I agree with all the above posters, but this anime does not gets its due respect....cause 'ppl' really don't seem to be liking it.

Its an anime that's shld be seen completely, u can't understand the story or depth of this anime just by seeing a few episodes. Once u complete all the 26 episodes only then can one realize the 'awesomeness' of this anime.
My fav. episode wld be The last two:the real folk blues.
then: Speak like a Child.
and when humor steps in, then it wld be: Mushroom Samba. XD
