I watched this right after seeing Another (a great series for fans of this genre). Although it was rather slow(I really got into the series I think after the last few arcs) it was worth it in a sense, you'll get that how-the-hell-did-that-happen feeling on some of the first few episodes and get the oh-shit-so-that's-what-happened feeling on the last few.

If you have too much time on your hands you should try this.

P.S. the animation and the art gets better on the second season(and of course the CONCLUSIONS!), that's something to look forward to, right?
