Anime has never been better!, 20 October 2001
10/10
Author: rising_star-42 from United States

Dark series about a woman with a past, a woman who can't remember the past, and the secret that could destroy them both. The music is breathtaking, and the plot is winding and unpredictable. It's anime for people who didn't think they liked anime. Great stuff.
