I am only halfway through this show and already I am haveing trobble finding anything that special about it.
The story had potential, but ended up feeling like it was just on the serface and never really delved deeply into. Even at the halfway poinnt I finde myself not careing what happens. That's bad.
The art and sound are, in my opinion, the best things about this show. I find the art style interesting, if a bit strange at times. The sound is clear and...well...what else can I say about that?
The characters are dull. I finde I don't know much about them and that makes it ... hard to become emotionally attached. Without that attachement I find it hard to care about them. I don't even miss Mami because I barely knew her and had no attachment. She was juat like that one episode character you nbever see again. That's the way most of the caharcters feel. The exception would be Sayaka,at least we know a bit about her.
Overall this isen't the worst thing I have seen, but it dosen't live up to the hype either. Most things don't.

When I first started reading this story I liked the concept and most of the characters (Nana and Cooro annoyed me), but by the time I reached the last two books, I started to get worried.
The way It ended, it was a s if nothing had happened. The story seemed to be no farther then it was in the begining. Perhaps I just sat myself up for disappointment, as I was expecting a more conclusive ending.

I got the book this move was based off of randomly at the library one day, and really enjoyed it. When I heard this move existed I was quite happy, that is until I actually watched it. It seemed to me that a lot of the plot was cut out, and that the characters just weren't the characters I had come to love.
I even found myself confused by the end. I don't think things were explained enough. A lot of the humor was gone as well. I have never been a fan of Studio Ghibli, but I was willing to give them a chance ... with this. I have to say that I have never been so let down with a book to move adaption since The Series of Unfortunate Events. I suppose I am in the minority when I say that this move isn't as good as people make it out too be.
