Reviews

This anime can be taken in a lot of different ways. It can be taken as an example of a miracle between two lovers in distant lands, or it can be taken as a lesson that anything is possible when you have hope. Interpreting the meaning of this anime is almost impossible for me.

This was really a rollercoaster for me, but it ended up at 9.2/10. The first episode gave an essence of it having a typical romance/comedy type of thing and at that point I really didn't expect much from it. But I decided to watch on, and I've seen it in a different light.

Story: 9.5/10
Even though, the anime didn't show all the things in the novel (or I am presuming that it didn't), I was quite satisfied with it. Actually, I was really satisfied. The story development over time was one of the things I admire in this anime. It wasn't full of excessive violence that will take away the main focus of the story, but was just enough to show the stress and the intensity in it. The love development was also something to admire, even though it was already predictable.

Art: 9
The art and detail in this anime was excelent. It really gave you the feeling of Europe in that era. Also, it also went with the mood of the scenes. It wasn't excessive with fancy colors, but was enough to be well portrayed.

Sound: 9
One of the best BGM tracks I have heard. Each one fit the scene it was set almost perfectly, especially at the scenes where the characters show emotion of sadness and desperation of seeing each other. Of course the comedic BGM tracks were also admirable.

Character: 9.5
Each of the protagonists were really well developed throughout the story. The emotional development between the two was really something. The protagonists are good, but the side characters fit their roles really well. Each one contributed to the emotional sense of the story, even those ones you will only see in one episode. They were also entertaining at times as well.

Enjoyment: 9
I really enjoyed the story as a whole, but I really would love some type of follow up in the story, or something that would describe each of the protagonists adventures and feelings between the times where they were seperated and the end. That is the only thing I want to see.

Overall:
As I said in the beginning, I gave this series a deserving 9.2 (if not, higher). Definitely one of the best animes out there.
