Even worse than ShinJun's in the other thread? Smile

Yes... somehow that description is worse, it manages to be wrong on every count.

I think I can understand how this series gets so misunderstood though. Most dark shows like to present themselves as such. You can tell right away they're going to be depressing.

With this show, it's not hidden, but it doesn't telegraph it much either. The authors managed to avoid falling into any number of cliches most of the usual gothic drek falls into.

Still even from the first episode I noticed this show was going to be different...

// almost makes a jaded anime fan like myself want to watch more anime

The 'High Flying Adventure' definitely points to the first episode, which showcases a little hoshimaru-assisted skysurfing.

Never never never show this to anybody without first making sure that they can handle it... this is like, "Now and then, Here and There"-class cute presentation / disturbing realization.
sex, violence, murder, bullying, rape, homicide, suicide, patricide, and just about everything else you can think of. Not glorified, just shown in sharp brutal succession.

Not for the weak of heart.
