This anime is pretty amazing. However I want to warn younger viewers first as this anime has some disturbing scenes that might be shocking.
When you start watching this, you would think its funny and the animation might seem childish.
But this changes pretty fast when the main character discovers that not everything is as it seems...
The storyline is pretty unique as each arc is a story on its own. I dont want to spoil to much so I would just suggest you start watching this :-).
In my opinion this should be on your list if you like horror/mystery animes.
