Watched the first two episodes blind this evening, as in I knew nothing about this series beforehand. I'm liking what I see so far.
The OP is so completely different from other anime, it really stands out. However that's not all. The world is familiar and yet unfamiliar at the same time, with a subtle dose of creepy thrown in. Even the clothes, the school uniforms, mom's kimono, we can easily identify and relate them them to our world, and yet the differences are enough to make them stand out and seem otherworldly.
What the hell happened in the last 1,000 years? People getting squished to oblivion, Holy Barriers, kids running home when the music chimes at dusk, and parents freaking out if they think their child isn't developing their skills fast enough.
It's a mixture of idyllic life mixed with quiet, brooding fear. I'm loving it so far!
