The Tubi TV streaming service added another show back in May 2018 to its ranks that’s definitely a favorite of mine with the Yukikaze anime series. The five-episode show was available in its original Japanese language with English subtitles and now Tubi has updated to add the dubbed version as well. Additionally, they previously brought on the Yukikaze Mave-chan OVA in the same way and that now has its dubbed version available as well. It was directed by Masahiko Ohkura, it’s based n the novel by Chohei Kanbayashi. Koichi Hashimoto worked on the character designs while GONZO handled the animation production.
The Japanese cast includes Jouji Nakata as James “Jack” Bukhar, Masato Sakai as Rei Fukai, Masako Ikeda as Lynn Jackson, Miho Yamada as Edith Foss, and Youko Asagami as Rydia Cooley.
Plot Concept: Unbeknownst to the general population, an alien force opened an inter-dimensional gate in Antarctica over 30 years ago in an attempt to invade the Earth. The unified forces of Earth formed an elite military unit under command of the United Nations to combat the aliens and to push them back towards their own dimension. But the war still rages on.
Rei Fukai is an elite pilot of the Special Air Force (SAF) and designated pilot of the Yukikaze, an advanced fighter armed with a sentient computer control system. When fear of alien infiltration within the SAF spreads, the Yukikaze may be the only weapon humanity has to bring an end to this war.
