Up first we have this show. Now this show was a great one. I just recently re-watched this show (My 3rd time) and I still enjoyed it very much. The characters, plot, and story were all enjoyable. I'm sure many of us have watched this show already. Yes it is a sad anime. Though when compared to a certain heart-breaking anime, this show is not so sad. Especially after watching it a 3rd time. It still leaves me sad but not as much as the first time I watched it. Still it is a spectacular show.
I loved each and every character of this show. They really filled their roles of support characters and each of them had their own unique personality. Such as Noda, the stubborn, hard-headed, violent guy who only listen to Yuri or TK the supposedly American, mysterious, breakdancer who no one seems to know what he is gonna say next. Each and every character made this show all the more enjoyable.
The OP and ED of this show was very nice. I think it really matched well with the mood of the show, especially the ending song. It really matched with certain episodes and overall gave us that good "closure" feeling. I also liked how in the ending animation they would change certain things about it due to the progression of the story.
Now then....as with every other anime this show had some flaws. 1st flaw: Not enough episodes. 13 episodes were not enough for this anime. Why? Well one thing is that the ending of the show felt rushed. Due to certain events happening, a flood of information just suddenly comes rushing in and they cover the whole, I want to say, "concept" of this show in a matter of 2 episodes. 2nd flaw: Relating to the first flaw, each character was not covered. I wish they would've have covered each character's story. At least the ones we always see. I especially wanted to know of TK's past. If they did this maybe the show would've had more.....impact on me.
Well thats enough of my rambling. This show was nice and if I were to rate it I would give it a 9/10. It had some flaws but still enjoyable in the end. If you haven't watched it yet then I recommend this show. Sen out~
