Story:
A horror bl ? Count me in ! That said the story is quite nice to follow but around the end we had pacing problems. Things were going too quick for their own good. We also had many flashbacks which made things hard to follow. The ghost stuff was also kinda difficult to understand in addition to flashbacks. The story was too complex for its own good. The end felt rushed because we had very little to catch up with the story after all of those flashbacks.
Art:
Damn that’s rough. The art is alright at the start but as the episodes continued the art was getting worse. It’s a shame because they had a lot of interesting ideas in terms of presentation, especially at the end. It’s also disappointing because they had a very nice horror feel to it but with this janky art it wasn’t that fear inducing. Sad to see that this small adaptation don’t get a lot of care.
Sound:
A nice cast overall and I have to say that Hatano-san did a fantastic job dubbing Hiyakawa. He was very in character, with a creepy/unsettling thing to his voice. The ops and ends were awesome. People put a lot of care in the sound aspect of this anime.
Characters:
Finally a developped female character in a bl ! That said, I really liked the characters. Mikado was a bit flat at the start but evolved into a more pleasant character. Hiyakawa is far from being a cliché, never seen such unique personality. Speaking of our two male leads, I was afraid at first that their relationship would end up toxic, seeing how mikado was like the puppy of Hiyakawa. Gladly that changed for the best, each one relaying on the other.
Enjoyement:
I must say I laughed. There were a lot of scenes that looked like they belonged to a more steamy yaoi that were played for comedy. It looked like that one corset scene in Black butler. I also enjoyed a lot the horror elements in there (especially Erika's powers).
Overall:
One thing it lacks is a good animation, so if you're interested and don't mind the look of it I would say go for it. They did a nice anime but they could have made a great one.
