It is the dawn of the 21st century. Mankind has terraformed and colonized Mars. But we are not alone in the universe. An ancient race of alien beings, known only as `The Gods`, has been watching mankind`s progress...and waiting. Now, these mysterious aliens have returned to halt mankind`s expansion into space...by force.
Now, the planet named after the God of War will become our final battlefield, as mankind fights a desperate battle with the latest in high-tech, military hardware: hyper-advanced aircraft, orbital fighters, and gigantic, desert battleships brimming with the most advanced weaponry.
But will it be enough? The aliens have awesome, incredibly destructive weapons at their disposal - including `Hell` - an unstoppable stealth carrier. But the alien`s primary weapon is insidiously quiet and invisible - a mind control plaque. Incurable. Inevitable. Contagious. Humans are powerless to resist its effects, which transforms even the most loyal soldiers into dangerous subversives.
Our last hope lies with Captain Akuh and the crew of the Battleship Aoba. If his top-secret mission is successful, mankind will deal a decisive blow to the alien armada. But Akuh`s girlfriend is showing signs of nymphomania - the first symptom of alien subversion!

Where it came from
Big Wars was released in 1993 as an original video animation, produced by the studio Magic Bus. The film is an adaptation of a science fiction manga series created by Katsumichi Hoshino, reflecting the trend of dark, gritty anime titles that emerged from the Japanese market during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Its production occurred during a period when studios were experimenting with high-concept futuristic storytelling, often blending military themes with speculative technology.
The character designs and visual direction aimed to capture the stark, serious tone of the original source material. While the project remains a niche interest among animation enthusiasts today, its design language is emblematic of the era’s aesthetic choices, characterized by elaborate mechanical designs and somber color palettes. Upon its release, it was received as a standard entry in the direct-to-video sci-fi canon, appreciated primarily by collectors of hard science fiction animation.
