Review of Galilei Donna: Storia di tre sorelle a caccia di un mistero

A series with great potential, let down by a lack of run time. One of the few things that can ruin a series or turn a series lackluster is that the story they wish to tell does not fit the time frame given to it. That is exactly the problem with Galilei Donna, while the series is pretty enjoyable to a start it gets more and more notable that the shows pacing and development took a severe hit because it was limited to an 11 episode series. Galilei Donna tells the story of the Ferrari sisters as they travel the world searching for Galileo Gelileis lost sketches,the series tries to to fill itself with stories of sisterly love, loyalty, emotion, corruption and drama but it's all once again let down by lack of development and rushed plot points.
It also sports a big cast of characters who all could have been great but in the end became one of its biggest faults. All the characters except the main sister gets very rushed or overly convenient development, which is sad since at times the series shows how great it is but because it needs to fit the 11 episode margin, the pacing, development and tone was all over the place.
Also in terms of story it feels like it just played out just like you though it would. The story takes no risks nor does it do something amazing, it started out as a journey story and played out just like one. For you people who wishes for something mind blowing, you will be disappointed especially since the series shows signs of being able to be much more.

Though I would still give this series a recommendation since the animation is superb. A-1 Pictures are certainly great animators and the CGI used withing the show is seamless blended in, reminding me of series like Last Exile. The character designs and art direction is gorgeous and is probably among A-1 Pictures best work with a really wonderful cinematic orchestral soundtrack that accompanies the series perfectly.

All in all it's a rather lackluster series for what it's trying to pull off but even with what it's trying to pull off it wouldn't have been anything fantastic but still quite enjoyable for it's beautiful production values. If you want something to enjoy while not thinking to much give Galilei Donna a go.
P.s Hazuki is like cutest thing ever.
