Description:
Soichiro is away at kendo camp, so Yukino has time to devote to her friends and their problems. Tsubasa, Soichiro's old friend, is upset at the prospect of her widowed father's remarrying. She's won over by his fiancée's son Kazuma, who conceals a warm heart beneath his punk-rocker exterior. Kazuma wants his mother to be happy and is delighted at the prospect of having a sister. Director Hideaki Anno (Evangelion) never allows these situations to sink into soap opera bathos, and his unflagging visual imagination keeps things lively. He uses solarized photographs as backgrounds to suggest Tsubasa's alienation as she wanders through the city, and effectively juxtaposes animated sequences with still drawings--techniques other directors have used far less skillfully. However, as the titles suggest, episodes 14 and 15 are fillers that just recap previous developments. (Rated 13 and older: minor profanity, cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon
