I have watched this series, and I totally agree with the other guy. This is a very powerful and emotional story. I would encourage anyone, anime lovers or not, to at least check this one out. I would really love to see Bandai bring out another season or 20...as long as they are as good as the first...I was quite sad to see the story end, and am also left with a feeling of emptiness, (and I'm a 27yo guy) ha ha. This is a slightly sexually oriented show and is intended for more mature audience, however there a couple scenes were blurred\censored, I don't feel that is necessary, as it is art...hand animated drawings, not real images that these MATURE folks are viewing, I mean, whats the point in drawing it if you are just going to censor it back out? but thats just my opinion...anyway Great Series, A+, ***** Buy it, Watch it, Love it
