Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I watched the first volume not knowing what to expect, and ended up really liking it. The animation and character design has a really cute, solid style, and the backgrounds are absolutely beautiful (especially during race scenes with shots soaring over the landscape). I really enjoyed seeing all the different alien races and their ships, as well; they were creatively designed. The main character Eva (AKA Molly) was a refreshing alternative to most young female characters one finds these days - smart, strong, but with all the imperfections of her youth.
One thing I liked a lot was the fact that Rick Thunderbolt, who seemed at first like a token jock and a plot device thrown in to simply create an obstacle (he was even taken out by a convenient accident), comes back to become a mentor figure for Molly.
Even as an (nearly) 18 year old, I liked this show a lot and am eager to see the second volume.

There is only one problem: once he arrives on the distant planet Alwas, first stage of the competition, Wei's top pilot crashes, victim of a terrible sabotage. With no other pilot available, the controls of the Whizzing Arrow are placed into the hands of "Molly," a rebellious 15-year-old racing prodigy! The Race for the Ultimate Prize Has Begun!
