The Sky Crawlers (スカイ・クロラ Sukai Kurora?) is a Japanese novel series by Hiroshi Mori. First published by Chuōkōron-shinsha in June 2001 and spanning five books, it follows the journeys and tribulations of a group of young fighter pilots involved in dogfight warfare, and is set during an alternate historical period. The series is unlike other works by Mori, noted for his series of mystery novels. The art for the series is illustrated by noted mangaka Kenji Tsuruta.
The first book in the series was The Sky Crawlers, first released in June 2001.[1] A shinshobon (refurbished) edition of the book followed on October 2002, while the bunkobon edition followed on October 2004.[1]
The second book in the series, None But Air (ナ・バ・テア Na Ba Tea?), was released in June 2004, while the shinshobon edition for this volume followed on October 2004 and the bunkobon edition followed on November 2005.[1] The third book in the series, Down to Heaven (ダウン・ツ・ヘヴン Daun Tsu Hevun?), followed in June 2005, while its shinshobon edition followed on December 2005 and its bunkobon edition followed on November 2006. [1]
The fourth book in the series, Flutter into Life (フラッタ・リンツ・ライフ Furatta Rintsu Raifu?), followed in June 2006. [1] The fifth and final book in the series, Cradle the Sky (クレィドゥ・ザ・スカイ Kureidu Za Sukai?), will be released on June 25, 2007.
On June 20, 2007, it was announced that the novel would be adapted into a anime film, directed by Mamoru Oshii, which is slated for release in 2008.[2][3]
Animated by Production I.G., the film will be written by Chihiru Itō, feature character designs by Tetsuya Nishio, music by Kenji Kawai and will be distributed across Japan by Warner Brothers Japan. [2][3]
Mori had stated that he felt The Sky Crawlers was the "most difficult" of his works to adapt, and had given his consent to the making of the film after learning of Oshii's involvement as director. [2][3]
wikipedia is your best pal. And don't you wonder why the USians shows GITS as "Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell"?
da problem, i dun watch GITS. so i dun even know that USians shows GITS as Mamoru Oshii's GITS. neway, thxs for the info bout the show, u works better than wiki
The last time I watch jetplane anime from novel->anime conversion is Sentou Yousei Yukikaze. A nice short film with action CG. I wonder what this Skycrawler would brings, another quintet I see... 5 series...
