Really nice visuals in the trailer. It has a strong 'Serial Experiments Lain' vibe to it; very atmospheric.

I'd say it looks kind of Boogiepop Phantom-ish but it basically amounts to same thing.

Tch. I was following the manga even before Vertical licensed it. You spoiler[shit]bugs.

(Obviously, I'm just jesting. If you read the manga, you'll know what I meant)

I wish that they showed character animation.I hope that they didn't because they want to surprise us with how it is good,and not because of production problems.But music and those still shots were absolutely great.Themes are similar to Boogiepop Phantom so i can see why they would go for that atmosphere.

Creepy. One single piano note juxtaposed to rising scratch sounds elevated to a sheering pitch and then all of a sudden cut to silence.

Kinda reminds me of Tool.

This looks like it could be a very effective horror story. I know I'm kinda grasping at straws here, but I consider a disturbing story such as this to be the stuff of nightmares. Horror is all about atmosphere and this trailer is oozing with it.

Another Spring series to look forward to watch. I hope it is a mystery, well written series. This trailer seems to suggest a mystery/horror feel.

To put this show in a same category as yet another show about adolescents is to do gigantic disservice to it before it even aired.It is a show about adolescents in the same sense Evangelion and Boogiepop Phantom were.And no there is no mystery,but I find manga to be creepy and quite disturbing.

How I wish manga readers will not spoil anime adaptations. Let me decide how good an anime (even if it is an adaptation) is on its own merits.

And yes, saying that this upcoming anime adaptation is not a mystery is spoiling the fun of finding what the story/plot is about.
