Another great anime series ends with this final DVD, and of course the ending is just a little weirder than I would like. Still, these are some amazing episodes, starting with the conclusion to the cliffhanger from the last volume. The entire city of Tokyo has been overrun by boomers, since these mad robots are kind of organic and can join with anything. All humans have left, and Galatea "becomes" an entire building which then blasts off into space! There's a nice episode where the girls meet up with some refugees on the outskirts of town and have some campfire drinking time, but then it's back to action. After donning their suits, they make it into space to face Galatea by riding the Sky Hook, which is really cool. A huge battle lasts for the final two episodes, with the girls fighting to control their suits, since they are in fact wearing robots that can be taken over by Galatea. There's some semi-touching scenes when Priss has to accept the Motoslave (her robot motorcycle) for what it is, and it ends up saving her life. The first volumes in this series were more enjoyable, but this was a mostly satisfying end to an action-packed series.Labels: anime, dvds
