Overview

The peaceful planet of Jillucia has been nearly wiped out by the Gavanas, whose leader takes orders from his mother rather than the Emperor. King Kaiba sends out eight Liabe holy seeds, each to be received by a chosen one to defend the Gavanas. Each recipient, ranging from hardened General Garuda to Gavana Prince Hans to young Terrans Meia, Kido, and Aaron all have different reactions to being chosen.

Viewing Notes

George Hickman mentioned he was viewing this today via Instawatch so I felt compelled to fire it up again. Man, what a weird movie. I feel like parts of it are missing / cut but then maybe it was meant to be so overly convoluted. So strange but I adore it.
