This OVA episode helps to tie up some loose ends for Tide-Line Blue as it explores how the war between the Ulysses and New UN started up, and we get to see Keel and Tean interact with their father still aboard the space station they were raised on as children. Unlike most bonus OVAs, this one actually helps add more to the series and is at least worth a watch if you enjoyed watching through Tide Line Blue through its entire run.

This is an aftermath episode. In theory, I rather enjoy aftermath episodes because one gets to see people carry on with their lives once the big conflict has been resolved. Unfortunately, a lack of answers torpedoes this one. As I said in my review of Tide-Line Blue, the anime suffered from a serious lack of answers. So in the aftermath, I would have enjoyed seeing some of my questions answered. Unfortunately, I still don't know who the father of Isla's baby is. A reference was made by Tean and Keel in mild argument that she loved one of them, but loved her baby most. So no moves on a romantic front beyond Isla and Aoi joking about getting a man. Oh, and Isla is back selling her handmade jewlery. Whatever. Aoi, as Secretary General, is like a doting Grandma to Isla's child. She even brings the baby to U.N. meetings. She's going to share the map of the Earth with the world. Shock, gasp, horror. Yet I found myself not interested. The only thing that did interest me was a flashback scene where Tean recalls a much younger, uninjured Captain Gould and a U.N meeting they were attending. So it was neat seeing how Gould came to look the way he does, as well as how Tean became one of the ranking officers. Bottom line: Beautiful, but mostly dull. With so many questions still unanswered, if you happened to miss this episode, you won't have missed much.Last updated Tuesday, May 23 2006. Created Tuesday, May 23 2006. | ||||||||
