Didn't expect to like this one but I did. While story is somewhat predictable it's refreshing that we have adult themes and cast without screaming children and tournaments in school. Animation is a bit stiff at times but serviceable. Music leaves a lot to be desired but overall it was a good show. You will get occasionally upset at stupid decisions some characters make but overall it wasn't 24 episodes of tedium. My only disappointment was that Ginza wasn't more present in the story. Romance between her and main character only started to develop before they abandoned the idea and just made them comrades. She isa well rounded character, a bit weird but true to herself and strong.

Well worth the watch.
