I love this anime. I will give it a 10/10 rating. The anime is so fantastically done by Kyoto Animation that you won't even think for a second that it's from 2012. It's a mystery anime that shows how one can connect dots with lots of humor and a little bit of romance in between. Each sentence in the end and between episodes has a deep meaning; it does hit the spot if you are looking for some different anime than usual, yet close to average shounen
