[Echoes]

I've seen quite a few animes since my last post, so I'll add a few. Though it seems a lot of people have already mentioned these, so it might be redundant. Nevertheless!

Air. Both the series and the movie were flawless works of art in my opinion, and the level of emotional involvement was very high. Misuzu was absolutely adorable (Nihaha), which made the whole anime all the more depressing. I can't help but smile when I think of her,

though the feeling is bittersweet. Some of the scenes are just heartbreaking, I especially recall the one where she comes walking out of the school and tells the crow that she couldn't find anyone to play with this summer either. And the ending is of course utterly depressing as well.

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora. I'm amazed they managed to put so much emotion, feeling and story into just 6 episodes. The series was less sad than Air, but it was still quitel an emotionally draining experience.

The ending was bittersweet, at least they'll hopefully spend a good amount of time together before she passes on. If she would have just died during the operation, as I feared she would, I would have just crumbled, emotionally.
