Listen to this: a mysterious horror slice-of-life anime. Isn't that genius? Also, the structure will remind you of Durarara!! where you have a main narrative thread every episode and a few key events - then the point of view along with plot progression and world building gets passed along like a baton between characters as you come to a deeper understanding of what the hell happened. Only this was what, 99/2000?It's gripping and creepy and maybe even a little scary, surprisingly. "Surprisingly" because of the medium but there was a scene with a certain Snake Eye that was so well done, so well-built up that the result gave me creepy shivers. I think that was a first for anime. Visually and aurally, it knows exactly what it wants to be and it's not pleasant - it gets under your skin, it looks awful (not technically) and it sounds, as Dai put it last page, nauseating at times. Crazy series. Did I mention one of the best OPs I've heard lately and a banging ED? Because who doesn't like that feeling of never skipping an OP? 9/10</blockquote>
