Binbou Shimai Monogatari

Funny, I found this among my anime series I was digging up. I wanted to share this with you guys. I've done the search function and found nothing. This is a 10 episode series, short and sweet (sad as well) about two sisters ... one whom is still in high school and she works as the other is a young 10~11 year old who supports her. One is smart (small one) as the other is a klutz (the older one). I am planning to watch it next week on Friday. It is on BakaBT so grab it HERE and tell me what you think about it. I really like it and I still remember most of its episodes. Those two females have no family to support them, just wanted to mention. ;]

I know I posted about this some time ago. Must be gone by now then.

Any how, I liked this series a lot. It hit me strongly and I quit watching it twice due to how depressed it made me feel. Guess it depends on if you can accept that they live in an alternate world where the state doesn't take care of children without parents, if you can't it will fail.

Damn me!!! I don't know when but I started reading the manga but then forgot about it! Thanks, Tatsujin for creating this thread! I'll read the manga and then watch the anime. Until now I haven't even known that there was an anime adaptation.

Tell me if the Manga is good! And no problem.

@ Soss -- Yeah, I thought there was a thread about this and I searched but didn't find anything. But well, I'm going to watch it and I want people to join me >_<

True, it's a classic case of this:

I thought Poor Sisters' Story was okay, but I'd describe it as "unmarathonable" -- it's just so saccharine sweet (despite its depressing content) that it's hard to take more than 1 episode in 1 sitting. Most of the content was only mildly  -worthy, but what bugged me the most was

(click to show/hide)

when Kyou and Asu had the chance to live rent-free in a spare room at one of the neighborhood shops. Any rational poor person would jump at that opportunity, yet they turn it down because Asu liked the view of the cherry trees from their run-down apartment, or some bullshit like that.

But the last episode was good, it had genuine tearjerker power.

That is true, I managed 4 in a row at most.

(Somebody bump Taishou Yakyuu Musume, ep 5 deserves it...)

Edit

That tvtropes site was pretty fun to jump around on for a bit. Not something I would use myself, but a nice resource in any case. Thanks.
