One of my favourite series' of all time. The side-stories are so heart-warming while the main plotline is tear-jerking.
Every aspect of this anime, from the animation-style and set designs to the background music and storylines, is so beautifully produced and combined that this can be considered one of the decade's best Japanese produced animation.
The production company, Kyoto Animation, and all affiliated personnel really outdid themselves with this series.
A must-watch to those who love an emotionally-conductive story which will certainly make one fall in love with the main protagonist and the supporting cast.
