Island

This anime might be confusing at first but everything makes sense in the end, it's one of the most unique time travel shows I've ever watched, don't understand why it had little attention more a 5 star rating, if you think of watching this don't hesitate.

This anime series is set on Urashima, an island far from the mainland. Life was good there until five years previously when a series of calamities effected the three most prominent families. After this they cut off contact with the mainland. Then one day a man, Setsuna, is found on the beach. He has lost his memory but has a feeling that he is on a mission. On the island he meets Rinne, Karen, and Sara.

This was an okay series; it started well with an intriguing set-up but unfortunately the explanations didn't really live up to expectations. The characters are likeable enough and the animation looked good; this was helped by the lush backgrounds that captured the sub-tropical feel of the island. Overall I'd say this was a pleasant enough series but feel that once watched it will be soon forgotten.

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