"Tumbling, burning with white hot fire, I plunged into the depths of the abyss. Unspeakable pain, relentless agony, time ceased to exist. Only this torture and a deepening hatred of the hypocrisy that damned me to this hell. An eternity passed and my torment receded, bringing me back from the precipice of madness. The descent had destroyed me. Yet, I lived." - Raziel
"But suppose you throw a coin enough times... Suppose one day, it lands on its edge."
"Hate me, but do it honestly."
"History is irredeemable."
"At last, the masks had fallen away. The strings of the puppets had become visible, and the hands of the prime mover exposed. Most ironic of all was the last gift Raziel had given me; more powerful than the sword that now held his soul, more acute even than the vision his sacrifice had accorded me; the first bitter taste of that terrible illusion: hope."
- Kain
I only watched the first episode... wasn't terrible but I'm not in any rush to go watch the next episode you know what I mean? It's on the same level as Fairy Tail for me atm.
If you like mushishi, you might like the movie 5cm per second. It has one of the best visual art in animes and the story is great too (if you like romance).
