If you think the first episode was bad (which I don't; I really liked it), you have no reason to watch further in. It gets much worse as it goes on. I think they greatly diverged from the VN at some point. This anime sucked. If you think the first episode was bad (which I don't; I really liked it), you have no reason to watch further in.

Having never played the game, it was fun to watch just to try and figure out what was going on. I really liked the show up until ep7, when it became your average "loser guy saves the world" anime.

I liked it, to a point. What can I say, psychological (or mindfuc&) are one of my favorite genres. True. I liked it, to a point.

Very similar in tone and style to "Higurashi", which was a fantastic anime. The show really picked up around episode 7, when some exposition is finally doled out and the REAL plot is revealed. I thought it was a VERY good show--maybe not quite as good as "Higurashi," but pretty damn close. I'd recommend it to fans of thriller anime, that's for sure. :) I watched all 12 episodes of the show, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Watched all 11 eps so far and I'm actually pretty happy I have. Though, I enjoyed the story before the explination of what was going on. Seems like it's either going to be a really short series but I think it's definitely worth a go for entertainment purposes. Haven't played the game.

I agree that the score is mediocre (I consider the ED to be beyond mediocre, and into the WTFAWFUL category -- too bad to be good but not bad enough to make fun of or listen to for camp value, and the OP seems to be sort of average for a newer anime, with an upbeat instrumental bit that doesn't bely the decently dark lyrics), however I don't know why you say the animation is bad. The seiyuu are overdone, but not as much as I've seen elsewhere -- this isn't evangelion-level seiyuu work, but it's not Negima?!-level either. I will be watching this to the end, if only to see what happens. I would play the game, but I cba to find a spare machine to put windows on. Let me know if it starts working in emulation.

Come on guys, can't you think of something better to whine about? Or do people really not know why and how quality level of anime is the way it is? It doesn't take a genius to take on the point-of-view of the animation studio.

Scene transitions are horribly jarring, so it seems as if they mechanically stitched the show together with no regard for timing. On the plus side, the writers arranged the story quite faithfully. All important plot points have been covered, albeit in a rushed and watered down form. However, I'd still take a well made re-interpretation over something like this. This production is a mess.

OP/ED sequence. I love Itou Kanako and i love Kagami Seira. I loved both songs but knowing what anime is about i doubt it suits the atmosphere. And animation... i have to agree (i've spiked the whole thing but few seconds was still enough). Maybe getting anime so fast was not the right idea after all.
