That is true, there is a lot of airplanes in alien 9. But I never realy saw Alien 9 as haveing a lot of symboism, but that's because I only think about thangs deeply that I make reather then question anime shows I like . I Should try watching it again to see what I come up with. That was cool to read though. EDIT: You're right! That is a good sean |

Nice catch, I never noticed those things before. Perhaps the sky trails are more alien pods coming down to earth to play havoc with other schools/areas around the country being 'tested' by the alien invaders. Or its a military thing and some rebel human factions are waging war with some of the aliens using fighter planes (after all it is a bit strange there is no military or anything in Alien 9 trying to take responsibility for fighting off the aliens, unless the borg clan already fused with the leader of the country/military or something). Or its many passenger planes fleeing the country for less alien-invaded places in a desperate hope to escape their fates. But yeah nothing is actually confirmed in the series and the background artist could just have an affection for sky trails and planes for all I know. |

I also think that planes may have artistic purpose. They didn't ask director about it? Some of them like drawing clouds just for the sake of it)) Shots look like how I'd stare at the plane flying above leaving trail, on static scenery it gives you something to follow:) That creates a certain feeling... But one doesn't exclude another, there might be other meaning to planes. |

To play Devil's Advocate here, who's to say the airplanes have any meaning? After all, they are a very common vehicle in this industrialised world. Sometimes an airplane is just an airplane. If you do want to assign them a meaning, it could be that they symbolise transition, most likely from childhood to adulthood, in keeping with the premise that Alien 9 is a twisted coming of age story. |

Perhaps they do not, it is quite plausible that they wouldn'nt have any specific meaning, or perhaps the director just likes shots with airplanes ;) Your theory also sounds quite logical, though - I like it a lot!

My theories: The first two airplanes are jets surveying the school grounds. It is not just targeted at the main character's school but all the schools in general. They are keeping track of the alien landings and are making reports for the alien party committee. The two after that are not alien ships, or jets, but alien pods. Which is part of my Interfering Theory. Let's just say that they are aliens and it has to do with the principal's comment at the end of the Alien-9 anime. "Someone is trying to interfere with us..." [spoiler] I think the last airplane is a commercial airplane. It is a hint of the manga when Kumi, and Kasumi leave Yuri at the end of manga 4. But if this didn't appear near the end of the anime then it is probably just a commercial airplane with no significance.[/spoiler] |
