actually dissapointing, despite great animation and story

I've always ben a fan of "period" animations, and the animation style is incredible. a very interesting storyline, some deep characters, but a bit rushed.
I became hooked on the first episode, and the promise it showed, then episode 2 was a different "story" with no explanation, after watching the rest of the episodes, it became clear why. however some information that probably should have been given wasnt, and the story seems rushed and incomplete.

it is not a kids anime, and it's not light viewing. although my scores give it "full marks" i was disapointed by the lack of completion, the need for viewer assumptions, and being a bit too short.
a good show, but i thnk it missed the mark, i'd only really give it 3 out of 5. they could have done more with it.
