Story
Yes, oh god yes, I really enjoyed the story. The opening was definitely not boring, also something I would like to point out with this genre (horror). They did not make the mistake of making characters dying left to right, I mean some horror genre can have a very high death count, this particular anime did not have that, and that made it all better! They did not skip on anything, they balanced the romance and the horror, it wasn't too overwhelming.
Art
The style was not too shabby, I liked how they had these special transitions, never seen one of those before. The antagonist was really wicked looking, definitely not common to have that style, in my opinion. Some of the scenes were well done, they really did a number on how to expose the essential parts of the scene.
Sound
I am a sucker for piano, so naturally I had to give it a "10". Especially how they embedded the soundtrack with the scenes, it was magnificent, that made the scenes a thousand times better! The emotions they wanted to reveal was much more effective with the sound, and that is what I truly appreciate in an anime!
Character
The score was not as high since, of course the main characters were well made with their background, personality and all that but I did not like how they in some scenes pushed in unessential characters. This made no sense, was it to clarify the scene or? It just confused me, I mean they weren't suppose to be important and they didn't enhance anything to the story nor did anything significant. It was just unnecessary, I mean you wouldn't notice even if they were not present.
Summarize
I truly enjoyed this one, for many reasons, but the one that took it to the top was that everything fell into place so good, just like cogwheels, it went like a charm. This is far the best romantic horror based anime I've seen. I can't even really express to how I felt watching this one, something that some might not agree with is the ending. Some would have preferred the other way, and some the direction this one went with, in my case, I would have preferred the other way actually, that is why this one was not outstanding! To be fair, it wasn't a bad closure but with everything they built up, the other way would have emphasized the effect of the structure, all that said, it is still worth watching, especially if you like romance!
