The Sky Crawlers

In a time of peace, war is spectacle. Ageless pilots engage in endless dogfight combat for rival companies that keep war alive in a far corner of the world, so peace can be maintained everywhere else. Ace pilot Yuichi has no memories of his life before. Like all the other pilots, Yuichi is a Kildren, part of a group of eternally young and fair-featured pilots who know no past, only warfare. Though Yuichi is new to the site, everything and everyone seem oddly familiar, as if he's repeating a life he's already experienced before. Could mysterious base commander Suito and deadly rival pilot teacher, the only adult in the skies, hold the secrets to his past?
