Ha.. Got this anime on my backlog, and decided to watch it today and ended up marathoned all the 12 episode in one day.

God, talk about mood swing....

Anyway, the first half of this show is kind of weak for me, and then the second half come and i can't stop watching it. Episode 10 was painful to watch, sucks to be teiichi having to relive all of yuuko bad memories, Episode 11 was building up for a bittersweet end with Yuuko seems to be slowly disappearing.

And then the last episode, the freaking last episode. I thought I was prepared, steeled my mind and accepting yuuko's fate. But oh god, when requiem start, when yuuko can't speak anymore and she wrote down all of those words.. that hits me really hard and that was the worst cry i have ever hard, i was literally bawling and snorting myself out, yes it was that bad.

Then comes the epilogue, there was this sort of mixed feeling i had, happy that teiichi and yuuko get their somewhat happy end, but also i felt i had just been sucker punched.. i mean after that beautifully executed sad parting scene (one of the best ever) then in another 2 or 3 minute i get the revelation that everything is fine?

Anyway 8.5/10 i have rewatched the parting scene over and over, its just that beautiful.
