My End Verdict:
Ahh... when I first watch this anime, the word that really burns to my mind was the word - "World Exposition" which is held at least once every 5 years. I cant wait for the next which is located in ShangHai~ Ahh... my Papa's place haha. Ok, back to anime related statement - I never thought it would turn out this way seriously... overly dramatic at times but overall a great anime.

Rating: 4.3/5. Must watch~!
