Wow, what can I say. what a work of art. I am certain i knew what to expect to a certain degree, but I was absolutely blown away regardless. I never saw the series or had any exposure to it before seeing it recommended to me on netflix one day, so I added to my queue and eventually made time to watch it. Heartwarming stories like this one are my bread and butter, I love nothing more than to watch anime like this. To be able to feel warmth, sorrow, laugh and cry. And boy do I mean cry. I can't really do it anyjustice by trying to put it into words. The best way to know what I am talking about is to give yourself an hour and a half, and watch it.
