Ken Isaki, a hot-headed teen who spends his days competing in \"Monobike\" races, finds his carefree life shattered when Ishtar’s massive tanks roll into his city. Forced into the Aphodian resistance, Ken and his ragtag group of bikers must trade their racing circuits for a deadly battlefield. As a persistent journalist named Susan Sommers tries to uncover the truth behind the invasion, Ken realizes that surviving the Venusian desert requires more than just speed—it requires the courage to fight for a future on a world that was never meant for humans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThe Venus Wars\u003c\/i\u003e is a high-octane sci-fi masterpiece from the legendary Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, the \u003cstrong\u003echaracter designer of \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"116\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eMobile Suit Gundam\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e. Renowned for its incredibly fluid, hand-drawn mechanical animation and gritty, \"lived-in\" aesthetic, the film stands as a pinnacle of late-80s action cinema. From the iconic, oversized monobikes to the thunderous tank battles, this US Manga Corps release captures a relentless sense of momentum and cinematic scale. It is a quintessential cyberpunk-era epic that combines political intrigue with some of the most impressive technical animation ever put to cel, making it an essential addition to any retro anime collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eNotable Staff \u0026amp; Voice Talent\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (\u003ci data-index-in-node=\"30\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eMobile Suit Gundam\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"50\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eArion\u003c\/i\u003e) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"57\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eScreenplay:\u003c\/b\u003e Yoshikazu Yasuhiko \u0026amp; Yuichi Sasamoto \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"106\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eStudio:\u003c\/b\u003e Triangle Staff \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"129\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eMusic:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Hisaishi (\u003ci data-index-in-node=\"150\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eSpirited Away\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"165\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003ePrincess Mononoke\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"184\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eCast:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"192\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eKatsumi Toriumi\u003c\/b\u003e as Ken Isaki \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"223\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eYuko Mizutani\u003c\/b\u003e as Susan Sommers \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"256\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eGoro Naya\u003c\/b\u003e as Gary \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"276\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eKaneto Shiozawa\u003c\/b\u003e as Donner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eDVD Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e• Original Japanese Theatrical Trailers \u003cbr\u003e• Interactive Production Art Gallery \u003cbr\u003e• Film Information and Staff Bios \u003cbr\u003e• US Manga Corps Previews\u003cbr\u003e• Interactive Menus\u003cbr\u003e• Chapter Stops\u003cbr\u003e• Guerilla Warfare\u003cbr\u003e• Character \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eSpoken Languages:\u003c\/b\u003e English \u0026amp; Japanese Audio, English subtitles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eEdition Details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eJapanese Title:\u003c\/b\u003e ヴイナス戦記 (Vinasu Senki) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"38\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/b\u003e ~102 Minutes \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"60\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Yoshikazu Yasuhiko \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"89\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eDVD Release Year:\u003c\/b\u003e 1998 (U.S. Release) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"127\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eOriginal Release Date (Japan):\u003c\/b\u003e 1989 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"163\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Central Park Media \/ US Manga Corps \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"210\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eRating:\u003c\/b\u003e 13+ \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"222\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Region 1 (U.S. \/ Canada) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"255\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e Sci-Fi, Action, Military \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"287\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThemes:\u003c\/b\u003e Terraforming, Biker Culture, Invasion, Coming of Age\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedia assumed VG+ unless otherwise noted.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pre-Owned","offers":[{"title":"VG - Back Art Wrinkled","offer_id":42469799723093,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/7673\/7365\/files\/880CE395-813E-49AE-AD63-A8FF3BB19C20.jpg?v=1778187869","url":"https:\/\/hifilofi.shop\/products\/the-venus-wars-dvd","provider":"HiFi LoFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
