The last two episodes of 'Sun' start this DVD, and I was DELIGHTED to also see that this DVD contained my favorite story - 'Future'. Overall the series had a lot of potential, but some of the stories told in here were chopped up or just not that relevant (Strange Beings) but 'Sun' is a good story, as is 'Future'.

I especially loved the animation sequence of the Moopies and how one Moopie took the form of a woman, then a cat. However, the addition of a coffin that was supposed to open after 5000 years was an unnecessary one. The animated Phoenix series would have been better if the persons responsible for this had been more faithful to Tezuka's Phoenix manga.

Some of the stories that have been told over the last thirteen episodes were better than others but none of them were that good to begin with. While a couple of the stories managed to step it up and give the audience something special, the overall theme of the series got played out very early and left this volume with a real letdown and no satisfaction. This has been a long journey to confirm what my initial instincts told me, this series is not worth the effort.
