Think it is about time I put up a proper intro.
You have now entered the Funkgun-FunZone. If you are a smart lad or lass, I might warn you of excessive brain freezing that goes on in these parts.
First it is ever so tastey, then it starts to hurt. place index fingers to the sides of your nose. let the mind warm up.
Your all better now.

As for me, been watching anime since the mid 80's. (chopped up and kiddy friendly) then watched it propper uncut in 89 - early 90's. i have seen anime on everything from a betamax, to a VHS with no subs and a the subtitles written down for me on reams of paper having to match lines of dialog with the counter on the machine.
I have been on clubs, taken years for breaks and seen a lot of titles. I have gone through binges of anime, and droughts. I have drained precious cash on silly trinkets of my animation ambition.
It has been a heck of a ride.
Thanks for your time. if you wish a refund on the time for reading this, send me a PM requesting it... I shall bring it before the elders in my head then if so prompted I will reach through dimentions and time and rewrite this synopsis. =D
ok... so now we are done.

It's not bad, just not my genre, anyway it might get more stars from me, it already swiped from 1.5 to 2.5 in my list, so I can't say it's bad. It reminds me of Durarara, don't know if you watched it.

The story came out of nowhere. Shortly after you dropped it the children found Helga and then it is flashback after flashback in which the whole previous life story is told and all the actions of everyone connect. It is actually a very well thought out fairly consistent plot powered by insanity, stupidity, obsession and grief. My biggest problems were that I really hated Tina and her incarnations and everything took 5 times longer to happen than it should have.
Fantastic Children would actually have been a great series of the quality of Madoka Magica if it dropped a few useless characters and one or two reincarnations and compressed the tale to 13 episodes instead of 26. I would have still hated the main character but the pacing would have made up for it.

I really really really wanted to tag Tina and her reincarnations as selfish but I was afraid of the response from all those who think the show is a classic. Tina just destroys every man who ever loved her. I felt really bad for Seth. Poor Guy!
I am pretty sure she dumped Thoma and Chitto shortly after the main story and what the hell was that about Titas turning his daughter into an undead weapon of mass destruction because he never wanted to see her unhappy? I wanted to punch the screen when he was shocked at how that worked out. Not to mention her useless mom who abandoned her husband and daughter for an abusive man but she was sad about it so that makes eveything OK. It is more than obvious who Tina's parents were their genes run through her blood. I also noted that Tina forgot all about her parents after she came to earth and I especially loved her "I can't be Tina because she is dead and that is a past life so I will stay here and wait for my dead lover from a past life. I really don't care that you spent 500 years of grief looking for me to stop a madman from blowing up my beloved home world. I'll just stay here and be sad and ignore the people who love me until they kill themselves trying to make me happy. Then I'll be sad again because I am the tragic heroine." speech.
Konnichiwa!
Yes, I miss those days too, but I can't plan things lately, so it would be quite hard for me to follow a buddy group at the moment. Anyway I will surely let you know when I can. Thanks for stopping by and saying hi.
