Star Driver is a show about adolescence, and of course adolescents. They wander, get lost, make mistakes, try to find meaning in life, and try to do the right thing. Some of them fall in love, and others yearn to. There’s a pitiable few who get trapped there, and never learn to grow up. That’s Star Driver. There’s also a story, of course, and it does some cool things sometimes, but it’s not what’s ultimately important: the feelings, the friendships, and the adventures. If you just let go and let Star Driver carry you, it’s an incredible ride. Its biggest strengths are that it looks fabulousand has a strong, weird vibe. Its biggest weaknesses are its plot and repetitiveness.

Highly recommended.
