Shûmatsu nani shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte moratte ii desu ka?

Other than having the most unnecessarily long title I've ever seen, this anime wasn't bad. For the most part I was interested in what the characters were doing, I thought the world was intriguing, and the premise was fun. I do think it is a bit generic and forgettable, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good watch. I just think there are better anime out there with similar premises. Probably the highlight for me was the art direction, as the backgrounds and locations were excellently done and really beautiful to look at. Overall not a bad show, but I would recommend other anime over this one, such as Sword Art Online or Chivalry of a Failed Knight.

Overall the animation is solid with a fairly interesting "world", and although I'm not a fan of the overly common older man + Lolicon/Hebephilia genre it actually made sense and worked in this instance when lifespans are short as indicated.

Music choice for the first / final episode was exceptional as is the storytelling that happens along with it (I seem to have a weakness for "Scarborough Fair").

The story of the male leads suffering could have been done a little better, but I could still identify with his loss, so all things considered it was not bad..

The bleakness of the world, along with those trying to find happiness was well handled, all in all it was worth the time and I'd enjoy a second season

First many said this story is amazing and depressing and it's true. The story is beautiful, emotional and well done! Yet fans are waiting for the happy ending.

The animation graphics, dubbed voice acting, and story are excellent. The best part of this anime is the definitely the story. Its both beautiful and sad, and you should watch it till the end.

First off, this anime is dialogue-driven it means its all "talk" not much action but their is action but mostly talking. It is actually an amazing anime and a very underrated one. It shows this human Willem is his name protects this children called 'leprechauns' who wields weapons they dont fear death thats why Willem is to protect them as the story progress the emotional the story is. Its all about how to live, to protect someone, to love someone eventhough youre different. Thats why i love this anime the dialogue is so good the interaction is entertaining sometimes very cute. The romance is cute and very real at that. And the ending is so emotional, so heavy at my heart that almost cry. THIS ANIME IS WORTH IT TO WATCH
