Its ok if you do, and its ok if you don't. There is a side for you here.
It starts off as a who-dunit and turns into a how-ja-do-it.
A previous review said that some of the parts are repetitive and it may be some what true but that the whole point. The story is more or less a game of can you prove it.
There is a decent amount of gore in this series but maybe even more disturbing is how dark and cruel some of the characters can be. I found it pretty captivating through out and for the most part the dialogue was pretty decent.
The series didn't end exactly the way I wanted and it left me wanting more. After a quick bit of research I found that there are a series of games that this anime was modeled after. Most of them are in Japanese but there are a few fan sites that offer english translation. The latest game being on the PS3.
All in all if your looking for a good horror mystery mixed with an emotional roller coaster, give this anime a spin. It was a good fit for me.
