Honestly, what got me into it and kept me watching was the animation. I loved the softness of the colors and the lines and the overall harmony of it all. But when it comes to the plot, honestly, it was a bit disappointing. You start off thinking there's a great story about to unfold, but it doesn't really go anywhere and has a really weird development that is not altogether coherent, full of sidetracks and such (but that's just my opinion). The characters are also kind of bland and unattractive (not in appearance), especially the main character who is most of the time indifferent and brain-dead. Seriously, you feel he needed a good beating from time to time. And the guy with the white hair (can't remember his name) is a jerk.
I have to admit that what really made me watch until the end was the desire to know what happens to Yoite and Miharu. Weirdly enough, it's a touching story. I say weirdly because neither of the characters is particularly likeable. But by the last few episodes I was just hoping for someone to die and prayng for the series to end.
