Venus Senki has great animation, compelling characters, is well paced, and is extremely re-watchable. Despite a simple narrative, lackluster ending, and some questionable character motivations; it is a really good movie. The animation is not at all dated and holds up well. There is not much character depth, but they are mostly likable. It is extremely well paced, spending just enough time on each plot point. The narrative, while simple, is good enough, and its lack of hard substance matter makes it easily watchable. The only negative is that the ending is less climatic than expected, andthe “villain” does some questionable things. Venus Senki is an anime that holds up well and is a really enjoyable watch.
