I cannot believe the top reviews giving such low scores, but I can understand that. I too really hate generic character molds and cliches, but yet I find this heartwarming story to be quiet enjoyable and an in-a-way-fun journey. Mind you I am not a "sophisticated" or veteran reviewer, so to express how I feel about this anime, I give not the scores for art or other categories besides enjoyment. And for enjoyment it was a 9/10. The actual anime is an 8, but the ending (I just finished it a few minutes ago) kinda boosted it up a bit. And here are words to meetthe MAL review word requirements.
