I had seen the anime several times as a child. It's quite beautiful, and serious, and a bit of a tear-jerker. It ends abruptly and intentionally, probably because they did not have the budget to continue it. I read the entire manga series over the last two days. What can I say? It's an amazing, in-depth, and beautiful narrative! I just couldn't put it down! The characters are so complex, so real, they speak to my soul. I will admit that I am a bit dissatisfied with the conclusion in many respects, but I think the result was one of the best possible.
It deals with a lot of strong topics, such as religion, reincarnation, alien civilization, ESP, age difference, etc; and may be considered taboo in some ways. Still, I HIGHLY recommend both the manga and the OVA!! The anime will draw you in, leaving you wanting more, and when you read the manga...that's when you'll truly learn the depth of the characters. There's a lot of raw emotion, so it's difficult to describe.
