    Interesting stories
    Some stories are quite good and some are not, at least not for everyone i guess. There are a lot of different stories, each has it own spooks and intense moments, there are ghosts, paranormal activities, dark fantasy, art is kinda weird compared with other animes, but watchable and clear. If you like horror stories, spooky atmosphere and mysteries - this anime is something you must to see. You can believe it or not, bit some of the episodes could stay in your head for a long time. Really good work. I have never been disappointed in japan horror movies, animes and manga. This is totally cool!!!
