I just saw this the other day while not knowing it was released in early 2000 (though I figured it was around that date). Now I'm not really picky with what I watch art-wise, and considering the release date, I'd say the animation was well done. Story-wise, however... I don't know how ground-breaking this movie was 10 years ago, but now it seems pretty average and predictable. It did have its moments with me, those times when I caught myself laughing at Marie's antics or Yuan's... headed-towards-perverted streak. Overall, it was OK, but I don't think I would have finished watching it at all if I didn't love Shimizu Kaori to bits.

oh my god this was so hard to find!! i think the animation is good for 2000,but the anime as whole is really outdated (especially with Nokia,who would use that in 2030?) which is a shame because the story seems interesting and maria makes a super cute character i want to put her in my fav list badly but alas.

also if anyone is looking where to watch this,try this. it comes with an annoying dub but it's manageable and it's the only video i could find unless someone finds a much better alternative. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
