Yet another example of why if you're even slightly interested in something you should check it out for yourself and make your own determination. This anime's rating is criminal. I almost feel as though I’ve watched something different than what the rating suggests. I found it to be extremely enjoyable, even though practically every episode made me cry. There were just a few minor things that I didn’t care for, I wish the opening credits didn’t reveal anything about what was to come and the final episode was a bit anti-climactic, but overall this was a great anime and I’m glad I watched it.
