This type of anime was very new to me, it involved a psychological element in its work, with both that of religion; gods.
At the beginning, I was gradually writing it off as something I would drop because of its slow pace, and strange settings, but, they grew on me, and I accepted the "Bleghgegeeg" jarble that appeared sometimes.
It made me question the likelihood of Gods, cults and other traditions and gave me ideas about shamans and priests from old times.
The ending to me was odd, when Taro was so close to finding his goal, he pushes it away, and accepts things as they are, and then Miyako (to me) started crying for no reason about him talking about his sister, even though she went through a completely different emotional trauma from being leader of a cult unknowingly. I would have thought that Taro and Miyako we're going to 'hook up' in the end, but because of their age, doubted it (which turned out to be true) and then those random things happened. There was one element I liked about the ending though: the transition of the cycle from old generation to new generation (the photos taken at the shrine) which then fades out leaving us all to wonder.
