Constant heart ache for me when watching this anime.

My brain/reasoning tells me to grade the show as an 8 for the typical "qualities" of the anime but you can say my heart wishes a better score.
Honestly I love every episode, the anime was almost flawless. It's just one little thing. Petty or trivial for those who've may have finished it. It was at the very end, I won't spoil. Though at the same time it caused a slit wonder of more to come but at same time it allows me to see..well I can't seem to describe it right, but like as the scores my reasoning and heart differ or contrast on if the last bit ending just right or just less than a millimeter off target.
There's art too, but it's not bad or below average just not uber fantastic beautiful that I would count it's art as penalty or whatever.

At the very beginning, just for a short while I didn't like Shun all to well. He seem to be the typical nice, mature, well-mannered boy who's top of the school or class, so I wished Saki would end up with Satoru 'cause I saw the storyline or matchup would be better. But you know what? Shun turned out to be one of the best character in not only the anime but in many I've seen and read. He's one of those you'd wish there could be more of, but not to be full of myself or anything but I truly never wished for that 'cause I knew then characters like him wouldn't be so special and memorable. Memorable may not make sense to anyone who hasn't completely finished to anime. Anywho, because Shun is such a character it makes this one certain thing so tragic and heart retching. If I continue on talking about Shun I'll likely really spoil something of not just Shun so yeah...I don't recommend this show for anyone younger than 14 or those easily frighten or traumatised 'cause this is a frightening anime in ways that'll take all while explaining and most won't understand anyway...so don't get any nightmares for those I've mentioned, okay?

Nice, would've made a wonderful movie if taken the time to.
