I agree. Almost done with first season, and so far I would have to say it is extremely well done.
Not dramatic, but still excellent in an artistic way. Kinda like Mushi-shi.
I'm a sucker for dramatic and sad scenes, which so far haven't appeared in this anime. But can't have everything, can we?
And seriously, that ending. It is divine, even if they need a course in English pronunciation. Very similar in style and quality to the ending of Clannad (dango dai kazoku)
It's just annoying that my download only had subs for the first three episodes. Consequently I downloaded subs from some site, excellent quality, but these only go up to episode 11.
Need to download another release just for the subs of the last two episodes ;____;
