Without further ado, I;ll just jump right into my review~

Art: 8/10
The art was consistent, although in later episodes, there became a larger focus on overstated emotions (chibis) then there was in the earlier episodes. Character designs were simple, but worked well for the setting. Environments were very nice with lots of detail.

Story: 8/10
The series is split into several pieces; each piece being a case that they have to solve. Keeping this from a perfect score is the bit of filler that laces the series from episode to episode and the lack of explanation of central plot points (people not using powers they had until just the right moment with no prior indication).

Sound: 7/10
I really liked the OP. Nothing really memorable about the rest of the soundtrack. General mood-fitting stuff. The lack of memorable compositions keeps it from a higher score.

Character: 7/10
This is the biggest problem with this anime: most of the characters did not have a clear back story. Indeed, a character's past was explained only when convenient to the story and was usually only mentioned a few times afterward. Character relationships (especially the romances) were also not clearly developed, leaving a lot of loose ends after the anime ended.

Enjoyment: 9/10
Not much to say here, it was a fun watch. Not too creepy, but enough to send a few shivers down your spine if watching at night. As someone who gets bored very easily, I got through it remarkably quickly without it feeling like a chore. The ending was slightly disappointing, but that was the only major complaint from me.

Overall: 8/10
A good, solid horror/mystery anime. A fun, easy watch, even for those who scare easily. Definitely recommended to any anime fan.
