With all its fault, I do think the show came VERY close to being a great show. At the least, it's a very good show IMO. It has the suspense and GREAT writing, even if the endgame didn't live up to the hype. At least the suspense part alone is concerned, no other anime made my pulse racing with a mix of mystery and terror at the same time. Again, SO much potential if the show took a conventional 'boys gets into creepy ghost stories' path. Even if conventional, at least it'd make good use of the creepiness.
As for Denno Coil, even that show felt a bit hurried in the end, and this show, even more so. That says a lot.
