A dark paranormal thriller that besides remaining throughly entertaining and tense from the beginning to the end actually manages to reasonably argue the propriety of monsters that devour mankind.

If there’s someone who can be banished from this astounding animation it would be that redhead chick that makes our protagonist wet and hard. Seriously, she is the reason I gave this anime a 9.
