Produced by P.A. Works
Review from my POV (w/personal biases)
Mild (Sp)oilers
PRO/What I Liked:
+ The overall atmosphere of this show is setup right from the get go. From the eerie speech in the beginning of the first episode (and every other episode for that matter) to the built tension leading to a climactic-heavy ending for almost every episode, it does a good job of being legitimately "horrifying"
+ In typical P.A. Works fashion, they know how to make a show look pretty.
+ (personal) The pacing of the plot might seem a bit sluggish at first I'll admit. For me though, I thought it was a good way to build tension.
+ Some of the more light-hearted characters (Teshigawara, Mochizuki, etc.) gave you room to breathe, giving you moments of light humor and diversity.
+THE BLOOD. OH JESUS!!!! :P
CONS/What I didnt like so much:
- Mei Misaki pushes the doll-like personality too hard at crucial times especially when she is faced with intense danger.
- The ending theme is very misleading
- There were some scenes that featured a grim occurrence, yet was followed by a scene where I felt the characters seemed too laid back for my taste.
- (Sp) I felt a certain plot device involving an eye could've been handled better.
Final Note: I've never have been a huge fan of horror. I consider myself quite the opposite, yet i decided to give this one a chance. I ended having alot of fun with this show. It's plot might not be the best i've seen nor is it the tightest, but the tense pacing and the blood curdling animations help this show move foward in the right direction, even if it does stray a bit from its projected goal.
