I like this anime enough to write a review for it - a rather unusual thing for me to do!

Before I describe what I enjoy about the show, I would like to mention its shortcomings first. The animation is lacking, and the artwork and soundtrack mediocre.

Having said that, the animators make up by employing clever directorial choices. The characters are designed unlike your typical anime and can be distinguished between quite easily. Each character has been afforded a unique design. I found them quite likeable and enjoyed the atmosphere the show is set in. One can make the case that there are no filler episodes ... with every episode revealing a detail or a central character's nature. The opening grew on me over time and the main theme is pretty good though I do not expect everyone to enjoy the opening song. The show feels quite realistic and does not rely on supernatural devices. The entire mystery gets solved and all the questions answered by the end of the show.

I would highly recommend this to fans of mystery who do not prioritize animation. It has a good story and great characters. I must have watched this show at least 8 times in last 8 months!
