Ghostfriendly's Profile

One of the few anime with a vividly realised foreign setting (South America, complete with a swingin' latin soundtrack), also unusual for its serious feminist veiwpoint. The road-trip storyline is rather disjointed, and nothing extraordinary in its premises, but the two leads are flawed and strong willed girls you can't help but admire.

At its best, this show is wonderfully detailed, and shows thought patterns hardly seen before in anime, astutely. Hatchin's voice work ozes character, and a raw edge pervades the best scenes. Other plot elements, especially earlier, seem sadly ludicrous, and male characters are almost uniformly weak, but the leads manage to steer the show to an excellent conclusion.
