This series some pretty unforgettable stories one of which I like particularly is The Hanging Balloons. I haven't read the manga so my basis would be entirely on how the series was made.
1. The animation all looked similar . It could have been good but I felt like there was no connection on how each stories were grouped together in one episode.
2. It ends way too abrupt. I don't know if this is the way the stories are in manga but it always feel so open ended. Its like I am always waiting for something to be explained but then it just ends.
3. Going back on how it was animated, since it looked similar, watching it in one seating gets old pretty quick. I have some thoughts that this may have more impact as live action will effects and all.
Its an ok watch. I guess I just wanted more out of it. Also the ending music is quite comforting for a pretty dark animation.
