This show falls into a very specific niche for me in anime that I really like. So my enjoyment is way more than it might have any right to be based on other qualities. For starters this show so far falls more into a more horror, psychological, thriller genre than a fantasy or supernatural show. So it has a lot of the things you might expect when you think horror conspiracy and Christianity or Catholicism. The talks of religion or philosophy can seem a bit shallow and possibly grating, it feels unnecessary like it was added in because they figured they priests should do ... typical preiist things. However its not the focus of the story so it doesn't feel overblown and more adds to the atmosphere than anything.

I am not a christian so if it is highly inaccurate I wouldn't know but if you are and it is inaccurate I can see things kinda taking you out of the story but in this case I suppose ignorance is bliss. The first problem I found with the show is pacing. I have only seen 4 episodes so far but if you had made all that content 7 or even 12 episodes I would not be surprised. They put in a lot of interesting twists but they barely give you time to play with one twist before moving on to the next one which I think is a bit of a missed opportunity. With the tone this first arc took this could have helped really make a creepy tense atmosphere had it just taken things slower.

This would have also helped with the characters, you see snippets of information that would make the characters and their relationships interesting and draw the audience in. These character and their friendship could have been explored more had they paced this better and not shoved in so much plot in four episodes. So instead you have kinda quirky characters that you don't really draw you in but seem fun enough to like watching.

The amount they pack in also makes you wonder what they could possibly do next. They put in so many things in this first arc that they may have exhausted alot of ideas for future arcs, and they really didn't need to. Not only that but they introduce some twists in the first arc that might have felt like the escalated the story too much or just jumped the shark completely by the end of the first arc.

But despite all this I am going to continue this show I am curious to see what they do next. Despite me complaining I did actually really like these episodes and I wasn't really sure where they were going for a bit so it was still entertaining but maybe just because it fills a specific niche for me that I don't get to enjoy very often. If you like shows involving the things I mentioned in the first paragraph and you crave them as much as me you willl probably find something to like about this show. If you aren't very interested in this kind of show then this might not appeal to you as much.
