the story and plot is mainly a tragic love story created by studion gonzo (Burst angel, full metal panic, helsing and trinity blood).
the anime focuses on two main characters shuji and chise.who are a normal high school couple living in sapporo. when shuji discovers a terrible secret.
chise is forced to do what she can to protect the one she loves(shuji).
a surprising and impressive anime but still with some improvments and no chance for a second series.
the live action movie that was realsed in 2006 is a well made movie with a good amount to live up the expectations but per normall doesn't live up the anime. but still an amazing film.
the art is very similar to recent works of gonzo but still with the odd error like the red lines on their cheeks that always go off there face. not to pull srings but as soon as you see it you keep noticing it.
The music is excelent not very good to start off but soon all the music seen to grow on you.
all in all one of the most depressing anime ever made but extremily good and well thought of.
10/10
