With excellent production values and a quality supporting cast, Millennium promises to take viewers to that scary place each week. This is not a show for the faint of heart. Seldom has network television been more graphic. While much of the horror is not shown, there is enough on the screen to disturb. The real question will be whether the average viewer will want to enter Carter's own version of The Silence of the Lambs every week.
Millennium is scary, and perhaps, just a little too close to home.
Kathie ack to the top. Review by Tasha Robinson enerally speaking, giant battle robots and cute schoolgirls with romantic problems are common but mutually exclusive genres in Japanese animation. Noriko is neither skilled nor confident, but she feels she has to make it into space because of her father, a heroic space captain whose ship went down in an alien attack. This tragic heritage draws contemptuous jeers from some of her bratty older classmates, but also attracts the kindly attentions of gorgeous senior pilot Kazumi Amano. Noriko's past also gets her a free ride into space with Kazumi, as the two girls are chosen as Japan's representative pilots despite Noriko's lack of training and clear ineptitude with her battle-suit.
