Honestly, I have seen many different anime in my lifetime, and many different genres. I have seen shows with sad endings before like code geass and your lie In April, and just as many with happy endings. However this show is some how different from all the others. I honestly felt like I had a connection with the characters, and cried after watching the ending which I don't really do. Please, if you're looking for an anime to watch and have not seen this anime yet, introduce yourself to this masterpiece.
