Rezension von Tweekums

Umika Konohoshi is a school girl whose interest in aliens and science fiction leave her isolated and somewhat shy. She dreams of going into space one day and meeting aliens. Then one day she meets Yuu Akeuchi, a girl who claims to be an alien. She says she has lost her memory but can tell what others are feeling by touching foreheads. Umika determines to help Yuu get back home; to this end they start a rocketry club along with class vice president Haruno and Matataki, a tomboy with a penchant for engineering.

This is a sweet little series. I loved the fact that it is far from obvious whether or not Yuu really is an alien; other classmates just think she is a little odd. The story moves at a gentle pace, there may be no sense of danger but things very get boring. The characters are just a delight to watch as is their interest in homemade rockets. The characters are likeable and their designs are good. The animation is also of a high standard. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anybody wanting a gentle anime series with no inappropriate content.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
