There's something about this anime that makes one very receptive to the things happening there. It's one of the few shows that can make me laugh and hurt and then sigh with every switch of the mood they presented.
The characters, with their quirks and flaws somehow balance each other out. They are a dysfunctional bunch who manage to heal each others' wounds, somehow. Of course, they are exasperated at each other often (this is where the comic relief comes in), but it's only because they get along. Somehow.
The pace of the anime was fast, if you consider the storyline, but the way delivered it was in a sort of lovely lazy way that just sucks you in. The OST matched each episode quite well; the washed out quality of the videos actually suited the story.
