This anime is interesting. Personally, I just don't like the ending. I wished at least in the unrealistic world (anime) , Ash could enjoy the taste of real freedom. I wanted him to go to Japan with Eiji and lead a peaceful and happy life,. So I'm a little disappointed with the story (manga story on which this anime is based). If I were the writer, I'd have written a happy ending for Ash and his friends, which I doubt is actually possible. So I'll be really happy if I get to see a spin off of this Story either as a manga or as an anime of Banana fish if possible.
