I thought this was a single film!
For some reason I originally thought that this was a single Anime film when I ordered it online and was a bit(!) surprised when I opened the package and found it was 26 episodes on 6 disks!.Oh boy, I thought. Anyway, I watched the first 2 episodes and was completely blown away. This is fantastically good and I can't wait to see how the adventures of Clare and Raki pay out, and watch the rest of the episodes over time. This is Anime at it's very best-proper adult stories but played out in an animated form-like Wolf's Rain and many other classics. Anybody who thinks of these as cartoons just does not get it at all.
I haven't lodged a rating yet but will do so when I have watched more episodes, but at the moment it's looking like a 9 or a 10..
