Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise (王立宇宙軍~オネアミスの翼, Ōritsu Uchūgun: Oneamisu no Tsubasa) is a 1987 Japanese anime film, notable for being the debut work of Studio Gainax. While the film's Japanese release date of March 14, 1987 is often listed as the premiere, Royal Space Force actually premiered a month earlier on February 19, 1987 at Chinese Mann's Theater is Los Angeles, California, re-titled Star Quest. This release was hastily dubbed into English by an unknown cast and crew, and reportedly distributed by a company by the name of "Go East Productions." Reportedly, significant changes were made to the script and character names, such as renaming the main character from "Shirotsugh" to "Randy."[1]
7 years later, Animaze and Manga Entertainment would put out a much more faithful dub, re-titling the film to Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise. This dub would later be the one included with every home video release.
The 1987 dub was considered entirely lost until 2014 when Anime News Network writer Mike Toole presented a number of short clips of Star Quest as part of his column Anime Twice Dubbed.[2]
