I couldn't shake the feeling that it was giant waste of time. The fights were average at best, and it was difficult to care about them due to the monster-of-the-week nature. You say the pacing was good, but I didn't see that at all. You'd get 30 minutes of slice-of-life and then ten minutes of fighting. There was absolutely zero cohesion between these two aspects of the show. How could I be expected to care about a little girl playing soccer, or how good her curry is, when there's planet-threatening things go on? It's incongruous and off putting and it completely removed me from the series. The ending was alright, though :p My opinion has usually been in the ball park of yours, but I can’t believe how much I disagree with you about this series.

Never having heard of it I went looking for reviews. Yours convinced me to buy it. Thank you! I recently came across a reasonably-priced DVD set of Figure 17.

The only flaw i can see is that it slows much when it comes Tsubasa's bad attitude of life and becomes boring. But it comes back great whan there's Hikaru showing up :) This anime deserves a 10-.

Another Figure 17 fan. It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I love it. The double length episodes, as you say, allows the show to do things differently. What it did do was get me to honestly care about what happened to Tsubasa. Yay! Another Figure 17 fan. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, but I love it.
