There were a few weird moments that felt like cliche rips of standard school life scenes that made me laugh from how out of place they were. Aside from that, the sum total of this show's parts are actually so creepy, awkward, and uncomfortable that I have a hard time watching. Yet it's just enticing enough that I still feel the need to finish the episode. And I guess that's exactly what the manga author wanted? So kudos to them for having a show so good at making me not want to watch it that I want to watch it.
Also, dat ED. It's perfect. So very perfect.

I am and I'm enjoying it thus far. As far as the rotoscoping goes, I've pretty much abandoned the mindset that "this is an anime" and I'm treating it as a live action. It's easier to do that when you see real portraits of the actors. The anime sets up a great atmosphere and great character conflict which I hope persists through out the series.
