I feel like the show only cared about Hozuki and everything else was a second thought. Rather than this being a series about the adventures of the three sisters and their quest to get their family back together, a more accurate synopsis would be "we really like Hozuki and so will you!"
The fact that they were actually planning on making this two-cours obviously makes me wonder how the story would have actually unfolded. Perhaps the other two sisters would have mattered? The cynic in me thinks that they intentionally made Hozuki the main character for that purpose. They were banking on many people liking Hozuki so much that they would be willing to endure what a hot mess everything else was. |

Sometimes it really seems that Television Producers are recruited from the most shortsighted people in the world. They cancelled Star Trek in the 60's because, you know, that series was never going to go anywhere....

The last episode was rushed, but I still enjoyed it. The show had a lot of potential, but felt short in the end. This is just an above average anime for me. Hozuki was just awesome though and I like the fact that it was the same seiyuu that voiced Silica in SAO. It was one of the better shows this season.

Wow, that ending. Ridiculously rushed, but it seems like it's not entirely the fault of the creators. Man, this show could've really benefited from being a two-cour series.
And I still don't know what the Galileo Tesoro is lawl. Shows how much I've been paying attention. |

Ya know, something tells me this would have benefited being on the NHK channel than part of the noitaminA block. The very premise suggest this should have been at least a 2-cour adventure series that you may some educational mileage out of as well.

That last ep had a very deus ex machina feel. "We've written ourselves in a corner, so the gods descend and solve everything". |

At any rate, they would've been aware of the episode count by the time they wrote the actual scripts. Quote:

It's a shame though. The show had quite a bit of charm all the way through and I was curious to see where the story was going but clearly they didn't have the time to do the proper reworking of the story from the 22 planned to the final 11 episode count. Unlike most folks I don't consider this to have been a bad show, it wasn't amazing but it had a lot more flair in it's world than many of the cookie-cutter shows that show up season after season. Sadly it'll go down in history with what is most likely the most botched ending I can remember.

As a regular customer to Asahi Novels, the novelization of Galilei Donna (author Henri Makoto) greatly pleases me.

Apparently, the fish is an action figure. It even comes with the MP5.

Good anime with a crappy ending. The last episode felt stupid. But I like the ending bit with Hazuki and Galileo. I hope she manage to find a way to met him even though it looks like she didn't manage to go back. Such a sweet love letter and story.
