Crying out love...
10 / 101 Jan 2006
This is absolutely the saddest love story I've ever seen.
The acting is very well done on most parts. Saku's younger self seems to have a permanently sulky face, but his perfomance is great nonetheless. Hirose Aki's actress is great, too, as is the the supporting cast.
The cinematography is very breathtaking at parts, and the soundtrack, though a bit repetitive, always hits right on.
I seem to have listed a bunch of little faults and nitpicks, but I gave the show a 10 because it is very gripping, and at least one scene in every episode would push me to the edge of tears. The last episode had me sobbing out loud.
Highly recommended!
