Story

Really good, don’t watch the last two episodes. The score would be an awful lot higher if not for the horrible horrible ending. I don't understand why it was done and the fact that it has been rewritten twice doesn't help my confusion. Elsewhere the story is actually very good and definitely should be watched. 

Animation

Feeling old now. Although at certain points you will be very impressed by the display that it puts on. 

Sound

The music was well done. The scores compliemnt the storyline greatly at almost every instance. The voices are O.K.

Characters

Some very nice portrayals, but with a healthy dose of confusion thrown in. The main character has good basis for being the way he is. Other characters will have you questioning. Why do they behave the way they do? 

Overall

I think every anime fan should watch this. It is nearly a right of passage type thing. It encapsulates the best and worst of anime in a handy 26 episode bundle
