This is a comical anime filled with comedy, laughter with heart warming moments. It is a story of stories, each the characters has a story, a tragedy, a past they keep hidden from the world.

The 1080p 1.78 X 1 digital High Definition image transfer is another state-of-the-art performer from Sentai with great color, detail and depth, while the DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) 2.0 Stereo lossless mix (with some Pro Logic surrounds unlisted) is warm, clean and consistent throughout. Extras include clean opening and closing animations and trailers.
