rarely had i came across an anime based on the horror genre, especially not one without exaggerated facial expressions on its characters. Another (2012) might be slow on revealing its plot, it was intriguing enough to hold my attention throughout the series. the anime wasn't exactly scary, but the building tension and eerie atmosphere made it brilliant, especially when further enhanced with satisfying goriness and mysteriousness.
