title is mainly cuz i'm sure it'll set it as four star which is not what i want, don't take this completely bad i own it on dvd and personally i should have torrented it, but the like 1/3 of the anime was really cool to me, it wasn't like a huge epic hero story with some impossible adventure to save the universe like most animes are, which is why i found this one to be up my alley, it was about day to day life and survival, where it lost me was when later in the episodes it attempts to scrape together a deeper plot (which is only in my opinion of course) to me it was unexistant until way later, and of all the cruddy anime andings i have seen this one was one of the most saddening obvious and bland endings i have had to sit through. it can be seen from a mile away and i had sadly called it from the beginning of when the plot decided to show itself, in all honesty, i would reccommend maybe the first 1/3 to first half of the series then tell you to just leave it at that, the last bit of it is not really worth seeing and would probably ruin the parts that could have made this anime great. On another note just so it's clear i do understand the importance of a good plot, but for this special case it was great in the sense that the general idea was it's life there is not story to stick to in it, just an adventure that writes itself as you go along, for this, i can't get enough of the beginning of the anime, it saddens me that i can't stomach the last half
