About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a long, absorbing mystery that turns everyday school life uncanny, especially if you know The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya or like Steins;Gate; Not for you if you dislike slow builds or need a standalone story.
Pros: gripping mystery hook; emotional, serious tone; strong rewatch value | Cons: very long runtime; slow, padded stretches; confusing without series
