I was really surprised when i started to watch this show, from what i though it was to what it came to be. I can assure you that you will be turned up side down; do you wanna know why i was and how could you be? well then i guess you could keep reading.


The story, it put you througha conflict between the fears of a remote town about outcomers and their curiosity towards them. Dead is a word that will be bouncing in your mind while you watch and feel powerless; expect to get confused just to realize that the truth was much simpler.
Expect to be scared when you step back and think on yourself being in the different situations that the story put our characters through.

Darkness is everywhere and in shapes so direct that we can't believe they will be so easily manifested. It is not predictable even tho you might thing you solve it all. Who has the right to live or the right to take a live? (ask yourself that and it'll make your experience a lot of fun).


I wasn't really attracted to the art in this one, for me it was more of a 'getting used to' situation since it didnt fitted really well the story; i rated it fair just because i couldn't stand some of the character designs and i felt awkward when they were presented to me for the first time.


The sound; oh my oh my it was a delightful experience, fear mostly comming from the melodies presented on each episode and darkness that came from the openings and endings but... if you ask me why in the name of everything sacred i rated the music with an outstanding; well after a while of seeing the show you will notice how the second ending (BUCK TICK - Gekka Reijin) fits in a weird way more and more perfectly to this anime; its like a symbiosis im sure you will enjoy.

The characters, hopefully you will hear it from anyone who enjoyed the show: everyone you see will be involved somehow and this is what is amazing. From the old lady sitting beside a store to the bartender serving the 'tough guys' of this town, theyre all involved, you just watch and be shaked when you rediscover 'human and monster's' will to survive.


Once you surpass the slow beginning you will be immersed in a world of medical conjectures, nightmares come to real and kids who are actually not kidding. You just watch and it'll come to you.
