I'll get this straight. I'm remembering this piece forever. This anime is on a whole different level. The protagonist, Aslan, aka Ash, I bet you can't help yourself but love him. What a character man!!!! Eiji, Ash's beloved (tho it's not shown directly). This thriller gripping story is one of the rarest you would see. After watching it, you will title this a MASTERPIECE. The story is so heart wrenching and overwhelming that it left me crying for days. The OST , the animation, the character development and the FREAKING ENDING. There are some heartbeat skipping scenes, rollercoaster of emotions and that DAMN Ash's character, I can never get over the way I feel after watching this anime. Banana fish is a must watch.(No offence, but homophobes, stay away from my Ash and Eiji)
