@munsh Same! I had a poster right next to my bed and all. I spent a lot of my younger years in isolation, living online, and I identified to the anime a lot. I am pretty much in the same situation now... Perhaps I should watch it again. See if it has aged well, or if it hasn't, or if I'm the one who hasn't.

If you haven't seen it, Haibane Renmei is from the same creative mind and it's also awesome, albeit quite different. :D
