Island

This anime series is set on Urashima, an island far from the mainland. Life was good there until five years previously when a series of calamities effected the three most prominent families. After this they cut off contact with the mainland. Then one day a man, Setsuna, is found on the beach. He has lost his memory but has a feeling that he is on a mission. On the island he meets Rinne, Karen, and Sara.

This was an okay series; it started well with an intriguing set-up but unfortunately the explanations didn't really live up to expectations. The characters are likeable enough and the animation looked good; this was helped by the lush backgrounds that captured the sub-tropical feel of the island. Overall I'd say this was a pleasant enough series but feel that once watched it will be soon forgotten.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
