One of those classic series you should see. Story is quite captivating, but there are at least two character stereotypes which sometimes look silly in their dialogues. There were episodes which had had a slow start, but in the end the pace was very good. And great conclusion as well.
This is not your typical anime where you will get super power characters or funny high school life. This anime show the human effort of trying to survive and keeping sanity intact as a human being even when given the harshest environment and situation. Even though its not a flashy anime and its pretty old, it has its moral values which teaches the meaning of being human.
