Venus Wars
The Venus Wars (ヴイナス戦記, Vinasu Senki?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. It was serialized in the Gakken magazine Nora Comics from 1987 to 1990. In 1989, The Venus Wars was adapted into an anime film directed by Yasuhiko, and co-written by Yuichi Sasamoto and Yasuhiko, and produced by Bandai Visual, Gakken, and Shochiku.
The manga was translated into English by Dark Horse Comics in the early 1990s. The Venus Wars film was localized in the United Kingdom and the United States by the Central Park Media subsidiary Manga Entertainment, gaining recognition when it aired in heavy rotation on the Sci-Fi Channel "Saturday Anime" movie block in the late 1990s.
Discotek relicensed Venus Wars in 2012 and releasing a well deserved, shiny new remastered DVD release from a new telecline print which is anamorphic widescreen and a significant upgrade over the old Central Park Media release, which was letterboxed and from a grainy, stretched source.

Famous quotes containing the words venus and/or wars:
“In the drawing room [of the Queen’s palace] hung a Venus and Cupid by Michaelangelo, in which, instead of a bit of drapery, the painter has placed Cupid’s foot between Venus’s thighs. Queen Caroline asked General Guise, an old connoisseur, if it was not a very fine piece? He replied “Madam, the painter was a fool, for he has placed the foot where the hand should be.””
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.”
