Kurozuka is extremely different in the way the story is presented. Do not take that statement lightly.

At the beginning of this anime (for what seems several episodes) it is extremely hard to stay interested because of the perspective the story. It does however, change so that the watcher can follow along and begin making sense of the earlier scenes.

Considering the actual content of the anime, the story was interesting with intriguing art. The action primarily in the middle of the anime is fairly graphic, which was almost unexpected... But very entertaining.

Saying those few things, I appreciate the different approach in story telling, however ... daunting it was. It almost makes me think they did it so the watcher would be as dazed and confused as the main character. I stayed long enough to get past it because of the art and the hints of mystery at the beginning. The mysteriousness was redundant, but the redundancy serves a purpose.

Overall I would recommend this more to those who are primarily interested in action, thrillers or just up for something different. I do think it is good though, and worth watching for its other aspects. Even though it contains supernatural mystery the action is what you would probably stay for, because the mystery takes a bit to reveal itself... AS a mystery.

Overall: I give it a modest 8 for its uniqueness, art and story
