Best Anime serie ever.

I just finished watching the complete serie that I ran trough in a couple of days. From the first episode I had to see it ALL. The story is great, the way the story is told and drawn is absolutely superb. Classy all the way and a weird eerie choise of music. I've been an avid anime fan for 13 years now and I wouldn't just say this if it weren't true, this is the best anime series ever. The best anime movie I consider to be Akira, but this is the best serie, as a matter a fact this one topped 3x3 eyes off the first place to me.

I could ramble on about this series forever, but I suggest you just go see it.
