Just an absolutely amazing and tense thriller. It's also exactly the kind of suspense and psychological mystery/thriller I love.
Also it's just as good as the adaption, even though the soundtrack added a little more atmosphere to the anime.
All in all I'm falling in love with the story and it's characters, again. Reliving and revisiting an old absolute favorite.
Recommended to all who love dark thrillers with many psychological aspects and are okay with slow (sloooow) paced stories.
