A could have been masterpiece butchered.
I don't write many reviews, and this is an old anime that I'm sure not many will watch now days, and it's likely no one sees this but.
I need to say this and I will keep it short cause I don't like long reviews.
I'll start by saying that this anime had a very good premise, and the story drew me in instantly, I was in love with the characters and the plot. as things developed it only got better and better, I'd say up to around episode 15 or so can't say for sure but at one point they just dropped the ball after a certain time skip that took the anime from what I would have given a 10/10 or 9/10 to 4/10 5/10. but I have to be fair even if I'm very displeased with the way they decided to end this anime. towards the end they started doing a lot of cliché that started to make no sense, they changed characters in ways that didn't make any sense. as if they wanted to force the anime to be tragic on purposed and it was forced. the more they tried the more plot holes they left behind. I can only describe this anime as a beautiful Titanic that ends as soon as ship sinks. I don't mean that this anime is like titanic, I mean that the story is the boat itself. I wished I had dropped it halfway through.
overall I will give it a 6/10, I wanted to give it a 7. I really did, and the ending makes me want to give it a 3. but overall the amazing start and middle of it will carry my final score to a 6.
it's good but I don't recommend it. unless you're a fan of Shakespeare. and you can overlook big plot holes that make no sense.
