My take

The animation, from the beginnign to the end, was spooky and eery. Legit scared me. But it also sucked me in. I didn't fall in love with characters like I did with Forevergreen, but I just felt blown over impressed with the story's twist and general story arch how it took me on a true journey into the unknown.
