Aaaaah, I'm so glad you like it! It's got a hell of a lot of charm, doesn't it? This is one of the things I mean when I keep saying that it's an underrated gem (partly because a lot of Americans weren't interested in it for being an European co-production and partly because anime fans weren't interested in it for not being 'pure anime', but rather co-produced between Japan and France and Canada).

On the other hand, I'm also a bit pleased that it's not more well-known. With fandom in the state it's currently in, I'd have been dodging hate aimed at my favorite character in Oban left and right and I'd rather not go through that, after dealing with Dragon Age and Star Wars fandoms, thank you very much!
