Each episode was about 12 minutes so it was an easy binge.

The animation style took a bit of getting used to, but with the attention to sound, this “flash card” like style of traditional storytelling worked for me. The scenes lack of motion was made up for with the sound and attention to other details, such as drifting dust across the screen, or the sound being a nice match for the sceen.

The characters took a bit long to develop but honestly, I don’t understand why all the negative reviews. Perhaps my being a horror fan for many years has me jaded to most western horror and this had me enjoying it because it was something different. I think the shorter episode length a good fit for this anime.

The story was a monster hunt that featured different types of monsters beside the main one, which muddied it a bit for my taste. It was not made clear to me how/if the monsters were related. I think they needed to tie the monsters together more. That would have made the story flow better.

The ending was a bit muddy for my taste, but I like a clean as a whistle ending.

I don’t think it is for everyone and despite the problems, I did enjoy this anime. I would recommend it to horror fans that are looking for something different.
