Anime Movie - The Princess and the Pilot (To Aru Hikuoshi e no Tsuioku)


This is a really beautiful and emotional story of love, war and cruelty of life. A boy who had nothing but sad, hard life filled with discrimination and a girl who had it all, from a noble family were destined to meet again as adults. The movie follows their travel as simple pilot and princess across enemy territory, intense air battles with the enemy forces and the birth of mutual feelings. It was really sad how those two met under all the wrong circumstances which eventually brought them close together. The princess and the pilot is something that is worth watching because it has a little bit of something for everyone; from action & adventure to light romance.


As a beautiful daughter of the noble family del Moral, Fana was proposed by Prince Carlo, who is the crown prince of their country Levamme. However, since Levamme is at war with Amatsuvian, the marriage had to wait until the war ends. Meanwhile, as a bestado, the lowest caste in Levamme, Charles had always dreamed of flying and eventually became the ace pilot of the air force. Although he was often mistreated, a glorious chance came about when the Amatsuvian bombarded del Moral's home in order to get rid of the future empress. Charles was then entrusted with the top secret mission of delivering the princess to the prince.
