Absolute unique story!!!!! and sadly underrated anime it was based on fantasy therefore I don't understand why some are criticizing it for not being realistic and philosophical whereas it gives the chance to audience to think outside of the box and despite the fact that not all of the parts have a legit explanation, it still has a mysterious cozy winter vibe which takes you into that world and because of that its a pity that people have dropped its score and we don't see this style of art anymore :( the sense of fashion of all the characters are very iconic and memorable. The emotionalside of the story is as well very heartwarming
Characters and background scenes are designed very beautifully and specially ahead of the time that this anime was released!
I truly recommend and wish it had been adapted into an anime series , so that we could get to enjoy it longer!
Also it had some historical references which is a bonus to the story.
Overall it was truly magical
