*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I watched few episodes and thought I might get in to it, but I just wonder what the hell happened to the horror? In the first episode we have two guys; a soldier and a cop talking to a retired constable about mystery events that took place in this abandoned village, the mood build up is pretty OK and I'm interested to see the second episode.

~Though seeing the first female character almost caused my head to explode. Because here we have three guys who look quite normal considering it's a Japanese cartoon, so I could pretty much assume that we are going to have pretty-not-abominable looking characters, BUT then comes in the female characters. And they look like straight-out-annnime-stereotypes; small nose, huge eyes and a gigantic head (compared to rest of the body).~

On we go to the next episode, AND suddenly we are going back in to the retarded HATTOROO KAWWAIII cartoon bullsh*t where little children with huge heads and small noses talk irrelevant crap and do absolutely stupid sh*t that makes a normal non-wapanese person grind their teeth.

In other words I didn't see anything I saw in the earlier episode, no mystery, no creepy music and no old people standing in a room talking about stuff that is something other than "you teased Katsuo again by poking him with a cucumber".

-4 out of 10 because first episode just happened to be interesting enough. -4 out of 10 because episode two just managed to take out all that interest and show it in to the sh*t blender.

I can't watch something that is first about serious people talking about serious matters and next about green haired kids talking about pandas, moochies poochies and Keisukes haircut.

This reminded me so much of that time I wasted on the other crappy show called *cough* Elfen Lied (Indeed Elfen Lied is one of the only few shows that I've dropped after a short while because it was crap.) that I just had to write a little review.

~Afterword: If you don't enjoy screaming, huge eyed, small nosed, high pitch voiced, cartoon lifeforms doing annoying stuff on-screen, stay away from this. Because unfortunately there seems to be a lot of that.~
