worked on Gurren Lagann (2007), as well.

Next is Ferngully: The Last Rainforest (1992), one of the better-known Disney knockoff cartoons of the 90s. A fairy shrinks a human boy down to her size to enlist his help against the greedy capitalists who want to destroy her forest to build some polluting buildings instead. Notable for Tim Curry’s performance as a sentient, singing blob of goo. Robin Williams voices a bat, too. This is director Bill Kroyer’s only feature-film credit; he is a one-hit wonder. Let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
