Trailer

I heard about this anime first when I was listening to some anime openings and this popped up. The intro was extremely catchy and still one of my favorites to this day. Then, I saw this anime again when I was watching a video on the top 10 short anime to watch. I figured to give it a watch since it was the most recommended one. Let's just say, I was more than satisfied with the show.

It first made its appearance in Kadokawa Shoten's Young Ace on June 4th, 2012, it then later got licensed in English by the Yen Press. An anime adaptation was made by A-1 Productions (an AMAZING animation team) and was aired Fuji TV in Japan on January 8th, 2016. And thus, the anime was born.

In the 12 episodes of this anime, I was glued to my seat the entire time. I watched it all in one sitting and my mind was blown. It was a slice of perfection. This is a must-watch for anyone that is an anime fan or non-anime fan. The plot and the storyline are solid and unique. The characters are lovable and feel like real people. The animation is beautiful and does a really good job of setting the mood for scenes. The OP depicted the anime perfectly. The pace of the show is never too slow or too fast and is really easy to follow along.

My rating 9/10

Still and will remain one of my favorite animes of all time.
