Mixed Feelings
I dont know the series looked promising when i saw the trailer and just even with reading the sinopsis i feel its gonna catch the interest of more than one person but after finishing this adaptation of the work "phoenix" from osamu tekuza i really think that wasnt really good.

4 episodes its just very little to narrate an compelling story, characters like romy who its the main character on the series and her realization or even her traveling to find the earth along the episodes is too superficial sure it has a couple of touching moments but even those lose a lot of impact and importance because the pacing is too fast, the same applies to others like george.
I mean the overall idea and persona on the characters its there but are not employed at their fullest, this at least would need another 4 episodes more (if not more) to get an decent and well fleshed series on general.

The settings are interestings and the only song we hear on the ending of each episode its beautiful although it worth to mention that really wasnt used properly on the last episode to being honest, they could add some montage at the end or some post-credits scene but instead went just rolling out credits after 5 seconds like all the previous episodes in a pretty shabby way (this due certaintly to the series being rushed in general).

Its an drama with some sci-fi and the themes presents along the series are nice but cant avoid to say that i couldnt enjoy it a lot because the development on characters and story wise felt really hollow for the most, if you are interested on watch it give it a try you might appreciate some of the hopeful messages that are presents on the series, but its nothing to say outanding or good even.

I havent read the original work in which this adaptation its based off but i feel that even then this does not make justice to the renow and popularity that has gained the original material.
