probably one of the longest titles to any anime i've seen, but i guess it makes sense. in japanese its Sora o Miageru Shōjo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai. the show actually follows a two part ova called munto. so the show is sometimes simply called munto tv.
did you ever watch any of the old disney movies, like cinderella or sleeping beauty? remember how the characters moved? the animators tried to capture a sense of realistic movement in their characters, where as now most animation is just a fixed cartoon type movement. well, munto tv has those old elements of the disney movies, which is rare in an anime tv show. maybe in a movie would this animation style be acceptable, but the animators cleverly adapated the style to the series.
the show is a little dramatic and slow, which was almost enough for me to actually skip watching the whole series. but just as i was about to close the video, action is introduced. similar to the disney type movements, the quality of action put into munto tv is that of the action seen in anime movies. its very illusive and fluid, rather than the simple kick, punch, fireball, and 10000000 hit combo. the action does have a lot of dragonball -esque fireballs, and one of the main characters even looks like vegeta, but its refreshing to see the old style of anime that originally brought me into liking anime.
the story seems like it was pulled from a miyazaki story like spirited away, so its ok for the average non anime watching person to watch this and actually understand what's going on.
anyway, the show is still somewhat new, so downloads should go pretty fast. took me about a day to dl most of the episodes. m.3.3.w is subbing the series and here's a link:
[m.3.3.w.]Sora o Miageru Shōjo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai
