I just could not get into this one. While it may have had a moment here and there that caught my interest I literally had to force myself to finish this film. First of all I found that opera is just not for me... no way no how! And even then most the scenes without the opera I found to be slow and boring. Oh well... they can't all be winners!

I have never watched this series before. The pilot is a good start. Though a little on the slow side. The animation is great and it looks like it could be an interesting story.
