This is a beautiful piece. Outstanding use of color/light to portray certain emotions and situations. I think what I admired most was the contrast. Since it's kind of a wacky anime, the art style was varied throughout the story. All were equally beautiful and appropriate for the story.
The soundtrack to this is one of my favorites. Similar to the artwork, the different sounds used in the series were varied according to what was happening in the plot. However, the music all had cute, mysterious, electronic vibe to it. It was whole-toney and felt like it spun around energetically in my brain.
Character development was a job well done, especially considering how much material the series covered. It seemed to me that when a character was introduced, the writers knew just what to expose about so that we could get to know very quickly, but not in a way that was painfully obvious. It was like good flash fiction.
I gave this anime a perfect score. I think that's reason enough for you to at least give it a chance after reading this :) It's a perfect blend of a murder mystery and an extreme psychological thriller.
