          Fine for those who love horror at its extreme.

          I loved the art style used though the content was a bit depressing. But I've got to admit that this work is a masterpiece in its own ways given that the director/animator, Hiroshi Harada had to work on it for five years and alone. I am happy I learned something from it, that we can find solace even in a place similar to hell.
