Comments on: Figure 17 Review http://omohide.com/1987/figure-17-review/ "Always do right.

In my case I didn't mind the action sequences, and at most times I found them to be quite good and a good source of drama for the story. :p Well, I guess in these cases it helps to have a large array of interests.

I suppose I just have a very low tolerance for most action sequences, and a result was very uninterested when the show went into its (in my opinion) fairly generic sci-fi segments, which do take up a bulk of the anime.

Personally I found it to be my first favorite ever when I saw it back in 2004, and it remains one of my favorite series ever. Back then I found the sci-fi plot to be, while not completely original, it was engaging, and the slice of life portions of the plot happened to be one of my first encounters with such a genre. The relationship betweem the two sisters is really endearing for me (mind you, real, well played sisterly/brotherly love is one of my favorite anime themes, and I think there is no series that plays it better than this one), and how their dynamics evolve over time remains one of my favorite points. Tsubasa's character is quite interesting for me for example. Her characters really evolves over the course of the series... and unlike most other anime out there, it's not always in the right direction. Sometimes she realistically de evolves into her shier, introverted shell without it feeling a step backwards but a natural progression of the character plot. Overall, I rewatch this series from time to time (And it remains the series I've rewatched the most, over 5 times). However I always stop before the last 3 episodes. The last segment remains one of the single most painful and bittersweet endings I've ever encountered, and I don't think I'd be able to stomach it a second time. I was left an emotional mush for several days after watching the ending. I didn’t know that you only recently saw this series.
