Another tear-jerker anime. I can say that I've QQ'd too much just after watching episode 1.

ED song - Secret base, makes me want to cry even more. @_@

Out of the 10+ animes I'm watching this season, this one gets the number one spot.

Also, +1 for Nokemon!

Oh, if you only know how much I wish that they play SCANDAL's Kimi ga Kureta Mono at least once before the anime ends...

agreed on the "best anime of this season" part... ^^
I cant wait what will be the conclusion of the story!

Yeah this is the anime that made me cry manly tears, the ED being Secret Base doesn't help either lol

So far the storyline has been very good.

All I can say is, I watched the first Episode on Saturday morning, finished the 7th one (most recent episode) by night.
Absolutely love it! It's up there in my favourites!!!
Secret Base as the ED, can this anime get any better?

The latest episode made me cry again, this is really splendidly done.

I know man, Just when I thought this anime couldn't get any better, it did.
It's shaping up to be one of my absolute favourites.

Anyone know how many episodes there will be?

It's funny because it doesn't say how many episodes there are.

Expect 13. There aren't as much summer shows, so we'll see how it turns out.

Tears on episode one? im watching this tonight.

The latest episode was the best one to date IMO

Really great anime, great storytelling!

This anime made me cry! I really love the story.

This is the first non action anime I watched, and it was SO good.
It was so sad especially the last episode, I was tearing up so much.
The songs fit in very well, secret base makes me want to cry even more D=

This was the first "slice-of-life" anime that I've ever watched, too. The first that didn't involve violence and/or science-fiction. I guess that's what really drew me in to this anime, because the story was about life (and death) and people. And it was awesome from start to finish.

You can find everything in this anime. Fast pacing, unusual yet refreshing story, engaging and well-written dialogue, brilliant illustrations, outstading voice actors and actresses (I wonder, though, if they themselves have ever cried while recording, especially during the tearful bits), and the perfect selection of opening and ending theme songs. Need I say more? :P

Definitely the best anime of the summer. Next to Steins;Gate. They both get top honors, for me. :D
