Movie Connections:

Followed by Sazan aizu seima densetsu (1995) (V)

Yakumo Fuji used to be a normal kid that is until he met a three hundred year old teenage girl named Pai.

This is a great and must watch anime for all of you anime fans. I like the movie very much and have seen it over and over again (which should give you the idea that this is no ordinary Japanese Manga). The fact which makes it amazing is hidden in the mystery which revolves around one of its main characters; a girl which looks like a teenager but actually is over three hundred years old and has great powers, revealed only when a third eye appears on her forehead. She is one of the last survivors of a long lost immortal race known as Sanjiyan. The story revolves around the girl, and her efforts in trying to find a statute with magical powers, the only key to granting her most desired wish. In her journey a boy who is bound to her destiny by fate joins in to help and assist her is a character which I will remember forever. The story takes many twists and turns and the end is worth the wait. The movie is special because it will make you laugh and cry when it wants to, characteristics of a great movie don't you think.
