This was a decent quick watch. It has horror and suspense brought about from the children who get hunted down by the demons one-by-one and it leads to a shocking finale over the truth behind the entire hide-and-seek game. The visuals appear to be totally rendered in cel-shaded CGI which does do the job decently at rendering environments, character designs and movements. However, it does look a bit awkward with facial details as the children don't move their mouths as they talk and the lack of believable blinking with eyes. Plus with a complete lack of characterization, there isn't any means of which for the viewer to connect with the children as they are chased down. For such issues, I'm left with no choice but to keep this series a Watch. It's a good rental to quickly breeze through, but nothing special to make it worth buying.

If you like horror, then buy. Buy watch, re-watch, ingest, become, understand, and love. This is one of the greatest horror anime I have ever seen. Yes, it is creepy, and if you like creepy anime you will love this one. The scares aren't made by being jumpy, like most horror movies, but are made by being there. The ambiance, the mood, the lighting, it's scary because it's scary, not because they jump out of the closet to get you. The characters are amazing, and even though it's kind of short, you get to know them all and either like ot hate them all. The main point, is you get to know them. This couldn't have aired at a better time, it's the perfect holloween anime. I'm going to go play hide and seek right now. Hopefully I'll see ya again.

Drama : Med Comedy : None Action : Med SciFi : High Ecchi : None I watched this with one eye for the first 5 minutes. Then after I gave it my full attention, I noticed I missed quite a bit of story setup. (I was at a screening). After the characters started to vanish, I realized I was into a major mystery horror. Watching the last 15 minutes or so I realized it's pretty good. At the end I confirmed it was a very good tale. Why did I mark it watch? Because after you watch it once you do NOT want to watch it again. It's really creepy and not something I want to watch more than once. Last updated Sunday, October 09 2005.
