When I started watching it was just normal next series. In the middle of events I knew that it will be special. The following had strike me down for live:

* There faith in Sensei was what kept them together.
* the pure love they feel for each other is magnificent. Willing to sacrifice one's good for the sake of others
* all members of the fifts act as a whole.

At the end I love it, with its teacher flows, but mostly cause it can be real life.
