I started watching this, primarily because of the Japan earthquake. This was the only anime that was primarily getting discussed. After having watched it, this is an anime that really stirs the soul. I watched all 11 episodes in two days. For the first episode, I was fascinated by how great the animation was. What got me hooked was the relationship the main characters have and how that relationship is strengthened in times of turmoil. Highly recommended, mainly because it's different. It's more of an adult themed anime like Gantz only because you have to hang in there through till the end. Even after having watched it and seen how it ends, my eyes still to this day water up watching episode 10.
