labingiI was going to write a review of House of Five Leaves now that the anime has concluded, but I find that this review sums it up better than I ever could.
This is truly spectacular anime that is likely to fall under many people's radar because it is comparatively short at 12 episodes, very contemplative, and unconventional in its art. It is definitely one to see more than once. I rewatched the first couple of episodes recently and understood reams more than I did the first time around.
There are many ways to express what makes HoFL so unuusal, but perhaps none as iconic as Masa. This is a "samurai" anime in which the samurai almost never fights and only draws his sword a couple of times. His power lies not in being a warrior but in being a friend.
Go watch it. It's on Hulu.
