Indeed this is an excelent piece of animation, I do however have one correction to suggest in the title, the name "Boogiepop Never Laughs" actually refers to a light novel (and live action movie) that takes place before the series Boogiepop Phantom, and explains what the "Mysterious Pilliar of Light" is, as well as origins of many of the characters.

That being said, the story is Awesome. Aaaaand somewhat confusing at first. Like a lot of the best stories, you need more than one view, one perspective to understand the bigger picture. At times the Dialogue can suffer, but thats really to be expected from a mystery/horror. The animation isn't always for everyone either, though when you uderstand that most of the story is told through flashbacks/people messing with others heads, the often sepia toned/tunnel visioned art makes sense, in its own twisted way.
