Never Forget Your Childy Curiosity
Spirit Of Wonder Scientific Boys Club is a movie about 3 old men who still has the childish wonder in their hearts, but needs one of their members daughter do the accountulations.
The characters are so sweet, and relationship adversity between the woman and her husband is understandable, because she just wants the husband in the bed beside her.
And the old scientist who truly feels like they still have the childish side to them, and one of them cannot stop wanting to see girls panties.
it looks amazing and has that beautiful coloring of the late 90s anime, and the backgrounds are so nice and comforting.
Is the best movie about a Boy Club, where the membership average is 40 plus.

Short version:
The Scientific Boys Club is a wonderful, "modern" sci-fi fairytale about a woman and three old men achieving their pipe dreams... and a drunk guy.
Long version:
Imagine grandpa tells you about the time he flew to Mars on a ship he built with two of his old buddies and a drunkard, based on some completely bogus theory. That's total nonsense, right? But what if it /were/ true?
That's the point of Spirit of Wonder: Scientific Boys Club.
It's a very feel-good story, not just because of the slow pacing and realistic characters, but also because it grants the unrealistic wishes of these characters.

Not much to see here. I came as an enthusiast of space-themed anime, but this wasn't about space at all, but about physics, mathematics and calculation.
The story is shallow and nothing interesting happens at all; you are left with a couple of beautiful, very well-animated scenes, but no compelling events for the plot. They study, they drink, they build a kind of spaceship, go on their mission and... That's it.
It's like you're seeing a slideshow of some trip your uncle Joe went to in 1979 and all he talks about is how good it was, but you get no feeling out of it, you just can't relate. Uncle Joe is a bad storyteller. Maybe he worked on Spirit of Wonder.
The animation is adorable, the designs, the colors, the faces of the characters, all make you smile. Good music, it gets the mood rig…

The story of three old men who as boys had the dream of verifying the theory that there is life on Mars and how along with the daughter of one of them and her husband create a ship, yes a ship, and a ship with proppellors no less, to reach fullfill there fifty year old dream. Now there are many questionable parts of this OAV about the sci-fi bit and how it wouldn't actually be possible to do pretty much anything these guys did, but it gets away with it, you shouldn't really watch this for it science fiction, watch this for the warm atmosphere it gives.
I said it gives a warm atmosphere but looking at the setting you can't help but feel a little chilly, its always snowing, but this does provide a nice touch to the landscape shots. The setting is never really touched upon but they all have…
