Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise

In this animated film, Shiro (Mitsuki Yayoi) fails to become a pilot in the navy of the mythical kingdom of Honneamise, but is accepted into the Royal Space Force. To avoid losing funding, the agency must make Shiro the first man in space. Shiro befriends Riquinni (Masahiro Anzai), a religious fundamentalist who opposes the program. When he discovers that the military intends to use the rocket launch as an aggressive gesture to declare war on Honneamise's neighbors, he begins to question his mission.
