This rather long story (62 episodes, continued with 30 (8+8+14) OVA episodes) is certainly one of the best animes I've seen up to the date.
If you liked "Rurouni Kenshin", "Full Metal Alchemist" or "Naruto", you'll like this one, too.
The action takes place in a fictitious world where sailing vessels, "Laputa"-style aircraft and modern vehicles are widely used at the same time. Some geographic locations, city names and even geographic map fragments are easily recognized as taken from the real world, monetary unit resembles Japanese Yen and the time is our present (2001). There is a magical system (Nen) of using persons's aura to create some physical effects.
