Hey, Rocklobster, would you mind answering me a question? One point on your review confuses me a little. It says in the review that "Sexual Content Details--
Actually, in this probable future, much like the future of "Brave New World," sexuality is basically frowned upon and virtually unknown. This is demonstrated in episode 6 when one of the astronauts from the past open-mouth kisses Sophia, and she mistakes it for mouth-to-mouth."

If that's the only sexual content, was there a reason that it got a four? Or did you think that this singular instance of sensuality consituted a four?

Thanks, and so sorry if I'm being dense here! ^^;
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

It was probobly for the clothing of some is my guess. I liked this one. It was a bit short (plus or minus depending on how you look at it) but the story was good and the animation was as well.

That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life
It all starts with a lullaby

It's because it's a french kiss. I also gave it a four because it may be difficult for younger viewers to understand why Sofia is offended by this. It was also because I realized some of the uniforms were a little revealing. Of course, if you've read "Brave New World", you'll have no trouble understanding this series.
