Yes, the movie is very predictable and full of cliché's as stated in some of the commentaries.
So what? How many different versions of Cinderella have you seen so far? All cliché and predictable, isn't? In my opinion what is outstanding in this movie is Ally Sheedy's performance, and that is what makes this movie worth seeing. Superb is her acting, particularly in the scene with the final confrontation between Deb and her father.
The music that plays in the background during that final confrontation scene is also really beautiful. Looking up in the end credits, I guess it is called "February", but I could not find it anywhere so far.

UPDATE on Feb/5/2011: Found a Collectors Edition with 7 DVDs (Region 4) at livrariasaraiva.com.br website for R$99.00 plus R$84.00 ship and handling to USA.
Thanks for the other reviewer who mentioned the DVDs.
P.S.: I still think it is way better than Superman... ========== Original 2005 review below >>>>>
Saw this series when I was a child back there in Brazil, where it was a great hit.
Everybody, even the kids who were not Japanese, knew how to sing the songs from this series.
Later on, I heard there was a VHS collection of this TV series that was produced in Brazil but never found it.
Better than Superman, in my opinion.
Being a Japanese descent in a predominantly Caucasian country, this movie made me feel proud of my Japanese heritage.
I do recognize, though, that it is not much of American taste; although people who enjoyed Modzilla and other Japanese disaster movies may appreciate this series.
Or perhaps the Anime fans, particularly of the Star Blazers (Yamato) series, who knows?
