I went into this totally blind, so I didn't really know what to expect. It was a rather odd film. It's done in CG, which I know can be contentious for many anime fans. In this case it was very much a mixed bag. Some scenes had pretty good cinematography, and the character designs are fairly strong in my opinion. However, there are quite a few scenes were the character movements look stiff and awkward, which dragged down the overall experience. The protagonists hair barely moves, which is distracting in many scenes.
The mystery aspect of this movie is interesting in the earlier parts

of the film, but with out spoiling anything, the end results are very cliche and predictable. The sequence of events is a bit scattered. Now, shows being confusing absolutely isn't a bad thing but the implied meanings are so surface level in this that it just feels like it's trying too hard. It has a creepypasta vibe pretty much
The characters are also all pretty underdeveloped, we don't really know anything about them which makes it difficult to care when they are in danger.
Overall while deeply flawed, I did more or less enjoy watching this. Somehow I doubt this will be something that sticks in my memory for that long, it's not unique. That being said it was nice in the moment. I would recommend it if you've already seen a decent number of horror anime and are just looking for something to watch without having to overthink it. Also worth noting that most of the horror scenes involve bugs, so if you're scared of bugs it will probably be much scarier for you than if you're not. It's also not super gory so if you're wanting to avoid seeing loads of violence but still want something spooky this is a good option.
