Summary: Lily C.A.T. - Aliens meets invasion of the body snatchers
Comment: While blatantly reminiscient of Aliens, this flick still holds a soft spot in my heart as it was the first anime feature movie I had seen (remember this is circa 1987)... of course, not withstanding episode anime such as Speed Racer and Astro Boy. If you like sci-fi/horror/thrillers like Aliens, you will like this. Quality of renderings were very stylized/advanced when reminded of its release date (two years before the classic AKIRA). The violence, while graphic, was not too gratuitous. Americanesque characters, yet Japanese quality renderings (it is Japanese produced and directed) and its unlikely subject genre for an anime make it an interesting watch.
Do to its age and story line, it really cannot be compared to other anime feature films, but I do consider it a classic if only for its age and attempt to mirror live action hollywood flicks.
Worth renting or buying on the cheap for those who wish to build serious collections.
