I can't describe it, it's a mixture of gore and and caring for the characters. In normal horror movies you don't get as much time to like the characters, but this anime does enough character building over its course that the end of season one is actually a happy ending.

It's based on a visual novel, and abuses that mechanic, so you get a arc bad things happen time rewinds, different bad things happen, rewind even worse bad things happen. By the time you hit episode 15, you just don't want to hit play. Not because it's boring or bad, you just don't know if you can take anymore.

That's pretty much as much as I can give you.

Other than that, it did get licensed in the US, but the distributer decided they didn't want to do anything with it. And in Japan they stopped showing it on TV for a period of time because a few knife murders were in the news and it was considered distasteful.
