Very very nice! Did not like it much when I watched some episodes while it was ongoing. Had almost made up my mind to drop it, BUT then I changed my mind, and started watching it all over. Watching it back to back made one helluva difference. It has some comedy, which often means I don't like certain series. Heavens be blessed that did not happen while I was watching Shikabane. I'm so happy I decided to give it another try. The story and the characters interaction makes it a great watch. I want to watch the sequel Shikibane Hime Kuro, but I'll hold my breath and trynot to start watching it until it has finished airing.
