This was absolutely a wild ride and I completely loved it. The plot is super original, the art style is gorgeous, and overall I was just completely hooked. You totally find yourself feeling for the children and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Absolutely fantastic.

Overall, I really enjoyed this peek outside my comfort zone. I'd definitely recommend anyone check it (or its [first season of] anime) out if you're interested in high-tension horror/thriller, suspenseful twists, or intelligent characters using logic and reasoning against equally impressive opponents. There honestly isn't as much horrific imagery (gore or body horror) as I was expecting, but there are some deaths, as well as a lot of imagined (child) corpses, so it's not that tame either. Dread, lots and lots of dread. Still, if you're looking for something spooky for this season, but the typical ghosts and ghouls aren't piquing your interest, give this series a look.
