I loved this anime. Story: The storyline is simple, sweet, and straight forward. You can not help getting caught up with it. I do wish they had of carried the story on longer, but the end they chose feels right. The bit in there about the clone I did not really understand its significance; but all and all very enjoyable. Artwork: I actually really liked the art work for this one. The 'washed' out feel of the backgrounds lend to the slow pace of the story. There is not a lotof back ground animation.. most scene backgrounds are still, except for the story characters (not a lot of Traffic, people, etc, etc). For me, this added to the feel of the story.

Sound: It was ok. Spoken Dialog and the soundtrack/background noise had a nice balance. The music did not grab me, or leave any real impression on me actually. But it did not irritate me either, so all is good.

All in all, It was a great watch. It was refreashing to sit back and just watch a well told story. No real action, violence, fan service, etc. This one carries itself on content alone. Also, the simplicity and concept of the story can be enjoyed by all viewers.
