After now having seen the entire thing, I gotta say its no suprise why this anime is so popular. Its very well written. Its full of suspense, and eerie and/or scary moments including the various death scenes(which are awfully creative), but also the character interactions, and how the mystery is built. I was trying to keep track of the death toll, but I lost count around halfway through the series(that ought to give you an idea of what´s in store). Also one word of warning:this anime is not for the squeamish. The death scenes are quite brutal, and there can be quite some blood splatter(sometimes there is less blood, but they use it so effectively, its still scary). It´s not the most gorey I have ever seen, but it was still enough to be schocking and scary, and I guess that was the point, so kudos to the shows creators :) (show less)
