I personally loved this show. I would advice this for anyone who is willing to give a chinese anime a chance.
Story: 9
The story was outstanding, not only did it tell two stories but was blended together superbly. One episode was of the present time and as we learn about he characters and what drives them now, we also get another episode of years before and saw them develop to what they are now. It did not feel forced nor did it feel out of place. It was a smooth transition and I was looking forward to each episode to learn more of their past
...
as well as what's happening in the present. Otherwise the story is rather simple, does not get too complex but for sure had a great storytelling aspect to it.
Art: 6
The art was nothing great nor was it displeasing to the eye. It is a chinese anime and today's standards it wont be anything above sub-par. It does have some CGI scenes that I wasnt too thrilled about but, it didnt take away the enjoyment of the show for myself.
Sound: 6
Copy past what I said about the art for the sound. Nothing outstanding, but neither is it bad.
Character: 9
I really liked how they developed the characters the way they had. You get to understand the sibling's feelings due to the way the show paces itself. It took time to develop it's characters splendidly and did not miss a step in doing so. The show really has only a handful of characters that the viewers get to see but they try to really make you understand them. Well mostly with the exception of two people. But I am happy they did not try to go into detail about a couple side characters due to this story being about the hardships of the siblings and really tried to bring them to life to the viewers.
Enjoyment: 10
One of the very few anime's that I actually did not get bored at any moment. i sat here watching and loving every minute of it. When I watch a great anime there are always those filler moments or downtimes that makes me feel like I just need to grind through it. Alas with this show I had not felt any of these moments. Maybe because they were telling two stories at once, or its because they are mostly 13 minute episodes either way I loved it!
Overall:8.5 - 9
Worth a watch for sure, its getting a second season so it did something right. Again though, if you are not into chinese anime dont watch it, if you are able to get by the different language and the lower grade art/sound that we have been having the pleasure in experiencing as of late then you will be in for a treat. Where the show lacks n the eye candy, they make up in the heart of the material. Found this on a chance and happy I did!
