I don't care much for the artwork. It is very artistic. The animation mimics kamishibai well. It's just a little too different for my taste. It has a semi realist style too it. It kind of blurs the border as to what defines an anime at times. On the bright side, it does make it creepier.
The music for this one is awesome! It really enhances/brings Yami Shibai to life. Honestly, it probably would not be that creepy without it. The voice acting not bad also. For me, the best thing about this anime is the ending theme. I am a huge Vocaloid fan. Miku was perfect at the end. I sometimes remember to watch this just becouse I like the ending.
The characters are just characters in this anime. They weren't meant to stand out, and they don't. They are usually only in one episode a piece, so you don't actually get to see much of there personality. They usually react like normal people to the situations, though.
It's definitely different than most anime, but definitely worth at least checking out if your a fan of horror. It's not something I would not re watch at the same time (the surprises are what makes it worth watching). For only five minutes an episode, you can't go wrong.
