I was left gasping like fish more than once here. You'll also need to be paying close attention to all the plot twists! These little suckers come out of NOWHERE and twist the story into a completely different direction that one would expect. This is a thinking anime that touches on a ton of dark and deep issues. I wouldn't recommend this show if you're just looking for some simple anime that would kill an afternoon. I'll definitely have to do some re-watching to get all the little nuances and plot points down. There's just so much depth, and it's so cerebral. The story of this show is something else. I'm sad to see it end 'cause I want more of this world, but, on the other hand, I'm glad it's got a definitive ending and isn't really leaving us cliff-hanging. those there, though, this anime is one of the best things I've seen in a while, even better than Hikaru no Go which had be so wrapped up spring break. This would be my first review to be an absolute 10 in score if there weren't just a few unanswered questions and assumed understanding after everything was said and done. It's got beautiful and THICK plot, hidden meanings, a GORGEOUS musical score, wonderful and zany characters, and enough emotional hitting power to make me keep a tissue box handy for those sad and happy tears. Holy flippin' A!!! Where to even begin with this anime?! There is so much here that I look for in an anime I even added it to my favorites list before I was even done watching.
