An undiscovered gem for most

As long as you get the 3x disc Special Edition (not the cut for TV version) you should expect a good evenings entertainment.

It's a cracking good SF eco\ action story that manages to make it's point and stay entertaining at the same time. Once the action starts in episode 1 it's a roller-coaster ride to the very end. And you'll find your emotions and view point change more than once as more of the story is revealed.

The characters are stock in their (anime) attitudes, but the animation brings them to life. And it's the animation that takes the biscuit, with stunning 3D effects that they are only now beginning to match- it was ahead of it's time for sure.

As to why it's stays so undiscovered remains a mystery, every reviewer of note has given this anime a well deserved A, yet it stays in R1 land! Anyway, lets continue to keep it our little secret ;-)
