Description:

The friendship (and nascent romance) that ties Abh princess Lafiel to human nobleman Jinto Lin unfolds against the increasing hostilities between mankind and the vast Abh Empire. They escape the destruction of the warship Gosroth, only to find themselves in the clutches of an allied princeling attempting to increase the size of his petty domain. Based on a novel by the prominent Japanese science fiction writer Hiroyuki Morioka, Crest of the Stars plays like a cross between Dual Parallel Trouble Adventure and Macross or one of the early Gundam continuities. Jinto is a well-intentioned but reluctant nobleman who finds himself out of his league; Lafiel vacillates between no-nonsense discipline and romantic daydreams. Aya Yoshinaga's screenplay suffers from an overload of Abh jargon, including such nonsensicalities as "You put lope in your til nom?" Rated 13 Up: brief nudity, minor profanity and violence, largely limited to spaceship versus spaceship. --Charles Solomon
