Tickets aboard the feel train

To be honest, I never planned to watch this considering the simple name and boring synopsis. However, I was badly mistaken. This anime starts off with a tear-jerking episode one which was a smart move to capture audience attention. The anime then changes its focus from the expected weekly-retrieval to build up on characters, which turned out one its good points. Here's my analysis on it:

Pros:
- Good character roles, even the supporting characters were given some background
- Mature romance, not the same feeling as romcom. Has great tear-jerking parts
- Good artwork, non-verbal messages get across pretty well

Cons:
- Some viewers might feel betrayed, as episode 1 is very different from episode 2 onwards
- The wannabe love triangle mixed tsundere was overused
- Kinda predictable ending, though it was still great

Overall I think it's a great show, highly recommended. After finishing the series, I finally realized how deep the title really was. I still see great plot opportunities for a season 2.
