Anime Deep Dive: Yukikaze OVA Part 2

This deep dive we'll be finishing up the OVA we watched last time. Please join us.

Battle Fairy: Yukikaze is a 2002-2005 OVA series, one of the last OVAs released before the format became much rarer in the early 00s. It features spectacularly animated air battles that were supervised by the JDSf.

Thirty-three years ago, an alien force known as the “JAM” invaded Earth through a dimensional portal over Antarctica. Earth’s forces managed to drive the JAM back through the portal to their home planet designated as “Fairy.” While majority of Earth’s population is unaware of the JAM’s presence, the war continues on Fairy.

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze chronicles the life of Fukai Rei, an SAF (Special Air Force) pilot assigned to pilot “Yukikaze” - an advanced reconnaissance fighter plane equipped with a near-sentient A.I. that detects the presence of the JAM within its path.
