Video Description
Twelve-year-old twins Ai and Yu Hayakawa take a mysterious subway to Wonderland to look for their missing scientist-parents. Wonderland is a hostile place, ruled by the petulant Earl Tyrant and his assorted hench-creatures. Ai and Yu are attacked by monsters and saved first by Lisa, a practitioner of the "Kigen Arts," then repeatedly by the taciturn, gun-totting Kaze. The first episodes are cluttered with characters who appear briefly then vanish. Although Ai, Yu, and Lisa do a lot of traveling, the series doesn't really go anywhere: the filmmakers seem more interested in showcasing the elaborate CG effects at their disposal than in coherent storytelling. The effects are very flashy, but they never meld satisfactorily with the drawn animation. Based on the popular videogame franchise, Unlimited borrows from Matsumoto's Galaxy Express and Miyazawa's Galactic Railroad, but offers none of their mystery and magic.
Synopsis
The vast sci-fi environs of the popular FINAL FANTASY video game serve as the backdrop for this action-packed anime series directed by Mahiro Maeda and produced by GONZO Digimation. The series opens as a mysterious pillar of darkness descends upon Japan, opening a gateway to another dimension and spawning a gigantic two-headed monster that destroys itself in a spectacular fashion. Twelve years later, twin brother and sister Yu and Ai hop on a magical subway that takes them to a fantastical but dangerous realm known as Wonderland, where they hope to solve the mystery of their scientist parents' disappearance on that dreadful day with the help of a kindly sorceress and a brooding gunslinger. Moody and enigmatic with stunning animation, the sci-fi anime is presented in its entirety.
