“Norn 9” is an adaptation of a shoujo visual novel. In a future fantasy world 2
girls and 9 boys with super powers live on a county-sized flying ship that
floats above the clouds that cover a devastated earth. The teens get a notice
that another super-powered teen has been located and go out and find her
slipping into a lake in the snow. A bishii saves the girl with his super-plant
powers and they take her back to their flying ship. There the teens introduce
themselves, but the new, pink-haired girl doesn't remember her name. That
doesn't bother anyone so the plant-power bishii takes Pink Hair on a tour of
their flying paradise. Pink Hair is amazed at everything that she sees, and
eventually falls through half of the open space in the ship and into a lake
where she remembers a name that a Wanderer gave her long ago (but it's not her
original name). Plant Guy rescues Pink Hair and just as they reach shore there
is an explosion above and everyone starts to look worried and mad.

This was a very dull start to a show that otherwise had some fairly good
background eye candy. Maybe if Pink Hair wasn't there as a zero-dimensional
surrogate for the audience there could have been some real conflict and
development, but of course, Pink Hair was there so that there would be three
boys for each girl (and no boys would have to go fishing while they waited their
turns...).

So despite all of the nice background eye candy I won't be around to watch more
paint dry on this show. My final rating is C.
