Yeah this was definitely the best done arc, the symbolism and creative direction they went with many of the scenes were amazing. I fell for Shiori far more in the anime then I did in the manga. The Kanon arc was (still is) shit compared to this.
This series is turning out as a great showpiece of how to differentiate and maximize the potential of anime as a medium when your original source came from manga. It delivers the same message as the manga did, but in a way all its own that merits watching it. Really love it when I stumble upon a series like that.
