This is my all time favourite anime. It is is ONLY anime (or book, manga, movie, ect) to EVER make me cry. I found such a connection to the story and the characters, and few animes can do that to me. Even though this story is futuristic, it still sends out deep messages concerning things that matter today. I reccomend watching this anime for anyone and everyone: it is good for both genders, and all ages. It has everything; drama, sci-fi, romance, action. I admit that I was skeptical of this anime at first because of the art style, but I came to like theart style a lot by the end of the anime. Just be warned: this anime might make you cry.
