Episode 2 "La Reminiscencia" mainly deals with June and her determination to get through the high-tech version of Dante's Divine Comedy. The episode emphasises June's character and concentrates on June and Mayo's plight while trying to escape from the tower; the other crewmembers have only minor parts. During this episode, June has a memory flashback and we discover that she was found by April in the abandoned Sol Bianca. June is over confident and egotistical to a fault. She would not have reached heaven (the top of the tower) without Sancho pointing out the traps. The computer generated character "Sancho" looks like a version of Genie found in Aladdin. He plays a light-hearted character that I believe does not fit in well with the story.

So far in the series there is no strong theme connecting episodes, and this episode can be watched and understood without viewing the first episode. The only element that connects the first episode with the second is the appearance of the Terra Force, but if you have not seen the first episode you will assume that the Terra Force is after the same treasures as the Sol Bianca. The unique play on Dante's Divine Comedy piqued my interest in the story line of this episode. The superb animation, which is a dazzling treat for the eyes, and great music closely rival that of the first episode. "You're not all alone," being the stand out music track. The DVD layout is outstanding, one of the best I have seen. The menus resemble the control panels of the Sol Bianca and each section of the DVD is easily accessed. I will continue the series not only for the story content, but also for the superb animation and the great music.
