Identify old 80's anime movie
Hey guys, I'm not a huge anime fan, but recently I've been getting these flashes of memory of an old anime movie I used to own on VHS when I was 6 or 7. I doubt it's a very good film but it holds quite powerful memories of when I was a nipper so I'd love to locate it.
I can remember quite a lot of facts but the name completely escapes me and my google-fu is apparantley weak.
Here goes :
The story features a female robot of some kind, possibly a cyborg, who can transform/shapeshift into a weird flying kind of thing. She has red/orange colouring and blonde hair.
The film opens with fetus' being produced in a lab of some kind.
The main protagonist is a young male, possibly part of some kind of academy.
A fist fight takes place at some point in a very dark and dramatically lit room.
Other characters include a short, belligerent old guy, kind of like an old prospector, and also some small, weird alien thing that's body is like a cubic block of swiss cheese. Arms and legs pop out of the wholes therein.
The films finale takes place either in a volcano or on a planet that is exploding.
The main antagonist redeems himself at the end, after being blinded.
The film ends on a beach with the female robot being reincarnated into a real woman and the male protagonist being reincarnated as a baby.
The box for the VHS was primarily yellow with red or possibly orange lettering for the title.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
