Story(6): Tasogare Otome x Amnesia tells of a very peculiar tale, the ability of a high school student to detect and interact with one belonging to the supernatural realm, can only lead to trouble if not disaster. Much of the circumstances regarding the death of the one who still haunts the world of the living, has been shrouded in mystery. By the power of a mismatched group of teenagers under the pretense of being a Paranormal investigations club, Teiichi and his group attempts to unravel the mysteries of an unknown death; perhaps allowing the lingering spirit to rest in peace at long last. Tasogare Otome x Amnesia most certainly is worthy of your afternoon tea time, with a sufficiently captivating story that may leave you questioning the morality of adults who make decisions that affect many others.
Art(6): The atmosphere is definitely re-enforced by the artistic style of Tasogare Otome x Amnesia. The colors are not bright, they are dull and a bit on the grey side; properly representing the dark and mysterious nature of this anime. There is an ever present feeling of danger right around the corner, similar in a sense to that of a haunted house. This feeling that something is not right but one can not determine what is wrong; that feeling is reflected well in the art.
Sound(5): Tasogare Otome x Amnesia seems to employ echoing words and repeating of certain phrases in order to deliver a deeper impact upon the viewer during possible key moments in the story. The music is of the unknown sort, in the sense that one feels as if there is something missing but no one knows what that something is; thus in that regard, the sound and music of this anime fit relatively well with the overall theme that there is a mystery to be solved.
Characters(7): The strength of this type of anime generally depend greatly upon the characters themselves. There certainly is a character who could be considered comic relief or rather has the capability to speak yet seems to be brainless. Those who can see what no mortal should ever be able to see, ultimately are the ones who must resolve the mystery they have found themselves in the middle of. This leads to the bonding of mortal and spirit in a way that could be considered amongst the highest cases of forbidden love. The Character development is indeed the highlight of Tasogare Otome x Amnesia.
Enjoyment(7): The level of enjoyment one might attain from watching Tasogare Otome x Amnesia is questionable. There is certainly a lot of Character development within a short period of time, as the mysteries of prior generations are unraveled and the true cause of death of a lingering spirit are revealed, an unexpected bump in the road to the "and they lived happily ever after" type of ending occurs. Such surprises that leaves the viewer often guessing and mystified as to the reasons behind certain actions, is in my personal opinion the most enjoyable aspect of Tasogare Otome x Amnesia.
Overall(6): Tasogare Otome x Amnesia is an adequately enjoyable anime over afternoon tea. I find the solving of mysteries of the supernatural kind to be quite entertaining to observe. When beings not of the mortal world are involved, it is enjoyable to attempt to predict their actions as Human Psychology certainly does not apply to supernatural beings, such as Ghosts and Demons; which I consider the true entertainment value of this anime. Tasogare Otome x Amnesia is certainly an anime that possess a Halloween aura to it, therefore if you are frightened easily by the supernatural, I would recommend that you do not watch Tasogare Otome x Amnesia and seek out slice of life animes such as Clannad.
