    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.

    Sounds like Phoenix 2772 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Hello All!
    I would like to ask about an anime from the 80's too.It starts with a scene in a school with some boys, talking about the holiday.Later, they are on a tree, watching the sky with telescope, and noticing an UFO crash.They go to the crash site and helping the pilot and the crew out.They travel through space to the princess's home, and there is the king and a space ship with a Santa Maria ship's outline (sail is a bit weird for a spaceship :)).In the end they get back to Earth.
    The hungarian title translated to english is like that: Planet of children, but I think it is not the proper title.It was dubbed in german language and the hungarian was overdubbed :)
