Spirit of Wonder: Miss China's Ring · review
_Miss China's Ring_ is a curious little OVA. The animation is actually pretty good for the period: it strikes a sort of realistic Ghibli style that holds up well 20 years later. Sound is decent enough. The plot is... think very gentle romantic comedy, a bit like Oh My Goddess! with some soft SF. (I say soft because any hard SF author would immediately point out that destroying the moon would eliminate most tides and causing global mass destruction of ecologies, the deaths of millions of creatures, environmental & humanitarian catastrophes, and resultant social & geopolitical upheaval.) It doesn't really go anywhere after that, soit's kind of an oversized episode of a regular show - which presumably was Tsuruta's overall _Spirit of Wonder_ manga. So I don't regret watching it, but I couldn't recommend it either.
