The plot, though somewhat interesting, wasn't as riveting as I hoped. You have two people from two dimensions parallel to each other and it's near imposible to cross over but the girl has to cross over to save the other dimension. These are the beginings of a good plot, so what happened? Well, the characters are as ineresting as mud, they take FOREVER to get to something exciting in the plot, and there's no music to help with the atmosphere of the scenes to make them more bareable.
In one world, you have a group of unnamed bad guys destroying King Munto's kingdom in the sky (and their HOME) just BECAUSE THEY CAN (really, no real motive was EVER revealed, A holy crusade for the greater good would have been nice) and people sitting around and LETTING THEM while saying hope is not lost as long as we withhold our troups and have faith in Munto who has leaped into an area where him just being there is slowly and PAINFULLY killing him while he tries to convince this boring little middle school girl, who is the only one that can see beyond the barrier between them (and that's the only thing interesting about her, everyone else thinks she's a liar instead of crazy), to help him.
In the other world you have the boring everyday life of said boring girl and her friends. She know Munto NEEDS her to help him and that COUNTLESS lives are at stake but even as he lays DYING in front of her, she still says "you have the wrong girl, I don't know what you're talking about, leave me alone" instead of HELPING him like a SENSIBLE person would if a person was dying in front of them. Also, it's a MIRACLE she has just been tagged as a liar and NO ONE has thought to AT LEAST get her couselling. Who wrote this, a 4YO?! Hey, if she was at least considered mentally unstable by the general public, it would make her half of the story more interesting as she is strugling to find answers (is the floating kingdom real or do I really need STRONG medication?), but no, we get this half-a** piece of sh**.
I was excited to see Munto but after watching the OVAs and finding out that they were just a portion of the story and the anime has the whole story, I gave up on it. Usually when anime's chop up episodes into OVAs or a few movies, the pull the highlights of the anime and if THAT was the highlight, I say it's not worth it. Thank GOD my dignity overwhelmed my curiosity to watch them because I don't know how much more of that I could take.
