The contrived and cliched storyline is fed in drabs and threatens to turn into something good without ever realising this threat. After getting halfway through the show, it spends at least 3 episodes just repeating old material. Then when you get near the end, like a second punch in the face when you're down it has another 5 whole episodes of material repeated from previous episodes. And WHAT material! Repetitions of nothing much happening at all. Now I love movies and series where not much happen and where the enjoyment comes from the portrayal rather than a traditional climax driven storyline; but this series has nothing else going for it.
The biggest tragedy of this series is the ending that is so pseudo-metaphysical I want to give the writers angry words for the insult to my intelligence. Whilst I'm sure people who think might consider "Greys Anatomy" well-written were probably mind blown by the semi-mystical ending, If you have any intelligence whatsoever I'm giving good advice here: this anime is not only a huge waste of time, but totally embarassing. I'm left wondering "How could they pass of this junk" and "If this got an average review of 8, then this is a bad sign for anime".
