I always remember this show because it was one of the first ever ADV review discs I sat down to watch and I knew nothing about it at all; 1hr 40mins later and I was absolutely stunned, it's great coming into a show with no expectations and being surprised. The second episode (Kino helps the homeless people from freezing) and her back-story episode too. Both of them are intelligent, but match the commentary with a strong emotional catharsis.

All the fascinating ones involving differing points of view, flashbacks, and brutal violence were not animated.

It was the sort of show that I could have watched way more than 13 episodes of. Episodic anime like this are series that I can watch probably hundreds of episodes of and not get tired of. Though I suppose something like this is much more imaginative than, say, a Detective Conan or Sazae-san and so the level of imagination probably wouldn't be able to be sustained over such a long period of time. There's supposed to be a movie coming out soon. I await to see what that's like. I was definitely a fan of this show. It was the sort of show that I could have watched way more than 13 episodes of.
