>>279678518 (OP)A good first couple episodes, an extremely boring next couple, an UNWATCHABLE third set and then the greatest kino ever aired. Its last episode is one of the only things I've ever watched where the experience OF WATCHING it is burned as strongly into my memories as the content itself is; remember quietly whispering to myself 'this will be the greatest ending ever if they specifically don't tell us anything at all about what happened after', and then it just knocked it out of the fucking park, it's SO fucking good.
Up there with Muv-Luv as the greatest pieces of media you can never, ever recommend people experience, the only way you'll ever get to the fucking phenomenal payoff is if you're the type to have discovered it on your own. Also the only appropriately-paced dialogue centric anime ever made, the only and only example of a show that I never once had to speed up to 1.4x minimum.
