This anime is very good, but it is a bit violent, and there is almost at least a single person dying in every chapter. If you do not like violence or scary stories, I advice you not to watch it, as it is quite scary too. The characters in the anime might look quite childish, but the storyline is quite gory despite the appearance of the characters. The anime is quite good, since there is a 'chapter' for every main character, though it maybe confusing at first, after watching the first two chapters, you may get used to it. Sometimes I dislike this anime, because it does give you quite a big shock sometimes, so don't watch this anime if you are scared easily...Overall, I think this is a great anime for anyone who likes violence and mysteries.
