All's well, that ends well. The ending's really great. SPOILER ! ! ! First of all, this is an anime about war or battle. So, what happens in a war??? Many people die and that is war. Exactly that thing is brought up in this anime series. When the anime reaches its climax, you'll get an anguishing FEEL because people one by one is dying. But at the of the series, you'll get an understanding that what you watched was a glimpse of war. And it really touches your heart and leaves a mark. It's really really great. The story's awesome too, and characters as well. No complaintin that.
