The anime is worth to watch. Though the drawings look a bit childish, I must say it has a lot of scary and bloody moments. The story is very thrilling, you can't really say what will happen next. While I was watching it, I just couldn't stop. I really wanted to know what was going to happen next. The whole story is mixed up, and until you watch the whole anime, you don't understand anything. To the end I somehow managed to put the mixed pieces together.
P.S. but I'm still a bit confused. Some of the parts are still left without answers for me. But, this anime is something. You should watch.
