i'm actually a little glad it was short. if it was longer, it wouldn't have been so good
that, plus the fact that a little over half of the beginning was, let's face it, quite boring. if i watched it again i wouldn't be thinking this, but when i started it, i had to grudge myself on after i couldn't find volume 2 at my library =/
overall it was a very good anime though, and i'm definently glad i finished it
