Such great character writing and realistic drama needs more attention... I think episode 7 of this season is one of the best dramatic episodes in any anime anywhere, since it makes you feel deeply and empathetically for a man who did something that was, well, evil--without either excusing or vilifying him. THAT is masterful storytelling. Plus, the final moments is one of the best "bittersweet" endings ever. NHK is a great series to watch after this one--though it might depress you a bit more. :) I gave both shows my "emotional satisfaction" award at the end of 2006 <a href="http://anime.imagria.com/2006/12/michael_huangs_yearend_roundup.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> because they had a similar kind of effect on me--showing me flawed, but interesting and 3-d people struggling and making it through life. It's the most we can ask for from drama. H&C is the show that got me back into anime.

I didn't notice the difference in Takemoto's voice in the last two episodes, even if I watched them back to back.
