First of all lets set aside all the "genius psychology" aspects of it that people mention most of the time and lets see things how they actually are, from a real life perspective since the anime itself is supposed to be set in such manner.
An introvert guy with alot of insecurities just having a hard time at school and his social surrounding. After some series of events, the actions he has taken during his Life led him to become a messed up personality eventually..
I personally can't find anything scary or "interesting" rather the unsettling feeling that i get when i put myself in the protagonists place. The unsettling feeling i get is only because i see the protagonist taking actions and making choices I would've never done and managing situations the way that doesn't even make sense to me, most of the time getting on my nerves. I wanna relate but I can't. I wanna feel but i can't.
I just can't stand seeing a deaydreaming wimpy little teenager get manipulated, laughed at, despised, getting depression by his own thoughts.
It almost feels like the protagonist has no choice in life and is being put to the trials just for the sake of it (kinda unrealistic if you ask me) without being able to change a thing, while in reality it's the other way around, you make your choices in life and you stand for yourself in times of need.
My recommendation for this anime to my friends will be "watch it if you want to see a miserable life of a guy-gone-mad"
Soundtracks are amazing nonetheless, especially the creepy ending. The only creepy thing about this series if you ask me. The soundtracks work Great with the anime and plays a huge role giving character to the series fitting great in many scenes.
The animation feels Whacky but it actually is the chosen art style they went with, so it feels natural in a way once you get used to it. The surroundings were the best part for me with much more detail and a great world building giving you the complete feeling of getting to know the town they live in ,with great sense of direction.
Overall it definately feels like a weird trip through someone else's life.
It sure feels different from your usual anime used to be. it definately isn't for everyone,but it's sure worth checking out and figuring it out by ourself.
