This is one scary anime if you only start watching cause it's friends kill friends... One episode they're good friends, next one is dead thanks to that "good friend". But after one has died, you'd think what else is there to make up the story till 24 episodes?Well, that's cause even though one may die in one chapter, on the next chapter, the dead walks again! Hahahaha~!!! That's what I thought when I started watching this series. Each chapter focuses on different characters.
It tells the story of different character, why that particular character can go violent and killing people. But all of the ending is always the same. RIKA-chan ALWAYS dies and the village is wipe out of the face of the earth.
Then the second season: It started off with 30 years later. We get to see the future without the whole village. Then, flashbacks to how it all happened. Only then we viewers get to see the REAL situation.
Why is there so many chapters? How can people who died be alive later? What's really happening? Is it all a dream or reality? All this questions that us viewers has in mind will be answered in this season.
