Lacking in the "fear department"
Although it was scary from time to time, it had more of a "splatter movie" like storyline. The buildup was ok, although the story was missing the "sitting at the edge of your seat" moments. I didn't cringe in fear once, but were mostly just grossed out by all the gory scenes.
It was also really easy to figure out who the "real" villain was ( pretty much guessed it from the start).
I think a reason for the lack of frightening moments, may be partially blamed on the intro ( it contained way too many spoilers
...
! ). As well as the fact that it was kind of "flat", and didn't really move forth after the second murder.
Other than the fact that the main characters lacked personality, the other ones had the feeling of being more of an accessory to the plot, rather than actually being a part of the story.
The art and sound was better than average, although it often lacked the finesse in how to portray height ( the characters often came across as quite short and "compact" ). The sound was good, but the music would often ruin the buildup towards a "scary" scene.
I don't recommend it if you are looking for an anime with "breath-catching, heart-stopping" moments of utter fear, but if you are searching for a more (like I mentioned before) gory and splatter like anime, this would definitely fit what you're looking for. It really has a lot of rather disgusting scenes!
All in all it was an ok horror anime (didn't really suit my taste), but could absolutely be of worth to someone who don't like the super scary stuff, and would rather watch the more bloody n' gory stuff.
Hope this review is useful to someone :)
It's my first time writing one :P
