Review

I have this in Japanese English subbed and dubbed and even in French. Slightly different edits for each. A superb show with first class animation especially in the first episode. Some very slight nudity was removed from several edits (including the French aired shows) and there are some very powerful emotional moments such as Maries grief at the loss of her parents. If you can sit down and enjoy the whole show it will not leave you untouched. Highly recommended introduction to the real art of Japanese animation. NB The movie which followed is not so good.
