Story (2/5) : The story is badly constructed. The point of the anime is to focus on the character rather than the story, but the characters are so stupid and annoying. Some people say the characters are "real", I think not. Shinji is the most boring character I've never encountered, the philosophical and psychological approach is an epic fail. Then you have the silent mysterious girl (good thing she's silent, otherwise she would say crap like the other characters), then the obvious tsundere retarted beautiful European girl. They wasted so much time on their average life crap that they didn't have time to focus on the story. And guess what ? They've put so much information in one episode that I didn't even paid attention to 50% of it because things went to fast.

Dialogue (1/5) : No, just, no. It was piercing my ears.

Animation (4/5) : For a 1995 anime it was very great animated. Too bad the content of the anime was crap.

Entertainment (1/5) : This show is made for people who watch "mentally mature" anime instead of watching shows for pure entertainment. If you're looking for a story/plot driven/good thriller/action driven do not watch this. If you're looking for good character development that are integrated in the plot/story/action and that doesn't bore you to death, do not watch this. If you want a slice of life with blend/cliché characters with an potentially epic story that is treated mostly as a filler, than watch this. (show less)
