Sorry fans but I have to break those 5 stars rating

I watched this Anime because of his excellent rating and so my expectations went really up for this one, but in the end there is no way I could give this anime 5 stars. It's still one of the better ones out there, though.

The story mainly deals with the death of a girl and how her 5 friends cope with it, but there are also themes like love, Growth and Self-Realization so the story is excellent in it's topics. But there were some details that really annoyed me and I didn't find the story as touching as other reviews say. And I am usually a real crybaby so I can't really understand those other reviews (I admit that the end was great).

Imo the Dialogue in this anime is what takes everything down. THEY usually cry.. and half of the time it's like the "oh? Why am I crying?" kind of crying. Also I recommend to NOT watch this in one go like I did.. As others say it's a meaningful anime with lots of thoughts and story behind it. If you, like me, watch it to fast their rapid change in emotions will just annoy you and you won't be able to enjoy this to its fullest.

Nothing to say against the animation..exspecially the last episode(s) were made really well. But that's standard today anyway.

So all in all it still is one of the better anime out there but for a drama to not be really touching takes most of it's entertainment. It still has it's meaningful side, though
