I struggle with my rating for this because the first half or so of the series had a really good thing going. It was very suspenseful and kept me on edge. Then about halfway through it brought in some new plot elements which added a different sub-genre to the series. About 2/3 of the way through the series it shifted genres completely and at that point it didn't really even feel like the same series. The final episode left many plot holes and unanswered questions, although it is hard to seamlessly wrap up stories involving time paradoxes. This show overly complicates things by employing both the grandfather paradox and causal loops. The protagonist must repeat the past several times over until they have taken the course of action which will alter the future. Yet we find out they are continuously stuck in the same casual loop despite this. There is a lot of fancy talk about causality, but not real explanation or conclusion on the subject. The one thing I will compliment them on is at least they took out the incest which apparently is abundant in the original visual novel.
