1) The story - while each arc ranges in quality, the all are interesting. None amazing, but none bad. Some of them are truly scary at points, and it is rare that I actually let an anime invoke actual fear, but some parts are freaky (Slight Spoiler: Dolls are always freaky! Also, freaky kids whispering... like the two little girls in Kubrik's version of "the Shining."
2) It had some of the typical highschoolish romance stuff, and repeated pranks which I generally find annoying, but, it was refreshingly light on those concerns. The plot is not about a love triangle, it just has some comic relief involving one.
3) (or 2b) There was only one true filler episode. Very little fluff.
Overall, I enjoyed it and googled "season 2" in hopes of seeing it in the works. Haven't found anything, but I would definitely want to see another season.
