When I first read a summary about this anime, I was pretty intrigued, never having seen or even heard of rotoscoping before. The fact that this technique was going to be used for a short horror anime sounded even better! I have to admit that I was pretty disappointed with the outcome though. I appreciated the experimental technique, but felt that the anime as a whole was lacking in direction and plot. At the very least, I thought they should've done a different story for each episode, but instead, it was essentially the same idea with different people. It became boring very quickly. I don't think thisanime deserves a score lower than 3/10, simply because the technique was interesting and would probably appeal to fans of Japanese horror. I thought some of the other effects were a nice touch, such as glitching and static. I also enjoyed the small segment during the credits which shows the behind-the-scenes filming process. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this anime unless you're a big fan of Japanese horror and/or rotoscoping. Otherwise, don't waste your time.

I have to say, this anime sucked. Like, a lot xD It was really disappointing; there was pretty much no plot. I didn't understand anything. They didn't even wrap up the anime at all; the last episode was just another 3 minute-long episode. A lot of people were saying how it's not scary at all, but at some parts it really did scare me xD but there was no gore, no nothing. Just a few creepy/scary scenes. What pissed me off the most is that they never answered any of my questions. They don't say WHY there are these ghost things attacking people through technology. WHYthey only appear in cameras and stuff. They don't. The only thing seriously good about this is the rotoscoping animation and the sound. Although the ED kind of ruined the horror mood, I liked seeing how the actors and actresses were having fun and stuff ^^ But yeah. I didn't really like it. You can watch it if you want; it's really short, only 3 minutes for each episode, so it doesn't take long to watch the whole thing~ and if you're in the mood to see some mediocre horror for no reason, then you can try this out I guess. ^^

This anime was overall "fine". I don't regret watching it though. Here's why: -I liked the art style -the behind the scenes clips at the end of the episodes were interesting -The episodes are only around 3 minutes long However, this anime wasn't "good" or original in any way.Here's why: -too short for any real story line or character development -the "villain" wasn't scary or original -overall, it wasn't very frightening. In conclusion, I wouldn't highly recommend this anime, but it was interesting and kinda fun to watch. I'd give it a 4/10 because I did enjoy watching it for the most part, and the art style is so satisfying and different. It takes 3 minutes an episode, so why not try it? Hope this helped.
