Comments:
It is hard to review Firetripper without giving away its secrets; I
will just say that this is the type of story most Science-Fiction and
Fantasy writers strive for in a short story format. The story takes
place alternately in the past and present, developing a growing link
between the two through a young woman's travels. A wonderful, romantic
story.
My gripes:
Animation quality is, as typical with OAVs, at the slower frame rate.
My likes:
Plot, Plot, Plot. This is a neat, intricate tale which isn't afraid
to show the darker side of history. In my opinion, the best of the
Rumic World series, though none are bad.
