It's a girly anime I guess, and I'm not a girl. I'm not particularly an anime fan either although I've seen a few others that I enjoyed.
This show was just so wonderful for me. I don't really know what words would describe it. It resonated with me, personally, on a lot of levels. And I think the themes it has would probably resonate with lots of other people, although possibly/probably in slightly different ways. But that's the fun of art, everyone gets to see it the way they want to.
Anyhow, I just really loved this. The whole series was absolutely fantastic. It had a few overly silly moments maybe, and a few overly dramatic ones. It probably could have been done a tiny bit better. But it's easy to criticism small things like that after the fact.
Whoever was responsible for this manga/anime, I think they really nailed it. And I'm very glad I had the chance to see it. I'll see it a second time once enough time has passed that it seems "new" again. And maybe I'll go out and buy it. That's kind of likely, actually.
Great show. Great characters. Great music. Great.
