To start with, the most immediately eye-catching thing about this show when scrolling through seasonals is the art style. Mayuka Itou and the rest of the staff clearly faced a decision when trying to adapt the extremely detailed source material: simplify the designs so that they're easier to animate, or stick to the level of detail of the original manga. Unfortunately, they chose the latter. While it's interesting to see a show where every individual frame is so detailed it could be a desktop wallpaper, it comes at the cost of actual animation. Simply put: the characters barely move. The show is so stiff to look at that it makes me wonder why someone wouldn't just go read the manga.
The problems don't end with the animation. The story is a bland Monogatari-series style haunted-school affair, although where Monogatari was creative and had interesting characters, Jibaku has none of those. Our main antagonists are causing supernatural shenanigans, but their motivations for doing so are never clearly stated. Characters are flat and impossible to imagine existing outside the world of the show. The tone of the show also fluctuates constantly; it's like the show doesn't know if it wants to be creepy, funny, or dramatic, so it tries to be all three, sometimes within a single scene. This mish-mash of emotions makes the show come off as tone-deaf. Each episode follows a very repetitive formula: Nene gets into trouble with a ghost, Hanako saves her, repeat. The only real props I can give are to the voice acting. Megumi Ogata (Shinji Ikari from Evangelion) brings her buttery voice to give a fantastic performance as Hanako.
Overall, if the premise of Jibaku seems interesting, maybe read the manga. As it stands, this is an anime safe to skip.
