Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Tweekums In the not too distant future the Earth is in the grip of an ice age and those for provide the energy wield the power. In this world there are three sisters, descendants of the great Galileo Galilei, they don't get on too well but events lead to them fleeing their home on a strange, goldfish-shaped ship, built by youngest sister Hozuki. The people after then want something called the Galileo Tesoro; they don't want it to fall into the enemy's hands so they travel around searching for seven sketches made by Galileo which they believe will lead them to an important discovery. The sisters are accompanied by Anna Hendrix, a woman who is fascinated by all things connected to Galileo… and also happens to be working for the enemy!This was a decent enough series with some nice ideas; I thought the 'flying goldfish' was particularly fun. Unfortunately it was also a bit messy; they seeing to find the long-hidden sketches far too easily and the ending was far too abrupt; as if it was meant to be a thirteen part series and the creators learnt they had to finish it in eleven at the last moment. The characters are good enough although apart from child genius Hozuki they will turn out to be fairly forgettable I suspect. Overall I'd say this is a decent enough way to pass the time; especially as it can legally be watched free on Crunchyroll at the time I wrote this.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
