Message from Space
Where fantasies are real & reality is fantastic.
Directed by Kinji Fukasaku
Produced by TOHO, Toei Company
A sprawling space-opera adventure where disparate heroes are chosen by mystical seeds to defend a peaceful world against an invading empire, blending action, spiritual destiny, and ensemble heroism.
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.
