The anime has elements of horror, mystery, action, and a little romance involved. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking to watch an anime that will bring out all the feelings.
---SPOILERS after this point---
Honestly, this anime made me cry more then Angel Beats because it was not solely based on a foundation of sadness. The way it follows Shinichi from an awkward high school to a cold matured adult was done incredibly well. His mother's death did not seem rushed or too slow, it was perfectly portrayed and a great way to transition. I found it interesting how much they added elements of school and his "normal" life. Personally, I feel like whenever an anime deals with supernatural occurrences they tend to not add these elements. But we are always reminded of how distrupted his normal life is after parasites came to be.
The anime also asks so many real questions about what humans are doing to the world. By the end I really liked Migi and Shinichi's partnership, especially after he rescued Murano. Even though Migi is suppose to be emotionless, being around Shinichi and bonding together made them both better people. I honestly thought the anime was going to end on a sad note with Migi and Shinichi dying and Murano left with Shinichi's unborn child. They also didn't leave as many untied ends, such as the serial killer. Although I really wanted to know what happened to the baby and if Shinichi will ever tell Murano what happened, to explain his weird behavior and change.
Overall, I didn't find this anime boring at all. Sometimes animes talk and get psychological with multiple monologues and thoughts. While this one had that it also had so much action and thought that you begin to like it so much. Each death was painful and the author was so great at making you like the character before they died. Overall rate 100/10. ;-; One of the best endings in an anime I've seen, bittersweet, but not so sad that you feel like strangling the author.
