Wow, adaption (hopefully) not involving fanservice, oppai and plot holes. One in a million these days.

I lyk the artwork and anything involving blood, mystery & murder (preferably of bald & stinky MADAO(s) ) is always welcome in my novel <3

So according to synopsis, the class 3-3 every year (third year of junior high school) kills one girl, because of the goodwill in 1972. Well it sounds quite interesting, I'll probably watch it

Ahaha, just looking by the cover of the Novel, it makes you want to read it, for a mystery genre lover of course. Looking forward to the anime :3

Gonna watch it.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

These "mystery" series really aren't my kind of thing, assuming it's one of those that has a supernatural edge that makes it impossible to guess what is happening (the entire point of a mystery anime in the first place) Mononoke, Paranoia Agent and Boogiepop Phantom are the only anime that managed to make that work IMO so far, but this seems to be more along the lines of Higurashi and Shiki than the ones I mentioned.

Well, at least the manga is publishing in a seinen magazine, so I might check an episode out if I have nothing better to do.

I want this.

However, the problem with mystery novel is that they are very dependent on the capability of animation studio.... If it gets the hand of Studio Deen or other crappy ones, it will be disastrous.
