Figure 17 25th Anniversary Rewatch Interest Thread
# [Figure 17](https://files.catbox.moe/7jupwf.jpg): Tsubasa & Hikaru Rewatch Interest Thread
Hello everyone, and welcome to what will (hopefully!) be the first rewatch I host. I chose Figure 17 for this because I think it's a show a lot of people would enjoy, but one that not necessarily many people have seen. I saw it for the first time last year and pretty much immediately loved it, and I hope many people would feel the same.
**What is Figure 17 about?**
Figure 17 is, primarily, a character drama centered around a socially anxious and introverted 10 year old girl that moved to rural Hokkaido with her father and now feels completely alienated by those around her. All of a sudden, through sci-fi happenstance, she gets an alien twin sister who tries to push her outside of her comfort zone and experience all that life has to offer, while also fighting aliens trying to suck the life out of Earth.
Visually, Figure 17 is a masterful swansong of the cel era. "As one of the last cel anime produced, it utilized cels whenever possible, but when digital techniques were needed to execute the vision, they called in T2 Studio, the studio responsible for the digital portions of Princess Mononoke, to handle it. Combine this with an all-star OLM team most well known for handing Berserk 1997, and a very generous budget and production schedule by AT-X commissioning 13 46-minute episodes, it comes out being one of the best looking anime of all time.
From a writing perspective, it's fantastic as well. The main character Tsubasa is written expertly. She feel not like just a single character trait or idea given form, rather a fully fleshed out person with goals, desires, hardships, relationships, and thoughts that arise from the context that she lives in, and grew up in. Despite this complex character writing, she is distinctly, a child with problems that reflect that. But again, at no point does the writing minimize, look down upon, or otherwise deem her problems insignificant as a result.

Figure 17 has 13 episodes that are each 46 minutes long and is free and legally available to watch (granted you are in the USA) on [tubi](https://tubitv.com/series/2260/figure-17-subbed). I will say though that this release doesn't have the best quality, but there is always the option of [](#piracy).
**Dates**
If enough people are interested I'm looking to start the rewatch on February 22nd. For posting times I am currently thinking of either 22.00 CET (UTC+1) or 23.00 CET depending on what fits people's schedule better.

Commentaires
* Include **basic information about the anime** such as a description for those that haven't heard of it as well as where it can be watched (if legally available).
* Specify a **date and time** that rewatch threads will be posted. Consistency is good!
* Check for **[previous rewatches](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/wiki/rewatches)**. It's generally advised to wait a year between rewatches of the same anime.
* If you want to have a rewatch for multiple anime, they should be **thematically connected**. You can also hold multiple unrelated rewatches if they aren't.
* Ensuring **enough people are interested** is important. If only a few users say they *might* participate, you may end up with no one commenting once it starts.

I hope this helps! You may also want to talk to users that have hosted rewatches before for extra advice, also listed [on the rewatch wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/wiki/rewatches).

In case any of you are still interested

Hmm I wonder who it could be after mentioning the team responsible for Berk '97 (and ToHeart and Stainless Night) [](#bigthink)
:happy:
> one of the best looking anime of all time
I have my doubts about that, but I do respect the shameless salesmanship. :-)
I partially rewatched it a while back, via Tubi on my Tivo, just to see what it would be like to watch on a TV. yeah, mp4 is the way to go :D

I would not mind 1 episode per day, but 1 per 2 days is fine, too.
