Story:
I really did like how they went through the story of this anime with more plot than most others give us. Especially the more popular ones such as Bleach. I found the story to be really enjoyable and at times tear jerkingly sad to watch. At points I wanted Tomoya to be with certain characters and at others I was happy with the outcome of the series. 8/10
Art:
I love the art style set out by Sentai film works in their productions, I have also loved all anime produced by this company even if only for the art work done by them. At the the different points in the anime it served to make the scenes just a little bit more beautiful while at the same time reminding us that anime characters are anime characters and they shouldn't look real. 9/10
Sound:
I have to admit that this is the weak point in the anime. If I didn't have the patients that I do, I wouldn't be able to sit through the anime's opening sequence. Though some of the music was catchy and got stuck in my head for months (Big Dangko Family), the score was slightly lacking in the opening sequence, which should have the best music in the entire episode. 7/10
Character Development:
Dear god this franchise has the best character and relationship development that I have ever seen. If you look at it, if they develop a character at all, they develop the shit out of that character. My personal favorite character is Akio. 10/10
Enjoyment:
This series had its sad scenes to make you cry, and its happy scenes to make you cry. I cried once in this arc, but wait until my review of Another Story. 10/10
