everything is literally great from casting to storyline i would recommend watching the anime or reading the manga AFTER this because those go into more depth but it's by far the best anime adaptation.i have done all three so the story has been engraved in my mind but i don't care. it's probably the first show i have cried on during the game where karube and chota died but their acting was phenomenal and i can't understand how a show this great can be made oh my god i could go on and on about how good it is
