this a series of many different arc all take place in hinamizawa of 1983. with the first episode it kinda make you think this be gon na be your typical cute funny anime . but it not . it be truly a horror and a thriller anime . even if you do not like violence i believe most people would still appreciate this anime . in a way it could also fit into the mystery genre . surprisingly and the arc do not get old nor repetitive . which before watch this anime i be afraid of . after each episode you want to watch more . overall this be an amazing anime and i would recommend it to anyone . ( not child though of course since it be quite violent } .
