No matter how far humanity pushes to go beyond the stars, technology they won't be able to define death, threats, problems and their emotions.

This movie caught my attention because the plot sounded similar to Alien and The Thing. It was very heavily inspired by those two movies, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Having stumbled upon a used copy of this piece years back, I bought it out of curiosity.For a production done back in 1987, it's very good.

I really enjoyed this movie, when I originally saw it on Sci-Fi's Anime week on Robot Carnival. I was upset to NEVER see this movie again, outside of the fact I taped it.

I, too, loved this movie. Like the other reviewers, I first saw it on the Sci-Fi Channel's Anime Week's ROBOT CARNIVAL.

I first watched this anime back in the 90's when the scifi channel actually showed a bit more variety and such having anime weeks, Godzilla weeks and for a short span having Mystery Science Theater 3000 on their station. I enjoyed it then and I recently re-watched it as I was in the mood for a scifi horror hybrid that was not Alien.

As others have already pointed out, this Japanese animated film is very much a rip off of "Alien" and "Aliens", from the mixed bag of characters (more on that later) to the visual look of just about everything inside the spaceship.
