His career with a wealthy commercial airliner was on the horizon, and he was ready to settle down to a comfortable life with his true love. Little did he know that he would soon be tricked into joining a motley crew of mercenary fighter pilots in the deadly skies of Area 88. Now the only way to get home is to complete the three year term or pay $1.5 million to break the contract. The broadcast series Area 88 (2004) is the second adaptation of Kaoru Shintani's manga about the adventures of an airborne mercenary corps; a three-part OVA appeared in 1985. Photojournalist Makoto Shinjou comes to the center of the civil war ravaging the country of Aslan, to investigate fighter pilot Shin Kazama. Area 88 is a tough assignment: the pilots must serve three years or earn $1.5 million in bonuses for destroying enemy targets--minus the cost of fuel, housing, meals, etc. Director Isamu Imakake provides plenty of Top Gun-style action: high speed climbs, vertiginous dives, hairpin turns, and mid-air explosions. But Kazama is so taciturn and stoic, he's not terribly interesting; Shinjou's endless prying annoys the other members of the crew. The extras include specs of the planes, character biographies and an interview with Imakake and screenwriter Hiroshi Ohnogi.
