I haven't watched anime in years. This series was one of the first series that I watched to break the hiatus, and I have to say it was a very good pick.
I loved the first half of the season especially, there was a very poignant, meaningful and spiritual message to be had. The second half, while equally as good, didn't appeal to me as much as the first half. I guess because it dealt more with ordinary day-to-day themes and less of the emotional/spiritual themes, and so my interest just started trailing off ever so slightly. However overall I appreciate the maturity of this series, the realistic portrayal of the struggles of adult life, as well as the lack of any typical anime cliches or tropes.
