Gundam F91 and Garzey's Wing are both from the same creator, and suffer the same problem: incredibly mishandled exposition to the point it becomes somewhat incoherent, leaving the characters a mush and to call the story a mess is to be generous.

However Gundam F91 is far, far better animated, working with the generous proviso of a film budget, and its story is nowhere near as hopelessly muddled as the anti-masterpiece that is Garzey's Wing, so it's possible to get more entertainment from this.

Psychic Wars

Perhaps the ancient shrines of Japan hold the secret to travelling to long ago or a fantasy world where you see women who say weird things as you tunnel through a light show and you have a destiny, hero, to defeat the bad things, humans are just human.

Wait wait wait. Let me slow down here a sec. Garzey's Wing and Psychic Wars have pretty awful exposiiton; mix that in with a pretty stupid and occasionally incoherent fnatasy story about a guy who gets sucked into some other world (the past, another reality, whatever, as Garzey's Wing lead quips: 'Dinosaurs also are here!') and then stuff happens. Psychic Wars has more sex and ultraviolence, but it isn't quite as entertainingly bad as Garzey's Wing... nonetheless, hey, shoe fits, if you liked watching one check out the other maybe.

Wings of Rean

Wings of Rean

Suzuki Aesop is a half-breed Japanese, the son of an American military officer. When his radical anti-American friends get into trouble, he finds himself running from the American MPs. Suddenly, a massive battleship appears out of the sea, flying into the air, before Aesop's disbelieving eyes. The ship comes from the 'underworld' of Byston Well, and aboard it is Princess Ryukus, who carries with her the magical winged boots, the Wings of Rean; and they are meant for Aesop...

Canal Canal says...

Both anime share the same director and take place in the same world, Byston Well, since they are more or less based on the director's novels. Also they are both named after some legendary wings of light that have the power to summon a holy warrior, except that those wings come in the form of boots in the case of Wings of Rean. This is how the main character gets transported to Byston Well and becomes the holy warrior that will fight for peace, except that in Wings of Rean the main character gets transported after some warships from Byston Well suddenly appear in Japan. They also have the same critical flaw: a story that jumps from one scene to the next and doesn't make any sense.

Both of these anime (at least in English dub) are true gems for a hilarious hate-watch. Seriously. Find the dubs, watch them with a group of friends, you'll crack up and have inside jokes and references galore. From Mai's over-acted HO HO HO and transforming reindeer Pedro to the laughably bad voice acting, silly names and that one guy who cannot safely dismount an animal in Garzey's Wing. The only real difference is in addition to being bad My Santa is at least also trying to be funny where Garzey's Wing feels like it was made with the intention to actualy be something and have a story but just so happened to turn out as a hilarious dumpster fire. They're both very short, do it for the laughs.
