I'd give it a horror tag just because of that face.

The original was okay, what I've seen of it, but it started to get stale quick. It was episodic with each episode following the same basic outline. I assume this new one will be the same. I'll still watch though.

@Terkhev You should read the (manga, first or new animation's) synopsis better.

I assume you mean that it's episodic? I read that, but there are some episodic titles that are better to watch in order.

Lol holy shit. Too bad the original isn't fully subbed right now, I'd like to watch that one before this. Maybe I'll just watch what's been subbed just to get a good feel of what to expect.

It's marked as sequel on MAL. I hope I won't need to watch 1989 one before this.
