I was skeptical about this at first, as the start was rather slow and a little odd, but I can say with confidence now that it's rare to find a series that simply does so many things right. Drama, emotion, and comedic moments only help excellent plot and character development; the dialogical script is realistic and flows well; and scenery art and music (there's a whole lot of the latter) are absolutely amazing, though the animation has a few hiccups. That the plot fits snugly into thirteen eps only helps too- the end's amazingly satisfying for the fact that the whole series is this short. Award-winning, and absolutely recommended!! Unless you're into hardcore only. >.< (show less)
