    Watch it
    Regardless of the reviews, if you understand anime, and in general horror japanese culture you'd like this one, the concept is amazing, the story is good, the characters are alright and even for a short one it keeps you thinking about the future of this story.

    The ones complaining are either new to anime, dont get anime horror, or thought this is some triple A budgeted horror anime, which clearly it isnt.

    Watch it if you enjoy horror and want a fast-tracked one.
