A really great series! Even though the animation and action is a bit lacklustre, I can't help but really like this anime. It's something about those beautiful watercolour settings, the amazingly real characters and every now and again that one song comes on (with the piano and choir... nooo, Casca, don't be sad, it'll be alright :( It is all sorts of amazing. Be warned, this is only an adaptation of the first part of the manga. It does NOT have a proper ending.
