Sometimes I don't think that I choose my anime as much as it chooses me. Once I started in on this anime I really wasn't in the mood for anything else until I was done watching it. Still, this isn't my normal "bill-of-fare". This has a lot going against it: the target audience is female, it is not a fast paced anime, this is not cutting edge or hardcore, the story isn't even contemporary, sometimes I just wanted to reach into that anime and shake a few characters they could be so frustrating and there are three episodes that basically just recap what went on before (I hate that). So why watch it? I can only tell you reasons why I watched it. To start with it is just an engrossing and well told story. This anime is very imaginative, the art work is pleasing to the eye, the characters are very diverse (both the men and women), the storylines are complex but not so complex that you couldn't share this with most members of your family (preteen and up I would think) and it was often insightful as well as inspriational. So, you take the good with the bad in this one if you watch it. I can't promise you will like it but then again, you might love it.
