Spirit of Wonder (OAV) Decent

This one episode OAV splendidly captures the sense of wonder promised in the title. Set in 1950s England, the eccentric Breckenridge and his assistant Jim devise a way of visiting the moon without leaving home. The story is charmingly sentimental and heaps of fun and the visuals are appealing even if the artwork and animation aren’t outstanding. The real star of the show is the voluptuous and appealingly designed China, the inventors’ landlady and the proprietor of a Chinese restaurant just outside Bristol. Muddle-headed and kind-hearted, she is tormented by all the men but somehow she always overcomes her indignation and inspires them to ever-greater achievements. The harassment she endures does spoil things even if it is supposed to be part of the fun.
