Simply put, this is very easily my favourite anime. It's incredibly well written and directed, and the score is incredible. The series is relaxing, meditative and beautiful. It's a work of art.

A quite good but "difficult" anime. I did not regret having watched it, but the "rewatch" cycle might span 10-20 years :)
