First, I have to praise the animation and soundtrack, as they stayed consistently beautiful throughout the entire anime. They were easily some of the strongest aspects of the series. As for the ending, though, I found it rather underwhelming. I was expecting a much stronger emotional payoff, especially from a Jun Maeda anime, but it didn't quite deliver for me. Even so, I still had a great time watching the series, and there were plenty of moments that made the experience worthwhile.
