The story is a complex look at the harsh nature of reality where our hope for technological salvation isn't quite reachable. This series offers a glimpse into the very darkest aspects of the 'soul.' Humanity is on the brink of it's existence and the survivors are broken inside like shards of glass. The remaining humans electing to live in poverty in a struggle to hold onto any resemblance of a life, clinging to the scraps of civilization.

The pacing of this series is tediously slow although the rewards for watching are numerous. There isn't much dialogue, electing to rely on symbolism, flashbacks and the ability of the viewer to put the pieces together.

This series might not be appealing to newer fans of Anime but people willing to explore and search out the classics, revolutionary or simply older Anime; will enjoy this series. This is one series that shall stay with me, it's a truly unique series that deserves more love and respect. This series is truly an overlooked gem.
