In a rural area of Japan, when old legend is becoming reality, a small group of courageous locals is formed to stop the occult forces from emerging.

The show is very exciting to watch. It pulls one twist after another and keeps high degree of suspense throughout the whole story. The storytelling intensively focuses on the main plot line to keep the suspense intact all the time, not even a second is wasted. All characters play their role well.

With a lot of well animated action scenes and fights in addition to thriller-esque nature, the show will increase our heartbeat even more with its chess-like battles full of smarts and strategies. It also doesn’t fear to show a lot of blood and violence.

The show has also a time travel feature and its usage is necessary to defeat the villains. All the time travel and hidden dialogues revealed non-chronologically (via flashbacks) get confusing after some time. Therefore, high focus on the plot is required.

Slowly reaching the final events (without spoiling anything), it gets very strange, unpredictable and the overall conclusion only adds on it. I can see some people hating on the conclusion and others to love it. It’s neither bad nor ruined, it just hits very differently. It probably may need some time to digest since the whole story was one hell of a roller coaster.

One may miss some vital info due to dense storytelling. Perhaps, to get a better picture, it is worth rewatching after some time (I know I will).

Pros:
+ suspense
+ battle of wits
+ exciting and well animated action scenes

Cons:
- densely provided information may get confusing

Double-edged:
+/- probably needs a rewatch to connect all dots
+/- may need some time to digest the final events

9/10 (GREAT)
