Think this was the first anime that caught me completely off-guard. I only had this with Watership Down before when I was 4/5, Queen Millennia and Noir and such could be dark too but there I knew it. This here looked so different. I always remember that scene where the wounded friend was lying in a bed and the series makes you believe she was still somehow fine, but then MC tries to get her up and her whole back is glued to the bed with all that blood and wounds and shit she has and you knew she would die.

I really liked that series. It's one of those anime I absolutely cannot imagine to ever be made nowadays.

Eriri best girl

I agree

Don't know why people don't like this show. It's actually a solid entertaining series, but everybody seems to berate it because

True. It would be something like Angel Beats if it was

I honestly haven't even seen anybody even talking about it since 2007 or something. I wouldn't be surprised if less than 1% of animefans nowadays even knew it.

I vaguely remember liking this show, even though it was infamous.

good show

hating on angel beats is so reddit.
you can be a humorous drama and also incorporate tragedy. doesn't make it any worse.

Damn I didn't know that many anime that I loved were airing in that very year.
I remember how I was in an anime forum back then and only had one guy to talk to about Gun Frontier of which I was kind of a fan of but nobody else.
Also, I miss Bee Train and old CLAMP so fucking much.

The ending was good.

Never heard of this before but sounds interesting, downloading now.
Has anybody watched Piano? That could be good too. A lot of other series on this list were fucking great.
