What I like about this series compared to others of its ilk is that, although silly and random at times, it mostly sticks to definite plotline using coherent scenes. They even manage a couple of wee subplots with the supporting cast. It also means the story remains focused on Sakura and Dokuro's relationship, developing it with every gory murder and cute-but-short-lived reconciliation. It was a wise decision to make this a short series of mini episodes (roughly 13 minutes each) because every instalment stops short of tedium, keeping the viewer refreshed for the next little mishap. Once Sakura gets home, however, the entire series changes to a new and shocking track! The story opens innocently enough with Sakura and the girl of his dreams Shizuki walking home to a gentle melodic theme, lulling the viewer into thinking this is another mediocre slice-of-life. There really isn't much else to say apart from what is in the AniRec synopsis without ruining the viewing experience. Stor圜omplex and deep it ain't but the series sure makes up for it with a sick and eccentric premise.
