Overview
The new frontier of Venus has degenerated into a dystopia ravaged by the civil war between Ishtar and Aphrodia. Bubbly reporter Susan Sommers arrives in the capitol of Aphrodia just before it’s captured by Ishtar. She falls in with a bunch of teen-agers who live for a sort of motorcycle version of Roller Derby. Daredevil rider Hiro and his friends reluctantly join the struggle to free Aphrodia from the invaders. Not surprisingly, Hiro proves an ace at piloting the mono-cycles that are the Aphrodians’ secret weapon in the key battle.

Viewing Notes
I know I already watched this last year but since I’ve been diving back into 80s/90s anime recently I figured I’d watch again. This dvd is so old the widescreen is stupid cmon in a fullscreen box. And it just looks muddy with all the colors washed out. Decided to listen to the English dub. I believe there are elements of this that were repurposed for the ALITA live action film.
