Notes While this is included in the "Shoujo Anime List 1995" it was written for the boys' manga Manga Shounen by TAKEMIYA Keiko, who also did "Song of Wind and Trees".
Movie, 112 mins
US: The Right Stuff Int'l.

Classification shoujo

Synopsis Space opera about the struggle between humans in a very controlled future society and the Mu. Mu are humans with psychic abilities, who eventually leave the human's planet for humanity's old home. (ENC)

Review Quite an old anime, dating from 1980. They don't make 'em like this any more. The Earth has been poisoned, and the population has left. Briefly, the story is about psychics called the MU, who are ruthlessly hunted by a computerized government which regards them as evil. The MU attempt to escape to a new world, the Terra.
Having sat through this I can attest that there's not much point in doing so unless you have an English version or are fluent in Japanese, as the movie is essentially plot-driven. [Licensed sub. from The Right Stuff Int.] Looks dramatic though. (There is a 3-part synopsis in the Misc. Files (Scripts) section.)(GC)
A Takemiya Sci-Fi classic which is handicapped by outdated character design. (HBV) Rating ****
