pros
+ lovable and unique concept
+ nice mixture of time travel, mystery, action, horror, and romance
+ very original characters
cons
- slow and slightly confusing at the beginning
- dialogue may go a little overboard
- lacks in music at times
conclusion: perhaps a little too strong on dialogue and somewhat confusing in the beginning, but if you stick through, it surprises with high intelligence, a very well thought-out storyline, and highly original characters that show excellent dynamics and good development. lovably unique, and incorporates a wide variety of genres, from supernatural time travel over action, horror, mystery, to drama and some romance. the animation's generally good, though the music lacks at times, but it isn't too distracting. greatly recommended for those who like mystery, psychological drama, and some action, but it's required that you have patience, else you probably won't make it through the start.
