This series is definitely one of the best anime drama series of all time. It's one of the few series that's able to perfectly condense a lot of it's side character development and emotional moments in nearly each of the mostly standalone episodes this series has, while slowly building up the main character development whom, by using other people thought and feelings began to understand them and herself. Soundtrack is amazing and mostly suited to the series theme and scenes, although it can be a bit repetitive at times. Graphics and animation are astonishingly beautiful, have a production quality that's on par with many anime theatrical movies, setting a high bar for other anime series to follow up on. While on the other hand character development and emotional buildup is the strong point of the series, it also serves as a minor weakness as some side character that are introduced have too little development while others properly developed and mature enough to have the audience heavily invested in their story. Overall this is a great and must to watch for everyone who love anime and drama adaptations. Beware if you are a crybaby :D
