I just completed my second viewing of this series, and I must admit I loved it just as much the second time. Armed with knowledge of future events the plot feels much more coherent and less confusing. All of the elements that were stellar on first viewing - character design, animation, sound design, casting - hold up 100%. I stick to my guns on this one - this is a great series.
Really, though, the most amazing element to me is Production I.G. itself. To have released both GH and Seirei no Moribito in the same year... Wow. That's an incredible artistic achievement for a studio.
